All possible phenotypes are not equally accessible to evolving populations.

At odds with a traditional view of molecular evolution that seeks a descent-with-modification relationship between functional sequences, new functions can emerge {\it de novo} with relative ease.

We consider a class of multiplicative processes which, added with stochastic reset events, give origin to stationary distributions with power-law tails -- ubiquitous in the statistics of social, economic, and ecological systems.

We conclude that uncoordinated changes in human behavior can, by themselves, explain major qualitative and quantitative features of the epidemic process, as the emergence of multiple waves and the tendency to remain around $R=1$ observed worldwide after the first few waves of COVID-19.

The time at which the growth in the number of infected individuals halts and starts decreasing cannot be calculated with certainty before the turning point is actually attained; neither can the end of the epidemic after the turning point.

Understanding how genotypes map onto phenotypes, fitness, and eventually organisms is arguably the next major missing piece in a fully predictive theory of evolution.

Pathogen transmission and virulence are main evolutionary variables broadly assumed to be linked through trade-offs.
