I am inclined to support the view that this is getting milder and as such will become endemic by the Summer - by the next winter it's conceivable we'll be offered flu/covid vaccine as a joint jab if we're old/vulnerable and ther rest of us will just accept the illness as we do with heavy colds/flu now.
Yes, the risk of a virulent mutation arising is still there, but that applies to every virus not just COVID. Unfortunately I believe the whole Dr Smythe thing has missed the boat now. Look forwadr to Phasefocus news or other Paraytec applications to get us upwards a bit, but this isn't "going to the moon" or multibagging from here IMHO - sorry.
