why no zero cases one?

There will NEVER be zero covid cases just as there are never zero flu cases, zero measles cases or zero dengue cases. Only ONE virus has ever been successfully eradicated and that is smallpox.

Covid will always be around even when there is vaccine. Flu vaccines have not eradicated influenza so it would be extremely naive to think that a covid vaccine would eliminate covid-19.

However despite the fact that the virus will always be with us the current data shows that it is a mild disease that is no worse than the flu so we should not worry too much about it.
