5. Covid-19 evolution will not be stopped....

unless humans...individuals and governments...choose to stop it. The solutions aren't hard. The will to implement the solutions is the problem. And the problem isn't just increased communicability or evading current vaccines. Covid-19 isn't like Ebola, where the only place lethality can go is down. For Ebola to successfully replicate and spread in human populations, it has to become less lethal. Killing the host too quickly is an evolutionary dead end. Covid-19, at less than 1% lethality has a whole lot of room to play with in that regard and still successfully replicate and spread. THAT'S what scares the shit out of me.
