AFAIK is also isn't super contagious, less opportunity for it to evolve

It’s super contagious in the reservoir species. But it’s not in humans. The point made above was about age if the pathogen not infectiousness.

But it isn't very lethal in that species, is it? In the species that it spreads rapidly in, it likely won't be very lethal which was the point
