29. Natural immunity?

Natural selection and evolution work on both viruses and humans.

A virus that kills its host quick has little chance of being passed on, but weaker strains where sick people will just 'carry on' and spread it around, do much better.

Conversely, very young children, the immuno-compromised and elderly might die from a weaker strain, but that is a small price to pay, right?
Culling of the herd, and all that. /s

Get vaccinated folks!
Not just for this one, but for all the viruses lurking out there.
It's a war zone - just on a very small scale.
