One possible good future - move out to rural area - work remote - change jobs more easily in a truly global labor market - fewer but longer drives with autonomous cars - 24/7 delivery drones - socialize online & in VR Physical social distancing, digital social networking?
unfortunately this conventional reasoning doesn’t necessarily hold here because the contagiousness is well before the lethality. so contagiousness and lethality no longer compete evolutionarily to the same extent

The big driver of transmission is asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic spread, since people who are very ill tend to self-isolate out of necessity. If lethality went up significantly, there'd probably be less of a window for asymptomatic spread.

I don't follow the logic here. The severity of the disease is all concentrated in the period have the maximum infectiousness. That could get worse without effecting the previous stages much.
