The COVID-19 virus could become endemic, meaning it will persist in a less fearsome mode like the flu or common cold. But that might not happen until 2024.
Researchers studied infection rates in rats and modeled possible paths for the COVID-19 virus.
Zeiss said that some people develop better immunity after an infection, but we still need vaccinations which are standardized and offer reliable rates of immunity. Yale reports, “With both vaccination and natural exposure, the population accumulates broad immunity that pushes the virus toward endemic stability.”
In the meantime, the virus will constantly circulate, and certain populations will remain more vulnerable to it. “We can’t assume that once we reach the endemic state that everybody is safe,” Zeiss said.
