I thought I read that a virus that kills people is actually less successful than a virus that does not. If you kill your host, you die too. So a more successful virus is one that can replicate easier and not kill its hosts. Its goal is not to kill, but to flourish.
True (and of course these aren't sentient beings that are making decisions that are actually best for themselves) but speaking generally, the more successfully a virus replicates the more detrimental it will be to the host (necessarily, because the resources it takes from the host to replicate become more taxing).
