It won't be a pandemic forever but it likely will be with us for a long time (just as the H1N1 that caused the 1918 pandemic is still with us). We'll adapt. We'll add SARS-CoV-2 to our annual flu shots. Tens of thousands will still die from this every year as they do from what we call the "regular flu" - which is actually just mutations of that nasty 1918 strain.
