I dunno what'll happen - but the widening of hospitalization / dates rates from case rates is very encouraging.
It feels like that's the only thing that'll help us long term - this thing gets weaker.

I don't think there's a guarantee that the virus will get less deadly. If that happened, it seems like after millions of years there wouldn't be any dangerous viruses any more.

Oh, I think we'll still see a bad one every blue moon. Think flu. We may go many years with garden variety strains that the vast majority of people can shake off and then we'll get a bad one.
