Many people in the 1800s also said that we needed to accept living with cholera. Until they figured out all they needed to do was clean the water.
We don’t need to live with COVID. All we need to do is clean the indoor air.

Cleaning the air can be done, and it is not hard. It will be a lot easier than bringing fresh water and sewers to every house (yes, they did that!).

Ventilation and filtration.
We need all indoor spaces to have at least 3 air exchanges an hour (right now your house probably has 0.3, which is why one person gets a respiratory illness in a family, everyone else tends to catch it).
Add filtration to reduce aerosols even more.

Get a CO2 detector and open your windows when the CO2 level gets above 800ppm.
Air your house out every morning like our grandmothers used to do.

And of course, everyone needs to get vaccinated.
If we do all of these things, we can make COVID become something that pops up occasionally, but does not present a sustained threat.

Long term houses need to be fitted with air-to-air heat exchangers so that they can bring fresh air in without impacting energy efficiency much.
