I don't quite understand why "more infectious but less lethal" is better than "less infectious but more lethal" -- both mean that lots of people are going to die.

Even with the earlier estimates of how infectious it is, it seems quite likely that a large proportion of the population is likely to catch it sooner or later. If that is so, then the less lethal it is, the better.
