Is that a chance you want to take? And for what gain?

No, there is no such chance. In the first place, a virus does not magically acquire DNA out of nowhere that causes it to infect people with a radically different disease. In the second place, there is a well-known genetic tradeoff between lethality and transmissibility in viruses. The literature on the subject is quite clear.
I am not taking any chance at all, because the chance of what benvoyonsdonc is describing is zero.
