The new coronavirus could circulate forever, experts say -- becoming another illness in the sea of se

Some experts say the new coronavirus will probably never disappear.

Instead, it will likely become like the flu and other respiratory viruses that constantly circulate in the human population and fluctuate with the seasons.

Coronaviruses and other respiratory illnesses tend to retreat in hotter, more humid weather. But even if the new coronavirus naturally subsides come spring, it could return in the winter.

The new coronavirus is likely here to stay.

Experts think will probably become a permanent part of the human respiratory-virus repertoire.

"This is going to be with us for some time — it's endemic in human populations and not going to go away without a vaccine," Amesh Adalja, an infectious-disease expert at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, told Business Insider.

And next year it most likely will return in a different Variant. With the Global Warming and Weather Pattern changes,all bets are off that this Covid-19 dies completely.
