"Based on what we know of the virus that causes Covid-19, I believe we can expect the disease to return in waves each year. Long-lasting population or herd immunity like what we have for polio or the measles is not, in my opinion, a possibility for Covid-19, even with a vaccine. What we can expect instead is seasonal population immunity, with patterns of infection and reinfection that mirrors what we see with the flu. "

"Recent reports suggest that some of these variants have even recombined, forming a newer heavily mutated virus. This, in itself, is bad news. But the news could get much, much worse. Lab studies suggest the virus could become up to 640 times more transmissible than current strains. If a highly transmissible variant took hold in the US, all bets on bringing infections down to near zero would be off. If that variant was also more lethal — remember SARS-CoV-1 killed 50% of those aged 65 and older and MERS killed one out of three infected — the results would be catastrophic."

Why haven't people caught on yet that this is all supposed to be happening? This is the beginning of the end of the world.

Scientist have labored without success for nearly a century for a vaccine for the common cold. COVID is in the same family as the common cold. There is a school of thought that many viruses that trigger a harmless cold were at one time dangerous to humans but became beneign over time. It's had been observed those with Neanderthal DNA which includes White Europeans and some Asians have some degree of immunity to the virus's most severe effects. Evidently something similar to COVID is on the Rolodex of ancestral DNA.
