And some who have no good reason to not know better are saying Covid is 'over.' Many gov officials, NGOs and even UN sources are saying that. NOPE. Imho, not even entering the end game. The damage that has happened is still piling up and not nearly all of the damage has/is being reported and tabulated.
And that's before we even look at the likelihood that more mutations/variants of Covid are likely to show up.
The thing i'm watching for is how the situation plays out in the U.S. Republicans encouraged their 'base' to ignore vaccines and protective measures making things a lot worse than they might have been. Reported cases in the U.S. have run about double the reported cases from the next highest country. But there's no reason to believe those 'numbers' in other countries, nor the U.S. 'numbers' due to jurisdictions intentionally refusing to report and serious lack of testing. This all will seriously hurt the U.S. in the future. The only thing is "how" that will happen.
