Reply to comment by SpringChikn85 in Boston University researchers claim to have developed new, more lethal COVID strain in lab - Researchers at Boston University added a spike protein from the Omicron variant with the original Wuhan strain, which has an 80% kill rate (in certain mice) by izumi3682

If I've learned anything from Plague Inc its that making a disease more deadly can hurt your chances of wiping out the world. If people are dying before they can transmit it to others then it burns out before it can go full worldwide threat level.
