viruses become less virulent with time (this is called attenuation) viruses are deadly or widespread, never both viruses go extinct all the time the primary virus strategy is to evade the host's immune system, not to kill the host the real problem for the us government here is not that it was this exact sars2 strain that came out of the wuhan lab, it is that they weren't supposed to be doing these types of experiments in the first place debating viral country of origin and/or intent distracts from the real crime, which is they weren't supposed to be doing these types of experiments in the first place this is what rand paul keeps pointing out we will never know the original sars2 sequence from the patient zero in wuhan b/c the chinese won't give up their samples for sequencing
