I get that, but the effort to develop that is much more than the effort it would take to get two superpowers crazy about attacking each other with currently available weapons.
Why you gotta shit on my dream, bro?

You know when I worry? When my spirit guide asks me to hook up my tv again 
I always wanted to see a megaton explosion IRL too, but at a test site, not all the way around.
If our fate is to die for the sake of further evolution, I think it will be through disease.
I'm not sure nuclear war would effecively wipe out humanity.
If the US, Russia, China, the UK and France would have their fiësta, Africa nor South America nor Australia would even be hit.
Not shitting on your dream, just thinking practically about it.
Having a megaton nuke go off over my city with me almost directly underneath it is incidentally one of my preferred ways to go.
Instantaneous severing of all molecular bonds of my body.
ahh bliss.

In China, if you lose 20 billion, you get shot.
In America, if you lose 20 billion, the government gives you another 20 billion.

While treating thier citizens like 1984 shit, it truely is a feat.
--------------------
“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.”

There’s not much chance mutations within the human population will result in a more virulent virus

Should trend the other way but there is an element of randomness
The shit seems to jump fairly easily between a variety of mammals. This could cause problems.

Exact opposite. Mutations within humans will tend to make the virus more virulent, but less deadly.

In the context of this pandemic it don't seem right, but previous to Covid-19 I've heard it used that way.

Viruses are designed to replicate and expand.
Killing the host is directly antithetical to that, and becoming less transmissible is directly antithetical to that. That's why Ebola wasn't really a big issue back when it had a 95% mortality rate: Everybody that got sick dies too quickly to spread the virus. The Ebola outbreak a little while back only had like a 40% mortality rate, which is why it suddenly became a big deal. Instead of immediately wiping out a family or a village, carriers survived longer and spread the disease further.
Over time, viruses that are limited to a single organism evolve to be more transmissible and less deadly.
Part of the danger with zoonotic viruses is that the native host (bats for covid) might be fairly resistant to the virus itself, making them excellent vectors for transmission, while us humans don't have a built up resistance to the virus yet, and die in large numbers.

Virulence refers to the level of pathology caused by a virus (or any diseases causing agent or poison)
Infectivity refers to the ability of a virus to cause infection

I think that was what the poster was trying to say. It has evolved to infect more readily.
And being a virus, it will likely evolve around the vaccine and need an annual COVID vaccine like a flu shot.

that is because china is a far superior country to America. Most Americans are lazy cry babys who think the world owes then everything. Then our leaders are weak old white dudes who should be in a nursing home. It dont help there is more racism in America than any other place in the world.
I pray to god America gets ivaded by China it would be the best thing to ever happen to this poor country.
