although I think that is possible. I think 40-80% of the global population right now will be infected at some point in the future. This virus is now all over the earth. I think the possibility of eradicating it from the earth anytime soon is slim to none at this point. It's not going away. If it mutates, it may never go away (like the flu). If it doesn't mutate, it might be possible to eradicate it. I've heard conflicting reports about whether or not this virus is mutating - I think that remains to be seen.
