Covid-19 will never become an endemic illness and will always behave like an epidemic virus, an expert in biosecurity has warned.

I need to stop looking at this shit, it doesn’t help :doomer:

Somewhat relatedly, what this tweet’s is suggesting is sobering. From the replies:

The image says that infection waves will come faster and faster as time proceeds, that variants will multiply faster and faster and eventually this leads to entropy (utter chaos). In your real life situation it will mean constant infection with multiple variants of SARS-COV-2.

I’m gonna have a drink, I think.

    I'd say it's inevitable that it eventually becomes like the flu based on historical accounts of other pandemics. To think otherwise would be to assume this new coronavirus has some particularly extraordinary properties when it comes to new mutations and such, and it doesn't seem like it does, at least I'm not familiar with such theories.

    You're right that it could last for a while longer but I'm kinda hoping this year is the last really serious one.
