I think you may have missed my sarcasm, Sin. I don't find the scenario terribly reassuring.

Alas, even from a Darwinian perspective, this does nothing much for the human race, other than our ability to match the epitopes (protein markers) of the virus coat which will promptly change again until we don't recognize them. The people to die will be the young (not much selection there), the old (no selection at all, as they don't have children anymore), those in remote areas (hard to see what good that will do) and those in developing nations (ditto). It's all part of the meaningless carnage that is "Mother Nature" in action.
