It only becomes less deadly if there's pressure for it to become less deadly.

Assume that current-SARS2 and deadly-SARS2 are infecting some people. Both spread asymtomatically, presymptomatically, and within the first few days of symptomatic cases "feeling under the weather". Two weeks in, the former yeets 10% into the hospital and the latter 50%.

Neither strain is impacted or selected for (since intra-hospital transmission to the healthy would be minor and both have already done most of their spreading early on).
