Did you mean dominant?
If so that's why our government is funding the University of Oxford and it's what our VMIC has been set up for.
Vaccine variants to tackle such possibilities.

It seems that all expectations are for the virus to get stronger. ??
WHY?
Surely it is possible that a virus can evolve the other way and
become weaker? Weak enough that it ensures it's survival by
being unobtrusive and non threatening to the human race??
In other words, live with us but not against us??
Why is this not possible is my question ??

I think the virus will be weaker overall with the rollout of the vaccine. Good point DM.

But the effect would be the same !
The only thing being different would be that the virus, quite by
chance happened to evolve it's self into a less viralent form entirely
by itself???
I just thought it would sod up all the plans Big Pharma are
making to get rich quick ??
Surely a virus can evolve in more than one way??

As a clue though I will tell you that the common cold is a virus, quite similar in many ways to Covid.
Influenza is a virus too and there are many others.
Colds haven't yet evolved to stop us suffering from their infection and neither has influenza.
Influenza still kills every year.
How long would you like to give these viruses to see if one day they adapt in the way you hope?

Some virus steains are too strong, in that it kills the host so quick the virus hasn't got the chance to spread.
Those strains that infect you, grow in you and are able to spread to new hosts are the most advantageous for a parasitic species. They are the real trouble. The host getting sick is a side effect from the point of view of any virus.
You can compare it with more developed parasites, worms living in your intestines e.g. Children spread them, infecting and re-infecting one another. The host hardly has any problem and the parasite spreads and spreads.

If you need more then you're in the wrong place; you need an educational establishment and not an internet forum.
If you can't understand these things that's not my fault.
