What do you really actually think the future looks like with COVID?

This topic was a request from a paid subscriber I need to disclaimer this a little. I am not an epidemiologist, and I have been wrong about COVID before. (See my TED talk) I have failed in my predictions both by being too optimistic and by being too pessimistic. My best guess is just that - a guess. And I am writing this in Spring 2022, in a time where COVID is constantly evolving and we’re constantly learning new things about COVID. New medical treatments, new information about how it affects the body. We’re also advancing the science all the time - learning about the virus itself.
Yeah, this is exactly what's happening now, except that a LOT of people - including middle class and fairly wealthy - are getting infected or re-infected because they haven't figured out the whole fear of long COVID thing. (And our societies are willy-nilly throwing away mask requirements; it's wholly bizarre to me, but you know why it's bizarre to me, aka, high risk.) (Speaking of that, my own risk factor comes from a viral "complication" in the first place, so ... yeah.)
