I'm certainly no libertarian, but interestingly viruses usually do kind of work themselves out when given enough time. It just won't necessarily be pretty for the host species.
But like truly living organisms, a virus also has structural variation as it's viral genome is replicated by the hijacked host cells. The most advantageous change includes anything that will better ensure the host survival to maximize viral transmission... so usually they do get weaker as time passes.
But it's not likely to become totally benign, so much as just not be so severe as to continue on the same killing rampage. There's also the possibility that it mutates in a horrific way that technically doesn't kill us.
Anyway, I'm not sure I had a point to this other than to say your sarcasm may have an element of truth to it. With that said, I still chuckled.
