Covid-19 will not just disappear
[[Coronavirus]].
Because
- Only one human infectious disease has been eradicated from the planet β smallpox β and that took nearly 200 years
- Polio is near to extinction, but it has taken a 70-year campaign
- Covid-19 may be even more troublesome
- Unlike those viruses, Covid-19 has been able to easily adapt to find its way around human immunity (whether from infection or vaccination) so that it can survive.
- Omicron, or its progeny, will probably be with us for decades to come.
