Not to be a pessimist, but it seems like we've had a few of these reports over the last two years, and then things don't play out as predicted

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.
My two cents...

The Philippines will open its border to tourists again starting February 10th, visa on arrival, no quarantine, so for the first time in almost 3 years I can go check on my house there....
