Time has rendered them less harmful because we have better tools to deal with them. Malaria can be defeated with money (hence it is mostly a poor persons problem), HIV is no longer a death sentence, we have decent treatment for Tuberculosis and it is no longer the problem for Europe it once was. Probably the same could happen to covid, assuming that the we could stop seeing testing treatments for covid as a political issue and strictly keep it as a discussion of science.
