If the 8 billion people around the world who are not currently sick or cured are not vaccinated, the new H1N1 flu virus is likely to become endemic. While cases in the U.S. have improved significantly since their peak, unvaccinated people will continue to die from COVID-19 until we stop transmission.
Another reason that eradication of COVID-19 is unlikely is that even if we could stop the spread of infection between humans, we have several examples of outbreaks in animals that humans frequently come into contact with, such as on mink farms. This targeting The level of protection from severe disease means that even if we don't eliminate the spread of the coronavirus anytime soon, we can reach levels of herd immunity that can contain the effects of COVID-19. If you have COVID or may have been in contact with someone infected, you can help curb the spread of the virus by staying away from others, monitoring symptoms, and getting tested.
Experts have been monitoring new variants of the virus that cause COVID-19 to see if they spread more easily, cause more severe disease or could interfere with the effectiveness of vaccines. There is still much unknown about the new variants of the virus, including how well current COVID-19 tests can detect them, how well current COVID vaccines work against them, and how well current COVID treatments work against them
