Eventually, humans will adapt and we’ll acquire defenses and/or the virus will develop weaknesses or mutate simply to survive (can’t live if you keep killing the host). A number of us will die, but statistically, judged against the 7 billion of us, it won’t be anywhere near huge.
I suspect the angst of today would have existed in 1918 had we had social media and 24/7 news then as well.
Life’s terminal, as Warren Zevon sang. Do your best to put off the result as long as possible. Covid’s just one more thing with which we mortals will dance. Selah. And blame ain’t gonna change that.

I think you are being too pessimistic. I heard from a reliable source that, at most, the U.S. would have a couple thousand COVID deaths.
