"I'm out of my depth too"
I wouldn't get too bogged down in the detail and mechanisms involved because these mechanisms have a tendency to interact and are difficult to predict. At the heart of what is happening, is the beautiful and basic truth of Darwinian biology - variation (mutation) followed by a process of natural selection; the fittest will survive and go on to reproduce. Darwinian principles apply just as much to us, and to our survival, as they do to the virus and its survival.
