I guess it depends where those kinds of viruses "go" when they're not actively widespread. I'm not sure how that works. where is the flu right now and what is it doing? reading about it, as I was thinking the flu at any time is only alive in a subset of the human population. when it's not "flu season", there are still a handful of people out there that have the flu and are spreading it, it's just that most people are resistant or immune to that version of the flu, and it needs to evolve a bit or our behaviours need to worsen a bit for it to gain some traction again and cause a new outbreak. but, theoretically, if human behaviour changed enough in the right ways in the right places, maybe it could lose its grip and have such a reduced ability to spread that it actually ends up eradicated. it "should" be possible, though I don't exactly expect it to happen, but it would definitely be a nice side effect of this whole crappy situation. --- *The truth basks in scrutiny.* https://imgur.com/GMouTGs http://projecteuler.net/profile/Sahuagin.png <cite>Sahuagin posted [p:940428178] in Coronaviru...
