COVID-19 is a flu. Like the common seasonal flu, it may wax and wane with the seasons. However, it is also prominent in the southern hemisphere, where it is not flu season. So the speculation on the seasonality may be wrong. Or maybe it has mutated. Which is the scary bit. Flu ain't so bad, because it comes and goes and doesn't really have a chance to iterate and mutate in really ugly ways. COVID-19 may break that pattern... which would make it year-round... which would give it far more ability to mutate, and for those mutations to spread. THAT's the future of COVID-19 that worries me.
