Hopefully enough people get the vaccines and the vaccines are effective enough against the variations, but both of those would appear to be in some doubt.

From everything I've read - previous infection might not completely prevent infection and transmission of the new variants, but it almost certainly protects against getting super sick.
So a combination of vaccines and herd immunity will probably render covid less deadly than the flu is now, even against the new variants - at least for a while.
