There no evolutionary pressure for SARS 2 to become less lethal due to how it spreads and how and when it kills. Pinning your hopes on that is a fools errand #COVID19https://twitter.com/RealYeyoZa/status/1310523529939517443 …

It's not that the virus will change. The spanish flu virus remained unchanged until the fifties, the asian flu until late sixties. Yet both were less deadly in subsequent waves. It's our immune response that will change once it recognizes the virus after we've all been exposed.

New viruses are always more deadly, ask the narive americans after they first met Columbus and his crew. But it won't be new forever.

It's new because anyone getting infected is being exposed to it for the first time. Other people having been infected does nothing to make someone's first exposure less dangerous.

That doesn't decrease the mortality rate - it's a novel infection for every case - as much now as months ago.

Sure, but that's not a factor of the virus. Untreated it's still exactly as dangerous now as it was in March.
