The real news is you're probably gonna get it again. I think there are cases of reinfection in California but I could be wrong, heard someone mention it here.
I didn't know about the 9 months part. I was just thinking about the thing mutating and just going through this again but with people thinking it was no big deal because they recovered.
So yeah, there are two routes to that. Most other type corona viruses we have experience with have strong immunity on the order of nine months. So all the progress towards natural herd immunity will go away within an 18 month period as best we can tell.
Or, like you postulated. One good mutation, which is inevitable at some point, amd we get to do the dance again
So best case senario, when we get a vaccine set up and running, and widely distributed, it is an unknown and finite ammount of time before a new strain pops up. Just like how we get flu shots only without decades of instutional knowledge on how ro handle it.
Younger nephew asked how long before for covid is over I told him mostly likely it's not gonna end and go on for years. I feel bad for saying it like that and maybe there was a better way to say it but I really don't want to get his hopes up.

It looks like immunity lasts like nine months, however reinfection doesnt look like it is as bad.
However a new strain can restart that from square one, and with so many infections its getting lots of chances to mutate

This was really informative, thanks for explaining this. There is hope maybe.

There's already that Mink version. If it crosses over, we're back to square one I think.
Covid-19 will be endemic in the United States for at least the next decade without substantial intervention from the developed world.
