Interesting. I wonder if there’s a difference between ebola and coronaviruses in this regard then (whether ebola is more probable to develop deadlier mutations than coronaviruses do).

I remember around 2020 many expert commentators (the term has suffered inflation since then) were saying that when the coronavirus mutates, it often becomes less deadly.

Interestingly, some virus mutations make the virus worse, not easier to spread. Here's another example using Ebola. While for the victims it becomes far more lethal, for spread the virus becomes easier to contain due to its speed of burnout.

Yeah.. I don’t wanna make this a covid discussion again, but I remember when the 2nd wave came in summer/autumn 2020 while the restrictions and mandates just intensified, I knew something didn’t add up..
