Interesting, but cell culture results have only a tenuous link to what actually goes on in a human.

I think over time, accumulated mutations would favor the virus getting weaker. It is already an abnormally lethal coronavirus, so the accumulation of random mutations would tend to deviate to the mean, making it less lethal. But that is over a long period of time, probably longer than the 6 months we have been with this.
