Although I'm not sure I entirely agree with the timeline (it could easily take another 6-12mo) I think @eliowa is bang on the money here. COVID-19 may well be a seasonal endemic disease by this time 2023*

Sure, but there are many places in the world that won't be able to vaccinate significant swathes of their population in the short term, with insufficient transmission to halt a new epidemic. Depends mostly on what we mean by "many places"!

Understand but 1918/1919 ended without a vaccine. They may have a rougher winter 20/21 but even that may not happen. I’m just pushing back on the doom/gloom about variants etc. winter was going to stink but spring will come

I'm trying not to be gloom and doom but I do think this is pretty different to 18/19 in many ways. I hope you're right but I can see it taking a bit longer too!
