Q: If we treat Covid-19 as endemic, can it be thought of in the same way as the common flu?
A: No, it cannot. The knowledge of influenza - for instance, that flu viruses constantly change, so yearly vaccinations are recommended - has been built up over decades of scientific research.

In contrast, Covid-19 is still a relative newcomer.

"Whether Covid-19 will also become a seasonal human coronavirus, we don't know," said Prof Leo. "It will possibly take a long time for us to observe the evolutions, to understand how this virus finally settles down in the human environment."

。。。。。。

"We do not know what other surprises are going to come in the future. And since we do not know, and this is a formidable virus, we don't let down our guard."

It is the common flu.
Mutation is a given once the virus takes over the nucleus.

The virus that causes the disease called covid-19 does not exist.
You cannot order any sample from any lab around the world.
They simply do not have it and ask you to look for it in your computer's screen.

Covid can never be viewed as common flu because Covid will definitely damage your lung wheras flu does not damage your lung.

Common flu is also deadly, https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/c...vs-the-flu

As once virus takes over a cell's nucleus some like to call it 'brain", it is no more your cell or the virus.
It is a variant.
I have my own definition of nucleus which need loso which i cannot afford.
some thing like the the nucleus is like your 'TV' set receiving infor from you thr. the 3rd-eye receiving 'consciousness from space.
That why we have organ rejection. Only for you. You have to transfer your membrane of whatever organ and replacing that with the NEW.
That's why flu shots are so troublesome.
Nature immunity has 2 types Innate and adaptive meaning updating all the time.
