Do you think other viruses will die out now?

I was just thinking if anything good can come from this mess health wise... Will other viruses likely die out whilst we are not mingling.

Norovirus
Rotavirus.
Headlice.
Hand foot and mouth.
Different strains of the common cold
Flu.
Scarlet fever.
Diarrhea and vomiting bugs?

The last couple of winters my DD has had so much virus wise. I wonder if this gives us a chance to have less germs. Although we still need to get stuff for our immune systems it would be nice if norovirus died out lol

No. Neither will C19. The point is to slow the spread not stop it.

Head lice (not a virus) will never go because too many parents don't check and treat their children. The same kids will still be crawling when school re-opens.

Unfortunately people will be mingling plenty in hospital.

And viruses are wily - having learned from the current human crisis they’re probably rubbing their hands in glee and making pacts for powerful collaborations in future.

I was just wondering if we'll avoid chicken pox season this year
