But it will "go on for years" no matter what we do. The virus is endemic now.

  There is a difference between occasional outbreaks and perpetual death tolls, even if technically the virus is still about in both cases

    Sooner or later you have to open the borders and restart economies. After doing which you get unlimited rides on this pony.

      Maybe you don't have to open the borders. We can have a functional economy without the average person getting in planes and moving around the world. It is enough for essential staff and cargo to move around the world. No reason why that shouldn't work and we can't all make money. We will just be making money doing different things in different ways with different norms. Mother's day? Restaurant? Nah. What should we order from uber eats? Who delivers flowers. Etc. Gap year? Let's travel in the same country / same state, and go deeper rather than wider.

        No thanks. That sounds miserable. I'd rather take my chances with the virus.
