Probable or possible? It would seem incredibly hard to wipe out from a layman’s position. Even if severely abated it could still come back, no?

I think it was a very low transmission rate and the lock down, social distance, mask and other measures against covid-19 reduced the transission below 1, so the amount of infected people got to 0. If it's only hosted in humans (I think yes) and does not survive too long outside a person (I think less than 1 day), it's possible that it got wipped out. > Even if severely abated it could still come back, no? I'm not sure if it was a strange mutation or a combination of a human virus with a virus of other animal. It's possible that the same even ocurs again an we get a very similar new variant. But new dangerous variants appera slow enough to be happy that one of them has gone. Almost relevant xkcd https://xkcd.com/2306/ https://xkcd.com/2306/
