"This research exposes a new view about the future of COVID-19 evolution and transformation(s) from a holistic approach. We renamed to COVID-19 in the year 2020 as the COVID-20. We are interested in evaluating the transition from COVID-20 to COVID-21 (from January 2021). This research wants to prove that COVID-21 can transform its composition and mutation(s) more rapidly anytime and anywhere than COVID-20. This research assumes that COVID-21 is changing rapidly and more deadly. According to our current simulator results, the COVID-21 will be more potent than COVID-20 with new symptoms and different transmission ways and speed of spreading worldwide. The new simulator is called « The COVID-X Simulator. » The COVID-X Simulator presents many equations, functions, and graphical models to evaluate different possible future scenarios and prevention measures to reduce its impact worldwide. The main objective of the COVID-X Simulator is to assess and monitoring COVID in coming years at different places under different characteristics of transmission, the velocity of spread, alternative control methods, treatments, and its final possible eradication. We can confirm that COVID will stay longer with or without vaccination or medication for COVID worldwide."
