- timr 5y agoWhich is obviously a colloquialism, and has nothing to do with the meaning of the question. Will the virus become endemic and be a common illness? Yes. Focusing on the "common cold" is a way of making the question about severity, which is clearly not the intent.

- timr 5y agoIt's a digression to make an ideological argument about the severity of Covid, and imply that it cannot therefore be endemic. A "severe" disease can indeed be endemic, and the "common cold" actually kills a substantial number of people every year. They're completely orthogonal concepts.
