Isn't there a concept tossed around that Viruses like this, as they flush thru society, they become, less lethal, in that the most robust virus strains kills off the (ie self limiting) host, and the weaker versions last longer, and therefore can spread farther?
A lot would depend on how fast it mutates.

All to mean, if you caught COVID from a person who succumbs, you might be at greater risk then from some one who recovers?


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
