This virus-type will continue to mutate, propagate, and infect. However, the severity and mortality-rate would probably be reduced by a large factor. Case in point; the WW1 "Spanish Flu" which killed around 3% of the world's population was never eradicated. It mutated and kept causing several other pandemics. The "Seasonal Flu" that we get, is actually a strain directly linked back to the original Spanish Flu. There is a very high probability that SARS-Cov-2 is going to follow a similar pathway.
It is our "New Normal". And just why we need to be diligent about disease, both in controlling them, and in our personal lives. As the numbers show, most active and healthy people are naturally resistant to covid, and most of the illness and deaths follow obese people, un-active people, and the immunocompromised. Which is why our response to the Ebola outbreak (a frighteningly nasty disease) several years ago was harsh but justified. Anyways I've rambled on for too long, I won't hijack the comment section any longer, as this isn't the space for this topic.
They have found a antibody, S309, that kills all forms of Covid. My hope is they make that into a treatment or better yet reverse engineer it into a vaccine that causes our bodies to produce said antibody.

Until people are forced to vaccinate, as happened with polio, it will continue to mutate in the anti-vaxxers.
This generalization of covid affecting mostly "obese people, un-active people, and the immunocompromised" is what drives anti-vaxxers to continue to not vaccinate. Plenty of perfectly healthy people have died from covid. Many pro atheletes get very ill from covid as well, and affected them with last effects.
Hardly the same as a regular flu.
The only way to control the spread of this virus is vaccine. Not "being healthy or build natural immunity".

"This generalization of covid affecting mostly "obese people, un-active people, and the immunocompromised" is what drives anti-vaxxers to continue to not vaccinate."
No, most people who don't get vaxxed are not 'anti-vaxxers' at all, but people that were waiting for full FDA approval, or fearful of the new mRNA tech, or concerned about the fetal cells used for early testing and/or manufacturing, or have had strong allergic reactions to other vaccines. Don't be so hasty in your judgement.
The data clearly shows that the VAST majority of people (90%+) severely impacted by Covid and/or killed are people with comorbidities. This is fact and truth. Long-Covid is also real, a little scary, but something that needs additional research, However, 'long-flu' and other viruses are very real as well and haven't been studied enough. Hopefully Covid's focus will bring additional focus to these other viruses' long-term impacts.
"The only way to control the spread of this virus is vaccine. Not "being healthy or build natural immunity"."
Another reason why people aren't getting the vaccine is simply because they don't want to be told what to do or be forced into it. Also, some people figure they have to mask still after being fully vaccinated and lose confidence and/or motivation. The CDC is not helping the cause...still recommending remote Holidays for fully vaxxed people? Really?
Actually, Covid mutates 4x less often that influenza. This will allow us to squash it sooner than later. The KEY is getting vaccines to large, 3rd world populations to prevent a Delta-variant opportunity pool like what happened in India. We SHOULD be sending every available vaccine to these places and not using resources for boosters yet.
Spanish flu happened in time where there was WWI (trench warfare in dirt, excrements, dead bodies etc), malnourishment, no proper medication. Comparing then to now is senseless and misleading. Besides, do you hear anything about cococorona in Africa, Afghanistan etc? It is desease of the rich world, most of the consequences are caused by the "measures" that powerdrunk authorities implement. It is not the "disease" that will be our undoing, it is the authorities and pharma experiments on billions of people.
"Besides, do you hear anything about cococorona in Africa"
Here in South Africa, we've had more than enough cases. And without any measures, it often would have been worse. (A bit like turning off UAC, antivirus, sandboxing in browsers, etc., etc.)
Read about Marek's desease and about the leaky vaccine that was used to fight it, you will see the future of humanity there. 2025 is LOOONG way off, by that time, imho, few will be thinking about 2nm CPUs.
ASML is the only option for EUV, but Samsung and TSMC split 100% of the first 2 years of production of those scanners, and they are both getting a piece of each year's production since, with Intel picking up a big chunk of 2021/2022 units.
Per the China conference in July, Samsung 4nm scales the fin pitch from 5nm, and it should be similar to TSMC N5, on paper anyway. Assuming they continue scaling at the pace they described in their presentation, Samsung 3GAP or 2nm should be similar to TSMC 3nm.

Inflation is really kicking in. 7 -> 2nm in just a few years...geoxile - Wednesday, October 6, 2021 - link
No mention of scaling? Doesn't the new 4nm scale density higher than previous 3GAA estimates?Threska - Wednesday, October 6, 2021 - link

It's actually both.

People are constantly told what to do.That's the price to be paid for having governments, which is the price to be paid for having groups of people.

Also is Samsung using ASML machines? That seems to be something that needs to be factored in.ArcadeEngineer - Thursday, October 7, 2021 - link
There is no alternative for ASML machines for anything remotely approaching leading-edge processes.FullmetalTitan - Thursday, October 7, 2021 - link

What's the Intel equivalent, now that we have to have to juggle two different naming conventions?ekifi - Thursday, October 7, 2021 - link
Intel 20A, also coming out in 2025 according to their roadmaps.yeeeeman - Thursday, October 7, 2021 - link
No, Intel 20A is the equivalent of TSMC 2nm. Samsung 2nm will probably be like TSMC 5nm-3nm.Spunjji - Thursday, October 7, 2021 - link
That depends a lot on how GAA works out for the three players. Samsung moving on it early might be of benefit to them.FreckledTrout - Thursday, October 7, 2021 - link
