The world post covid

 Assuming there is a post covid that is. 

Which looks difficult from where we are. Would it become like a common cold? Or would it be like smallpox before it was eradicated? 

A constant threat, taking away your loved ones. 

I had always believed that the end of mankind will be from viruses. The same way we have made so many species extinct because they couldnt evolve fast enough compared to our destruction of their habitat. So scientifically it makes sense that our extinction from a virus will follow the same pattern. Abundant population, the virus mercilessly keeps killing, until the population becomes too less for the virus to happily propogate. Then it may do some half assed measures to save humankind? But in the end will watch in horror as the last of the once-abundant species dies. 

I also head a contrary belief in my head that when the end comes it will be swift. Apocalypse, asteroid hits that kind of thing. I hadnt imagined a slow drawn out match where we are losing a few at a time. Its certainly far more painful and far more likely. 

I guess its the same concept with an individual's death too. Mostly slow and drawn out until it is over one day. Its in a few cases that its swift/instant. 

Wow not where I expected this post to go but here we are. The end. Slow, drawn out and unsatisfying.
