Forgive me, but this is something I could easily read in The Sun. It's an obvious, throwaway thought.

It mutates like any other virus, and is less infectious that most that cause little trouble to businesses worldwide. In fact, a large number of companies depend on their very existence.

It's a moving target, which means that the solutions need to move/change too. Sounds like an opportunity.
