Corvid19 is by measures and parameters better than months or years ago. But, by no means over! This perhaps is the new normal, cautiously optimistic! Relaxed a bit yet don't let all guards down. Use common sense and practice all mitigations procedures when necessary or when uncertain, unfamiliar, unusual places. Better to be safe and be a bit odd than sorry and get infected with Corvid 19. Although treatments are advancing and are available, long term consequence of infected and recovered is an unknown, no one knows all things related to Corvid recovery yet!

Corvid19 with the Pandemic has us all concerned; however, liked others viral imfections found in recent years, HIV/Aids, Ebola, SARS, and MERS, they are all stayed and are under control with treatments.
Corvid19 will be an endemic much liked all those others. We will have to live with it. The scary part is when someone has colds/flu and coughs. Ppl will have to be wise enough not to panic and to treat it appropriately, to know the difference between common colds/ influenza A or B and Corvid19 infections!

It is self limit, will go away with no treatment. Need be tested for the virus if Corvid toe is shown on foot, a symptoms. It can be raised, purplish, painful, and vascular related, can resemble early frostbite or chillbain liked lesions, can be more than 1 lesion. if need or want to be treated due to discomfort, NSAID can be used, but recommended to see professionals/podiatrists for professional diagnosis and confirmation first.

Disinfectant is meant to be used on non living object surfaces, it is NOT to be used internally in any living beings! (Injection). Its common sense.
