Why Covid is here to stay and Why You Shouldn't Worry About It
This reads like a considered explanation of how respiratory viruses have behaved and evolved in the past. I was particularly interested in how the various strains of "common cold" viruses are likely remnants from earlier Covid like novel virus outbreaks that jumped from animals to humans and over time lost their lethality due to natural processes at the individual and population levels. The author believes that we are in the waning stages of Covid-19's pandemic phase, and that Covid-19 will in time become yet another "common cold" virus as the human population adapts to it.
