    I did a search and the articles I found suggested that it will eventually become less deadly and more of a common cold type illness; do you have any links to pieces that have a less optimistic outlook?

      It will definitely evolve to become less deadly over time, but I haven't seen anyone estimate how long that might take. Are we talking a few years, or many decades? No idea.

        There is no evolutionary incentive for it to evolve to become less deadly. That pressure simply doesn't exist. You can see how stable it is here: https://nextstrain.org/ncov/global
