No it isn't Nicky, regular flu is an influenza.
Most "common colds" however are coronavirus.
Covid-19 will never go away. The misinformation surrounding this is really staggering. We're not locked down "until the virus goes away" - this is a new human virus that will be around for the rest of time, or I guess theoretically, until virology advances to the point where we can kill any virus with a pill.
At some point though - whether through a vaccine or natural immunity building as people gradually get it and recover - it'll fade into being "just another virus". It'll kill a certain number of people every year like other viruses but it'll just be a part of life.
If the question is when will the restrictions and lockdown go away... Well, who knows. They can't go on indefinitely but it could be on-and-off for a year.
