Good time to remind people that novel virus' may be deadly but are terrible at spreading to humans on their own (not evolved for it). Existing virus' evolve to be less deadly because there's zero evolutionary advantage to killing the host. That's why monthly Covid deaths never increased above the initial levels even as cases skyrocketted.

I keep telling people this. The masses have been preprogrammed with the idea of a virus both highly lethal and highly contagious, but nature doesn't work that way because if it dead everyone'd be dead already.
