Over the course of history, humanity has encountered and faced off against numerous types of pandemics: from all the way back to the days of the black plague to the more recent 1918 flu strain, all of them ravaging the earth and leaving disasters behind them. Yet, looking at them and analyzing them can give us a more thorough understanding of the SARS-CoV-2 virus which causes COVID-19.
By looking at the other pandemics, we can see that they generally last between 2 and a half to 3 and a half years. The 1918 flu pandemic lasted for about 18 months, only ending when it became less life-threatening or more people were exposed to the virus. The viruses that cause pandemics generally mutate over the timeline and they can become more aggressive (how the Delta variant has been for Coronavirus) or they can become more virulent (with how easy you can catch the Omicron variant now).
Despite this, the mutation can be a good thing as over time there is no way for it to mutate further in a way that can cause destruction, but rather towards the other end when the pandemic becomes an endemic disease: this means that the virus will circulate at a lower, manageable level.
