I was reading a post by someone, a few years ago, lamenting that we had “killed” a virus.
I am not 100% sure they were being serious, but they gave every indication that they were.
In any case, I’m sure that some bioweapons lab, somewhere (like, maybe, in Frederick, MD) has samples of the virus, “just in case it comes back.”
