It will probably last longer as a pandemic but only because its so much less deadly/more directly controlled

The Spanish flu didn't go away, it became the seasonal flu.

Prolly not. What made the spanish flu so dangerous was that it was deadly to young healthy people.

Scientists have already isolated the covid-19 strain and numerous labs around the world are already working on vaccines. Some are even close to human trials right now

I didn't say that. I said some labs around the world deep in their vaccine research are working towards human trials. There's still a good year away before we have a working vaccine

The spanish flu had a 2.5% mortality rate when everything was done. Thats pretty fucking crazy. COVID will likely be just under 1% and possibly between 1 and 2, which is still high, but definitely not as bad.
