Yup. Also consider the following Socratic dialogue:
A: “Viruses evolve be to be less virulent over time because it’s not advantageous to kill your host”
B: “Viruses don’t always do that”
A: “Fair enough. But it’s also not adaptive for viruses to be so bad that they cause societies to shut down completely”
I think one could argue that this is exactly what’s unfolding with Omicron.
