Could it be possible that we just end up dealing with covid forever like we do with the flu, except orders of magnitudes more severe and deadly?

You don't need Black Death level deaths for that to happen. The Spanish Flu pandemic burned out rather quickly.
I expect the end of covid will probably take more death the Spanish Flu, but probably closer to that than anything else. (We don't really know why the Spanish Flu ended so suddenly, but I'd expect being a flu played some role.)
