Hope it doesnt play out that way.
Too many people already effected, will feel the effects of lasting damage done by this virus (some of it permanent).
If this continues onwards, for the rest of our lifetimes, there will be very few "healthy" humans left, and lots of people with various forms of damaged health.

Which by the way always bugged me about the argument, that only old people and people with preexisting conditions will die from it. But if the COVID infection turns into a preexisting condition, then getting COVID means you might be more likely to die or get complications on the next illness, even if COVID doesn't kill you directly. This could lower overall life expectancy, if many people are affected.
