They key phrase in your comment is “sufficiently lethal”, and COVID ain’t.
Yet! But “the ~90% of the world that haven’t been infected yet won’t spawn lethal variants” is the kind of expert prediction that I can buy. :)
On what data do you base the estimate that 90% of the world population haven’t been infected by the novel coronavirus by now?
I googled “covid cases worldwide” for ~3% and thought “probably a bunch of cases are never tested”. Do you think even more people have been infected?
In US, the CDC estimates 145 million infections to date, which is close to 45% of population.
