It is impossible to predict the ultimate death toll from SARS-CoV-2 since it will always be with us in some variant. We will mitigate its effect on daily life just as we have mitigated the effects of TB, HIV, Influenza and a long list of other diseases.
I hope that we have learned from this pandemic and will be better prepared for the next plague.

@jim44444 Maybe next time we won't eliminate the national pandemic office. We need to be ready for next time.

@windinhishair I would hope we are ready for the next one but I have doubts that the so-called leaders have the balls to make it happen. They are only focused on the next news cycle, next election. Theoretical future problems are given lip service.

@jim44444 George W. Bush started the pandemic preparation of the federal government during his terms in office. Obama continued and strengthened the preparations, particularly following the Swine Flu (which is a variant of H1N1) in 2009. The government was therefore somewhat prepared--until Trump took office and eliminated many of the people and preparations as unnecessary. It was more important to torture children along the border and kill federal criminals than to protect Americans. But the good news is that up until that point, there WAS some level of federal planning, and I'm sure there will be again, though your point is well taken that it may fade in time.
