   For some definitions of post-covid.  Covid will always be with us.  Over time,   
   one way or the other just about everybody will become relatively immune, get   
   "long covid," or die.  Eventually it may become like the flu -- you   
   occasionally   
   get it and it lays you up for a few days, but that's it.  It's still early   
   days,   
   and there's much we don't know about this virus.  As the situation changes, the   
   CDC advice changes, much to the consternation of the anti-vaxxers who, in their   
   ignorance of science, apparently believe it should be static and unchanging for   
   all time.
