Yep... it will continue to mutate and we will always have some SARS-CoV-2, as is the case with the flu.
SARS-CoV-2 will probably mutate over time to become less virulent but more transmissible. Vaccines and immune system adaptation will allow most of us to not worry about COVID too much until our later years in life, much like the flu.
COVID will continue to cause some deaths, but at a much lower level which is generally acceptable, as is the case with the flu.
- mckirk 5y agoThe flu mutates at a way faster rate, though. If the current pandemic was caused by an influenza virus, you'd have a whole lot more strains to worry about. We're only seeing 'this many' Covid variants, because right now it has so many hosts to work with. Whether through vaccination or infection, that will change over time however.
