“What are we looking for? Complete eradication of disease? Or are we looking for a state where we can return to normal life?” Landsberger asked. “I think the measure is not going to be a lack of disease but a return to our normal social and economic existence.”
Pandemics don’t just end. They fade into the background either when everyone is vaccinated or recovered or when society determines that they are no longer going to have a significant impact on people’s lives.
“The vaccine will be updated and it may be able to better deal with new variants,” Landsberger said. “The disease will get to the level where people are not frightened by it.
“But it is not going to disappear.”•

The game plan hasn't changed...everybody get vaccinated and we'll be back to pre-pandemic living.
