3. Big question is will Covid go the way of Spanish Flu, SARS and MIRS, or will it become the 2nd Flu that we have to deal with indefinitely.
The truth is we don't know answers to any of that yet, but the data for the vaccine is promising and it does work in the short term (3-4 months at least). It's a complete different type of virus than the flu so I wouldn't guess the pattern will be that similar, but doesn't mean it won't linger. This virus has broken a lot of expected norms already.
