Spoilers: It likely won't.

1. Yes, but we're not going to be living like this forever.

And by "this", I mean "nightmare pandemic end of the world" mode. If anything I think this will end like Influenza and it will mutate into another seasonal disease that we have to deal with. But we will eventually get shots and treatments that will help us cure it.

2. except that it mutated in Indonesia and

the new strain is 10x more deadly. I may never leave my house again.

3. That's exactly what happened with Influenza.

That's why the second fall wave was much more deadly than the first but then it eventually mutated into a nothing virus that we have to deal with every year. But there are treatments and vaccines that allow us to venture out into the real world with Influenza. That will eventually happen with COVID too.

4. 20,000 deaths last winter

wasn't exactly a nothing.
