Isn't it likely that, as time goes on, that the most successful mutations will result in a virus that is more transmissible, but causes milder (non-fatal) illness? If I remember my evolutionary theory correctly, this combination would result in the most favorable set of characteristics for any parasitic entity (i.e., "don't kill the host").
