    @termitehead: As I understand it, the odds are low. You might get a virus that could conceiveably have been a super plague under normal circumstances but the next generation of viruses wouldn't be the superplague.


    Or you are pretty much giving the virus a viral equivalent of cancer.


    I'm not actually sure.
