Worst case it will eventually become endemic but mild. Dangerous viruses tend to be self-limiting, especially in humans who will take deliberate, intelligent action to avoid said bugs (unlike all other species).

Also after enough people have been exposed to one or more strains of covid, natural immunity will play a big role in severity. Except for an unlikely few who are genetically very susceptible, whose genes will be de-selected from the species (although vaccination can mitigate that too).
