It’s not really a surprise anymore. If you have a large gathering of people, someone is going to bring Covid to the party. That’s our world now because we couldn’t stay home for two weeks.

Yup, it's no longer a pandemic, it is now endemic.

Humanity lost the war. Collectively, we were not good enough. Now covid is here to stay forever like the common cold and flu are.

But covid may have yet to be understood long term impacts. Some are interpreting the data like that of HIV before we understood it could progress into AIDS because the disease has not been around long enough.
