I think the second reason “against” is probably the only true argument that my hypothesis is wrong.
The first reason still doesn’t prevent the disease burden after covid/any new pathogen spilled into humans from being appreciably bigger than the disease burden before the event.
The third reason is of course about interventions, which can go...many ways.
I didn’t raise it in my original question but I wondered if this hypothesis applied to non-human species, which would still be a pretty interesting problem since it might impose a limit to the propagation of any species (as it collects more different kinds of pathogens overtime and need to contend with them).
