Is this pandemic permanent?

Yes, unfortunately it will be here, I am guessing for at least the next 5 to 10 years.  But I am only making a guess, and my answer should not be taken as fact.

Why am I making a guess of 5 to 10 years?  Because I am thinking one of two things.  First, my opinion is that the virus will just be here, and no matter how many people get vaccinated, the virus will continue to be here.  It will diminish on its own.

My second thought is that eventually enough people are going to get infected, knowingly or unknowingly, and again the virus over time will diminish.

I recently had "cold like symptoms" stuffy nose, regular cough, but then I got chills 4 days later and thought chills aren't normally associated with a cold.  At least for me personally.  So I went and got tested.  The way I feel right now, is tired, and no appetite.  I eat no breakfast, I'll have one sandwich for lunch, and nothing for dinner.  Never lost taste or smell, although breathing through my nose is weird, as it smells like rubber on and off all day long.

So whatever this is that I got, is more than a common cold.  But things are slowly returning to normal, and I'm hoping eventually I'll be back to being me again.

But to be honest, I do see a timeframe of at least 5 to 10 years for the virus being here.  I hope I'm wrong about it, because everything about this just plain sucks.

Not permanent but it will last for several years.  Luckily the idiots in the government are starting to see that we are done with this "stay in your houses away from everyone" crap of the past year.

I believe that nothing will be permanent.These viruses were earlier there in a less danger form and I believe as the time passes our body will be immune to this virus too.

The faster that everybody gets a vaccine the better it'll stop new strains from developing. We may need to stay on top of vaccinating for this disease for 3 years.


But the sooner everybody gets busy the faster it will be over

Provides a cloak for the evildoers to round up all the politically incorrect and send them off to the Guantanamo Gulag, oops, Critical Race Theory Re-education Camp.
