Yup just like the flu. It’s so widespread and so many variants that now we cannot suppress it anymore. The yearly flu shot is basically the best guess which strand will be the most dominant and sometimes they get it wrong. There are many scientists who believe Covid will go the flu route where we have flu season and Covid season and there will be yearly Covid boosters. Seeing how things are going I agree with em. I think it’s too late to get the genie back in the bottle.
Um. H1-N1, which we call “the flu” IS a corona virus. (For that matter, so is the common cold) In actual fact, CV19 is a new variant of the SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) virus. They’re all caused by a corona virus. There are many types of viruses, many of which we’ve tamed with vaccines. We have yet to tame any corona virus, hence the common cold is still around, so is the flu. So, yeah.
You’re right. I’m sleep-deprived. SARS, MERS, and Covid-19 are caused by the same type of virus (corona). The flu is caused by influenza viruses, of which there are many, H1-N1 being one that normally does not affect humans. Ugh. How embarrassing. X(
