Some questions:
What do we mean by mild?
Given what we know about long covid how do we know there isn't long term issues ? How long should we wait?
Given we have seen dangerous versions, is there a risk that mild will mutate to killer ? |

Op, there really is no need for capitals, it is as though you are shouting. Could I ask what you mean by 'common cold'? xx |

So you're happy to sacrifice everyone over 80? |

Theoretically speaking, no
There's no evolutionary advantage for a virus to mutate to a killer form that would kill its hosts and thus lead to its own demise. It will need to be infectious but not deadly in order to be able to 'stick around' for the forseeable future.

Agreed, there's little evolutionary advantage for a natural virus to mutate to a killer form that would kill its hosts and thus lead to its own demise.
If it were a lab-leaked virus, nobody knows how it will behave or has been engineered to behave.
I have no idea which it is. |

In the long run, maybe. But there's no intelligence behind mutations so it can get worse... As long as it can "duplicate" and move host before the old host dies.

Our rating: False
Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that viruses never mutate to become more lethal. Ebola, the West Nile virus and the Spanish flu from the 1918 pandemic are all examples of viruses that became more lethal after mutating, experts say. |

It's not a yes or no answer or even one we will make, that's down to the powers that be..
Perhaps email Chris Whitty etc..? |

Why would anyone think that it would end with a new variant? The old variants are still on the go.
It's not a very good question. |
