> Viruses mutate to be less deadly over time - they never mutate to be more deadly mostly but not always https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/01/120126224526.htm the UK mutation turned out to be more infectious and more deadly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineage_B.1.1.7#Virulence "it is estimated to be 40%–80% (with most estimates lying around the middle to higher end of this range)[a] more transmissible " "In a paper analysing twelve different studies on the B.1.1.7 death rate relative to non-B.1.1.7 lineages, it was found to have a higher death rate (71% according to LSHTM, 70% according to University of Exeter, 65% according to Public Health England, and 36% according to Imperial College London), and NERVTAG concluded that "it is likely that infection with VOC B.1.1.7 is associated with an increased risk of hospitalisation and death compared to infection with non-VOC viruses" tl:dr UK mutation is more infectious, more deadly, other scientists may disagree we are only in this shit now because tinfoil fuckards and niggers won't follow simple rules without crying, unlike China which appears to only have intermittent reinfections now
