Perhaps what we’re witnessing is Covid establishing itself in the population and several years from now it will just be a fifth coronavirus known to cause common cold
I am fully expecting this.

Even the common cold human coronaviruses are hard on the elderly.

See 2018 paper about a nursing home in Louisiana that had a coronavirus NL63 outbreak that hospitalized 6 of 20 residents and killed 3 of the 20: Severe Respiratory Illness Outbreak Associated With Human Coronavirus NL63 in a Long-Term Care Facility

From a 2007 paper:

quote:

HCoV-NL63 and HCoV-HKU1 were identified shortly after the SARS-CoV outbreak. The 4 human coronaviruses HCoV-229E, HCoVOC43, HCoV-NL63 and HCoV-HKU1 cause mild respiratory illnesses when compared to SARS, but these infections are involved in 10 – 20 % of hospitalizations of young children and immunocompromised adults with respiratory tract illness.


Probably what SARS 2.0 will end up being in the long-term, though we aren't necessarily seeing it in young children.

That’s good stuff.

It really does suck to have to deal with it in the moment but it really can’t be argued that there is no better time in human history to be alive trying to deal with something like this.

I wish it wasn’t so damned politicized in this country but C’est la vie
