Coronavirus has already mutated several times!!!

The Flu always mutates that is why these vaccines are less then 20% effective!!!

Vaccines do not eradicate any virus or disease period!!!

The Coronavirus and the flu have been around since man roam this planet, it will never be completely eradicated!

It has to run it course mutating into a harmless state till the next virus rears it self!!!

Likely a permanent part of life, like the influenza.
My opinion doesn't matter though, it will be what it will be.

the coronavirus is not related to the flu virus so no merger mutation possible there.
Corona virus (in general) are resistant to permanent immunology in general. seems at this point that yearly vaccine boosts may be required in the future considering the occurrence on re-infections being observed and anticipated. Medical treatment has already advanced much already eventually mortality will probably fall in-line as with influenza.

A vaccine probably won’t help much. The virus probably will mutate similarly to the flu. Every year a new flu vaccine is created to give you a “little flu” so you don’t get a “big flu”. I think it is a failed strategy.

My 2 cents, value added, or subtracted depending on which 'expert' opinion most aligns with your preconceived notions- Corona viruses have been studied, genomically altered, and tested for decades in bio labs in the U.S., China, Israel, and Australia. Specifically, gain of function work was being done on horseshoe bat derived viruses in the UNC lab at Chapel Hill, with researchers from Wuhan China, before the work was exported to Wuhan after the NIH wisely decided such research was too dangerous to be conducted in the US after several prominent leaks from US labs. After decades of research, no vaccines have ever been developed for a corona virus, of which the common cold is associated with. Such viruses mutate so rapidly, that it will be difficult to develop a vaccine to target it, which is the case for the annual flu shots, which are hit or miss because it is not possible to accurately predict exactly which flu virus will be prevalent in a given year. The reality is that most viral epidemics follow the same trajectory, with a sharp rise in the rate of infection, followed shortly after by a precipitous drop as more people develop a natural immunity. You can see this in graphs of SARS1, and graphs of CoV2 from virtually every US state or other country regardless of measures taken. The reality is that a majority of us will never have a adverse reaction to exposure to the virus. For elderly people, or people with other preexisting conditions, it can be fatal. Statistically, younger people are completely unaffected. Eventually most people will have been exposed to the virus, and hopefully the number of infections will continue to diminish.

Hang on whilst I dust off my crystal ball. Ah! Nice and shiny now. Let me see.......
The answer to your wuestion is .....
.....
.....
YES.

It probably has already but like the flu vaccines offer protection even if partial , you get sick but don't die

I can’t predict the future, and as I’m not an epidemiologist or virologist, I will not even speculate on what may happen to COVID and whether it will mutate or not. People get panicked when a worst case scenario is speculated on and then it tends to morph into “definite fact” on the Internet once FB idiots start sharing...and hey presto it has suddenly become “viral” if you’ll pardon the pun!

I'm not sure. Maybe we should ask a politician.

Corona and flu getting married? I doubt it.. We need a corona vaccine but it will most likely be with us for quite awhile... Anti vaxxers...
