Imagine a spicy salsa that gets milder with each bite. That’s how COVID-19 could be. The World Health Organization believes that the virus will continue to change over time, but its impact on individuals is likely to become less severe. Just like our taste buds adjust to the heat of a salsa, our immune systems can build up defenses against the virus. This means that as COVID-19 evolves, it may become more like a common cold, causing milder symptoms and posing less risk of severe illness. While this is great news for public health, it doesn’t mean we should let our guard down. Continued vaccination efforts and adherence to preventive measures are still crucial in controlling the spread of the virus. To stay up-to-date on the latest developments and recommendations, take a dive into the World Health Organization’s updated plan and research on COVID-19.
