🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱Speaking as a COVID-19 research scientist I can tell you yes its here to stay.
AIDS is also here to stay and not eliminated. There are 1.3 million new HIV/AIDS cases world wide each year. In the USA there are fewer cases due to use of condoms but still new cases each year (something on the order of 50,000 new cases a year in the USA).
The black death (plague) also isnt eliminated, we have new cases of it in the USA each year. But since its carried on fleas our modern sanitation has reduced the number of cases significantly, so it is here to stay as well.
The important thing about AIDS and the plague, despite not being eliminated, is these are NOT air borne. They only transfer with close intimate contact of some kind. So while sanitary conditions can greatly reduce (not eliminate them) things like COVID-19 are not at all comparable.
Diseases dont go away usually, AIDS, H1N1, COVID-19 they are here to stay forever. You can wear masks and reduce it to some extent, but the second you stop it will just go right back to baseline (just as stopping wearing condoms would raise AIDS back to baseline).
These diseases are here to stay, forever.
