You miss the point entirely. Covid will never go away. This is not about a cough virus that affects .2% of 80 year olds
No, but the people who are most susceptible to it will go away. That has been the net result of every pandemic in the history of mankind.
On thing that has changed is that we have several effective treatments for Covid that can save all but the most severely ill - if the treatments are started early enough.
On the other hand, the political authorities have had a taste of absolute power to control the lives of others by inspiring fear of the epidemic. They won't permit effective treatments because that would diminish their power.
The authorities are not going to give up their new-found powers voluntarily or peacefully.
