Covid-19 will not just disappear

[[Coronavirus]].

Because

  • Only one human infectious disease has been eradicated from the planet – smallpox – 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.
