#1 As a number of us said or asked a year ago about the VAX. Is it long lasting, will it cover various new strains ... or will be like a seasonal FLU shot differnt every season?

Given the C-19 seems to breed in all climates and conditions... we could looking at shots or boostets every 4-6 months.

Plus NO ONE is 100% sure of the long term affects of the VAX yet. Now add repeated booster shots to the question?

#4 One India just reported yesterday that the now consider Covid endemic, which it seems to me should imply an end to shutdowns and mandatory masking as pointless.

#6 My educated opinion is that COVID-19 will mutate into a highly contagious and not very fatal coronavirus similar to the run of the mill coronaviruses the human race has been living with (and occasionally dying from) for a very long time now.

#7 This virus will live as long as people give it life(it will always be a part of us). I as well as many others choose to ignore it and live on. I had thought people were better educated. In the short time Biden has been in power it is obvious many haven't got a clue on how to do anything correctly. Gird your loins as this nightmare will live on for many years.
