@counselthyself I am not particularly arguing whether it will or won't be endemic, just that it's a political issue, Western Pacific WHO countries all have 14 days mandatory enforced quarantine, so yes politically on this issue China, Japan , Australia and Papua New Guinea are closely aligned , ignore other geopolitical issues. The US or PAHO Pan-American Health Organization area and European WHO region are closely aligned, So, Brazil, US , France and Mexico are all closely aligned on this issue , no closed borders just 10 days voluntary quarantine will do, internally France is now as strict as even Melbourne was during their crisis or similar at least but I would bet you the airport is still open and voluntary 10 days quarantine is still in place and anyone with money can just go elsewhere in Europe with no lockdown. So I think can go either way , the other WHO health regions are somewhere between the above mentioned regions, politically in the end will China and Australia for example say we must accept the Euro and Pan American disease which is what it now is or will it go the other way and they finally they decide better to not keep the disease. Of course I am Australian I want your regions to tow the line and not accept another new virus becomes equivalent of the flu but probably worse because like you say the mutations that might be far worse than currently, the UK strain isn't the original virus, far more infectious, about half of all quarantine breaches in Australia were this strain despite it not being around for long and it seems a little more deadly especially for younger people, however the good news is the vaccines are still highly effective against it , but a little less so than the original strain.

@counselthyself The variants won't get into China, Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam and the smaller Pacific nations like Fiji, unfortunately some countries have effectively fallen to the virus, doing well then boom such as Malaysia, Japan Papua New Guinea and Thailand, they were all at 0 or extremely close for a long time but moved towards situations like other countries, time will tell if they make a comeback and go for 0 or they will essentially give up and end up like the "hard hit" countries. You noted you were from Canada, Canada had less cases than Melbourne Victoria Australia when they hit their peak, I was thinking at the time great Canada is going to get rid of this thing , very impressive falls in cases etc. and Victoria Australia will be cut off from the rest of Australia for a very long time. My predictions were completely wrong.
