It's a novel coronavirus. I'd imagine we have a few years before it's generally tame, as far as a coronavirus goes. Long term effects still suck. Especially given it's newly hypothesized ability to activate dormant illness within a person. No doubt, the virus can fuck off, but it's likely going to be around for a bit.
