    Yeah, probably. Best hope is that vaccination and antivirals keep the death and hospitalization rate down while everyone gets exposed, and that selection favors more easily transmissible but less dangerous variants over time. We may eventually get to a point where the descendants of SARS-COV-2 are just another source of common colds. Of course, things could go the other way, too.
