There are strong evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 virus which is causing COVID-19 disease is lastly dying. Three important factors attenuated the virus. First the control measures implemented by health authorities in each country. Second the development of a herd immunity. Third the virus jumped to a new strain which is weaker than the parent version. This is like SARS-1 in 2003 wherein the virus spillover make it weaker instead of stronger.
The weak virus usually produce herd immunity however it will remain endemic. It is very unlikely for it to become strong again and the resultant immunity may crossover to protect against the other corona viruses.
In future, however, a new corona virus may emerge from animals like bats possibly with more devastating effect. This could happen in the next 10 years.
