The last two coronaviruses did, in fact, die out naturally in the UK. However, I agree that we still have some things to find out about this particular virus. Nobody yet knows whether annual or less frequent boosters need to be given to protect the population.

If you mean the last two variants (original +1) of CV-19, then you've made an interesting point.

From what I read, plus application of logic, if the current variant (original +2) is dominating, then the older variants should eventually die out.

However, this cycle could continue indefinitely until brought under control by a competent vaccine.

So, as I see it, fingers need to be crossed that no mutation occurs that defeats the vaccine.

OB, what's your take on my assessment?
