This virus readily spreads before people get symptoms, and some people are asymptomatic but contagious. There is no evolutionary pressure for Covid-19 to become less severe (killing the host occurs well after spread to others), and much evolutionary pressure to become more infectious. That’s how Covid has been playing out for a while now.It’s not a statement but rather a fact called evolution. Study any viral pandemic from history and you have your answer. Here is one of thousands of experts on the subject: https://news.northeastern.edu/2021/12/13/virus-evolution/
Expecting otherwise (and believing in herd immunity to a rapidly mutating highly transmissible coronavirus) seems like wishful thinking to me.
