I would love to be done with it, but I don't think that's the case. We will continue to have these peaks and valleys for many years to come, and some of the peaks could end up being quite serious. Because of the fact that covid is most contagious before you have symptoms, it's certainly possible to get a very serious, very contagious mutation making its way through the world.
That being said though, I don't think we can or should continue to live in a heightened state of awareness for years to come. Humans are social creatures and will seek that out, no matter what, so people will follow restrictions about gathering less and less. We need to allow people to enjoy the valleys and get a break in between outbreaks.
And if improved ventilation will help with covid, why the hell is this not the biggest priority behind vaccination??? Look at the effects that clean water has had on reducing water-borne diseases.
