An Uncommon Cold
In the longer term, virologists cannot predict how SARS-CoV-2 will evolve. It may continue to cause severe illnesses for some years yet, especially among older people. However, it seems likely that one day it will be just another common cold coronavirus. These are hit-and-run viruses. They infect you, make a million virus babies and spread them all out, but our immune system usually kills them off within five days. If the viruses are too deadly, they won't get a chance to spread, so it is in their interests to become more benign. If SARS-CoV-2 persists, which I expect it will, it may get milder over time.

• Look for activities that flow from and give expression to your curiosity, creativity and passions.
• To help you get started, reflect on your values and goals in life, and consider changing your perspective – channel your curiosity towards something and, all of a sudden, tiny details can become fascinating.
