Covid-19 will not just disappear

[[Coronavirus]].

Because

• Only one human infectious disease has been eradicated from the planet – smallpox – and that took nearly 200 years
• Polio is near to extinction, but it has taken a 70-year campaign
• Covid-19 may be even more troublesome
• Unlike those viruses, Covid-19 has been able to easily adapt to find its way around human immunity (whether from infection or vaccination) so that it can survive.
• Omicron, or its progeny, will probably be with us for decades to come.
