As sam-2727 says, this would be the dream scenario - the Unicorn that will lead us back to normal. My hope is that Covid would become cold/flu like and anything suggesting this is VERY good news. Particularly if it remains responsive to vaccines, letting them be a backup re: hospitalization.

Flu by itself is a big deal[1]. Most years, more people die from flu than from car accidents.

Another flu is not a dream scenario.

Another flu that responds to vaccines sounds good, though.
