I would be totally happy if any of your optimistic thoughts become true. However, every serious piece of information so far contain only bad news.
- it seems that more and more studies about no possibility of long term immunity appears. It seems that you can get the covid as many times as required to die (like the seasonal flu)
- it seems that more and more long term (livelong) complications after recovery from covid are recorded and reported
- it seems that many institutions work on vaccine, however any vaccine should be tested for many years (as far as I know) before mass application, otherwise the vaccinated group can get some other complications (die from other illness etc.). Even though we start vaccinating soon (next year maybe?), it would be hazard, and most likely no government will go this dangerous way
I am pretty sad about this, but I guess the best option we have now is to get used to the semi-lockdown, social restrictions and other limitations. It seems the limitations will play a vital role of our lives for many years (at least in covid seaons, probably few times per year). It is quite possible that it will take many years before the live will be the same like before.
Hopefully I am wrong and some weird miracle will happen.
