Enjoy Covid for the rest of your life....

An epidemiologist at University of Minnesota, (Osterhom) who predicted this pandemic in January stated he expected Covid to last the remainder of his life: He is 67. An actuary would pg that at almost 20 years. No first wave; no second wave; no third wave; no end.
He equated it to a forest fire and said that even when you put it out, the embers are still there. If he is right, this means, that the end of February 2020, was the end of life as we know it....forever, for some of us.
How long will you feel that living like we do now is "worth it"?
