Actually it doesn't make any direct difference to the virus whether you die. Covid deaths occur after the virus has gone from your body, and even if it didn't you'd probably be in ICU where it wouldn't have much chance to spread.. Transmission occurs much earlier, while you are still out and about.
However, if it
reported that it is less deadly, people will be less cautious, which does help the virus. Isn't evolution brilliant?
