Wasn't there news about how as a virus mutates over time it becomes less severe, but more transmissible? Something about where the virus just wants its host to live long enough to transmit the virus to someone else so it can continue passing its genetic data over. It seems like Omicron could be following this pattern.
If you have too severe of a virus, then all its hosts are killed and it can't live on. Too weak of a virus and the host's immune systems will kill it before it has a chance to transmit.
