Viruses tend to just grow weaker over time. A virus that kills its host is not able to spread easily.

They don’t get weaker, we get stronger by catching it and learning it and fighting it naturally. By trying to contain it (lol when has playing God ever worked out for anyone. When will these fools learn??), you’re essentially just allowing it to wreak havoc for longer. Let’s all orgy with Trump and Melania and covid would be over tonight

Edit since mr know it all things he knows everything. The flu gets stronger every year and quickly mutates. Hepatitis isn’t getting any weaker. Meningitis is super uncommon but shows zero signs of weakening or “dying out”. AIDS turned into super aids. Viruses tend to grow stronger over time if anything, not weaker.

Viruses absolutely do get weaker overtime. A viral strain that is too deadly is not able to spread efficiently. If the host is killed they obviously cannot spread the virus. That's natural selection. More deadly strains die out, while weaker strains successfully propagate.

Bubonic plague and Ebola have entered the chat. Lol like did you wipe your ass and your comment showed up on the toilet paper?

The bubonic plague was a problem when people's idea of hygiene was to shit in a bucket and toss it out of the window.

Ebola was contained in a few areas in Africa.

u/Vivadiscordia is right and your examples don't disprove what he said.

Uhh the flu literally mutates stronger every year.

Meningitis will fuck your shit up

Hepatitis also entered the chat.

AIDS turned into super aids.
