I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm saying it can't be simply assumed to make an unrelated point about case fatality rate. If you want to cite me a study showing a separate, weaker strain of COVID-19 that explains how the CFR is much lower than we think you need to show me the actual science, not just assert that it exist.

Because the obvious hypothesis is that it's one disease and one outbreak and the CFR is what we measure and not something else.

Different hypotheses are obvious to different people. You're hearing one of the scariest ones - partly because it's great business for the media and political industries, and partly because it supports the belief that we can accurately measure an in-progress epidemic of this kind with our modern technology. Here are some very experienced folks with less-scary "obvious" hypotheses:
