COVID will never be over, just as Influenza will never be over. Er will have booster COVID vaccinations every year, covering any new, emerging strains. Like Flu, it will kill 5,000 to 20,000 per year. We just have to learn to live (and die) with it.
Except that apparently there have been vanishingly few flu deaths this last year, and no cases at all in the last 7 weeks. Which just goes to show:
1. How effective simple hygiene measures like social distancing, hand washing and mask wearing are at preventing many viral infections
2. Just how enormously contagious and infectious C19 is in comparison to 'normal' flu
