Yeah, we all talked about that on this forum way back when. Seems like forever ago, though. That's what probably happened to the cold -- it probably was quite lethal whenever it first crossed into humans. Same with flu -- as bad as it sometimes is, for most of us it's not a big deal. The difference, though, is that none of those diseases had a cure when they first appeared in humans. This one does. So while yeah, if we just live and die with this for the next however many years it takes for it to get milder, I guess it might, though given we don't yet know its origin it could get worse, too. Delta was worse. Omicron might be milder if preliminary reports out of South Africa stay true. But this is also so highly contagious that even though a very low percentage die of it given the sheer numbers of people who are still getting it and have gotten it, it's a real killer and disabler. I'm for not giving any hint of acceptance and using the vaccines we're so lucky to have and masking and social distancing as we should have done from the onset and maybe we can establish a new precedent where so many fewer people have to suffer needlessly. We'll see.
