Covid-19 could become like common cold in future, study suggests

According to a study published in the journal Viruses, the novel coronavirus responsible for Covid-19 may only cause common cold-like coughs and sniffles within the next decade.

The novel coronavirus responsible for Covid-19 could cause no more than common cold-like coughs and sniffles within the next decade, according to a study. The research, published in the journal Viruses, makes this likely prediction based on mathematical models that incorporate lessons learned from the current pandemic on how our body's immunity changes over time. 'This shows a possible future that has not yet been fully addressed,' said Fred Adler, a professor of mathematics and biological sciences at the University of Utah in the US.
