This sounds like the plot of some sort of Netlix series, where you become a "Powerpoint designer" for an incredibly shady organization and slowly spiral into a life of bald men stroking hairless cats in beige offices, facilitating corrupt dealings, secret meeting rooms in Saudi Arabia and smuggling body parts in and out of the Zürich headquarters...

In my narrative universe it would depend on the sequences that affect transmissibility and virulence. Some strains may coexist, especially in a patient with a compromised immune system. That would lead to further mutations, possibly including hybrid strains if multiple RNA strains were transcribed in individual cells.
This would highlight the significance of isolating immune-compromised patients to prevent the emergence of were-whale-ants or the dreaded were-jackalope.
Fortunately, the global expert on were-immunology claims to have a plan to help humanity emerge from the were-crisis even stronger than we were before. Let us put our hope in Dr. Moreau.

Every day (mostly), like a sparkling word machine, we send a carefully chosen (and meticulously sourced) excerpt from fiction or letter, a short poem, provocative quotation, flash fiction, prose poem, interesting list, etc. by the best authors on the planet. A kind of commonplace book, one day...
