This virus is so bad that it is making whole countries take quarantine measures. That's probably not optimal for spreading itself.

  Evolution doesn't care directly about spreading. Just about survival and this virus is currently at no danger of being eradicated by measures in effect.

    More spreading means more survival. A virus that we could reasonably live with would have more surviving copies than this one.

      If you can infect all hosts you can't do better. And I think this virus can, even being twice as lethal as it is.
