If so, then it's a pathetic one. SARS and MERS are also in the Coronavirus family (MERS was originally named Coronavirus-2012), and both had FAR higher fatality rates (11% and 37% respectively)... Covid-19 is around 2.8%. Are you saying the China is bio-engineering Coronaviruses to be less fatal? Making them safer for all mankind?

Get back to me in five years or so and we can compare numbers. If you’re right, I’ll buy you a drink...
Between now and then, don’t put words in my mouth, and I won’t call you an arsehole.
More disruptive to overload hospitals and cause permanent pulmonary damage in living people than to kill them outright and quickly.
