i agree but this is not the case for all pathogens. i think it makes sense for coronaviruses and others that can not live outside the live host, but we know of other viruses that can and that retain their deadliness.
Which "viruses" are capable of surviving without a host? None. So how do they retain their "deadliness"?
ebola, rabies last longer than covid
again, the point is there are some viruses that do NOT become less deadly over time.
They kill quickly, so no, they don't last longer. But I'm out, again, you are free to believe what you want.
Show me where "Rabies" or "Ebola" became more deadly. They didn't because they killed those who had them, without time to spread, which is exactly as expected. No pathogen in the history of modern medicine has mutated into a deadlier strain, except some strains of antibiotic resistant bacteria, due to overusage of antibiotics, because it is an organism like all others, which strives to survive. Killing off your host quickly is the route to extinction. A "novel" coronavirus (one of thousands of common colds) can be this, that or other, depending on the day's narrative, a narrative that so many are choking down without using brain or hundreds of years of medical history.
the point was, again, some do not become LESS deadly
