  Yes. Ebola, for example, requires direct contact with the body fluids of an infected person. It also kills a high double-digit percentage of everyone who gets it. This makes eradicating it entirely both more feasible and much more important than a respiratory disease that can be caught just by being in the same room as someone with no symptoms, and that causes mild or even no symptoms in most people who get it. Covid-19 just doesn't have characteristics that make eliminating it entirely look like a feasible option.
