This is what a typical coronavirus does, correct? As far as I understand it, if a person is up to date on vaccinations, chances of severe disease is minimal. Long covid aside, it's not looking like a big issue, correct? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Highly immune evasive omicron XBB.1.5 variant is quickly becoming dominant in U.S. as it doubles weekly

It's a novel coronavirus. I'd imagine we have a few years before it's generally tame, as far as a coronavirus goes. Long term effects still suck. Especially given it's newly hypothesized ability to activate dormant illness within a person. No doubt, the virus can fuck off, but it's likely going to be around for a bit.
