- While COVID-19 may become endemic like the flu, there are plenty of promising treatments in development that will speed up recovery and reduce complications, making the disease a lot more manageable than it is right now.

The novel coronavirus threat remains even if your community may have loosened lockdown restrictions in the past few days, attempting to return to some sense of normalcy. The curve may have been flattened in some countries and regions, but the virus isn’t going anywhere. As long as there are people carrying the virus, COVID-19 will not just disappear. The only way it can be eradicated would be with the help of a global mandatory vaccination campaign, but that would be a logistical nightmare. And that that assumes vaccines will actually work, because we have no guarantees for the time being. Also, it’s unclear how long COVID-19 immunity will last and how likely it is for patients who survived the disease or were inoculated with a viable vaccine to be reinfected in the future. In other words, COVID-19 is here to stay, and that’s exactly what the WHO had to say about the new disease.
