“If we reach a certain percentage then we will really curtail the virus from continuing to spread in the way it was before and thus remain more controllable and less likely to cause a pandemic type of infection,” Schalch-Lepe said.
Will the coronavirus ever go away? Probably not. We’re looking at a situation where it can be like the flu, the virus will continue to come back in one form or fashion but without causing widespread infection,” Schalch-Lepe said.

COVID-19 killed so many people in Long Beach last year that it cut the city’s average life expectancy by a little over two years, according to recently released statistics from the Long Beach Health Department.
But one specific population group felt the effects of the pandemic even more dramatically: Average life expectancy for Latino residents dropped by about four years in 2020, according to recently released memo from health officials.
The pandemic affected life expectancy because it caused so many more residents especially Latino residents to die at a younger age than normal. Currently, the average life expectancy for Latinos is 74. For Black residents it’s 69, and for Asian and White residents it’s about 78.
