I think you are saying the same thing?

FWIW here's the URL of article today in the Atlantic that explains what it means to say that "covid may become endemic":

"We’re Not at Endemicity Yet":

Well, no, not really (If I have the interpretation of "you" correctly!)

I was saying covid may become endemic and remain around forever, whereas missedthecue's saying it may be eradicated (which I don't think likely).

But I was dead wrong about covid being a rhinovirus, as yorwba has pointed out below. I've had that wrong for a long time, so need to think about it!
