When you hear that a pandemic virus is mutating, you feel ___ about its impact on humanity

i'm curious bc i see lots of discussions of mutations by virologists on twitter, but i don't see any "more afraid" responses. i could be very wrong, but from what i can tell from virology 101, it's not uncommon for viruses mutate towards being less fatal (to optimize for spread).
