The current pandemic COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is caused by 2019-nCoV (2019 novel coronavirus). You just learned about the transmission rate hypothesis for the evolution of pathogen virulence and the power of natural selection. Which of the following statements may go through your mind?
-
For individuals infected with a more virulent viral strain, each cough is likely to contain more virus particles when compared to individuals who are infected with a less virulent strain. Therefore, uninfected individuals will have a higher chance of being infected when encountering the droplets from individuals infected with a more virulent strain.
-
However, individuals infected with a more virulent viral strain is likely to get sick sooner and show severer symptoms, thus will have less time being out and about when compared to individuals infected with a less virulent viral strain.

If there is no public health measures on social distancing to prevent congregation,…
