COVID-19 has had an enormous effect on all of us; we must focus forward rather than backward. Even if we never forget this moment in our lives, we will eventually acclimatise to life as usual and be delighted to socialise, work, and participate in activities we had to forego during COVID-19. However, it entails some drastic measures, and everyone should ponder it.
Global pandemic
COVID-19 has impacted all of us, but it is critical that we look to the future and not backward, even though we will never forget this period in our lives. We will someday adjust to going back to normal and be happy to socialise, work and participate in activities we had to leave behind during COVID-19. However, it is best not to try and jump into doing everything we put off during these months, like medical appointments, a hair appointment, or buying new clothes for the season, as this will only worsen.
Hand washing and other preventative measures must be maintained, but social interaction must be re-established since life is essential.
What does the future of COVID look like?
SARS-CoV-2 is highly good at locating new patients and even infecting the vaccinated people. It is doubtful that this virus will ever be eliminated. To understand how SARS-CoV-2 spreads so swiftly, we must examine human behaviour.
SARS-CoV-2 is readily spread when people congregate
Public health measures, including employing face masks and social seclusion, have curbed the spread of sickness. If not properly executed, these public health efforts might have catastrophic consequences.
Many researchers believe that the virus that causes COVID-19 will become endemic. Despite our defeat, there is yet hope.
Our post-pandemic future will be heavily reliant on the virus's mutation. SARS-CoV-2 is still adapting to its new human host. Like the four coronaviruses that cause seasonal colds, the virus may become less hazardous with time.
Global vaccination campaigns will have the most significant impact on minimising new cases
A small percentage of people worldwide have been vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 thus far. Consequently, those who have been vaccinated are still susceptible to recurrence. Booster shots may likely be necessary to maximise the vaccine's protection.
The bottom line
We may declare SARS-CoV-2 endemic once infection rates stabilise. This change may seem different depending on where you are. Winter months may witness predictable COVID-19 increases in countries with high vaccination coverage and ample supply. Unexpected outbreaks may persist in areas with low vaccination rates.
