Viruses are inherently self-limiting. If they are deadly, they don't spread; if they spread, they are not deadly. The less deadly they are, the wider they spread. The exception is when you have forced conditions, such as existed in the trenches of the First World War, which incubated the flu-from-hell virus. Once in the wild it quickly declined in deadliness. This basic fact about the nature of viruses is the big stumbling block the psychopaths have when they try to make a bio-weapon with a 90+ percent kill rate.
