Why do you think that though? Though it may seem like it because of the extreme coverage of "confused scientists" we get these days... new viruses are not any more complex or sophisticated than those that have been doing the rounds for hundreds of years. They're just... new.

Anyway to elaborate more - I think there will be advances in anti-viral medications, or perhaps even better in nanotech/synthetic immune systems that mean it won't matter what the virus is, there'll just be a quick and effective "anti-viral procedure" that knocks it on the head. Similar to the huge leap in human health that occured with the development of antibiotics.

They're actually very close to developing working antibiotic nanotech. Which is a good thing because conventional antibiotic resistance is a very real thing and if not solved, within the next 30 years will be producing annual global death rates that make Covid-19 look like a day at the beach . The looming catastrophies that everyone has been ignoring for decades, eh
