I'm sad to say that your comment just reads as "I don't like that fact and it bothers me that others acknowledge it".
> WHO put out an estimate a couple of weeks ago that 750 million people worldwide could have been infected. And yet the IFR keeps going down. I'm gonna estimate the odds of it turning into airborne ebola at this point at 0%.
This statement is just purely ignorant and wrong.
Several covid19 strains have already been identified, including a particular strain that brought changes to the virus that greatly increases their spread rate, to the point that since it's appearance it outspread and became the world's leading strain
Counterfactual unfalsifiable claptrap. Perhaps. Perhaps not. I wouldn't be certain either way.

WHO put out an estimate a couple of weeks ago that 750 million people worldwide could have been infected. And yet the IFR keeps going down. I'm gonna estimate the odds of it turning into airborne ebola at this point at 0%.
