Pandemic Deemed 'Over' by 59%, yet Future Health Crisis Feared
Gallup ^ | March 7, 2025 | Megan Brenan

Posted on 03/14/2025 4:12:14 PM PDT by nickcarraway

47% say life back to normal; 13% expect eventual full recovery, 40% do not
46% have received COVID-19 vaccine in past six months, 5% more plan to
28% say they have never been infected; 11% have had Long COVID

Five years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic forced nationwide closures of businesses and schools in the U.S., a steady three in five Americans say the pandemic is over, while almost as many worry that there will be another global pandemic in their lifetime. Nearly half of U.S. adults, 47%, report that their life is completely back to the normal that existed before the pandemic, while 13% expect to eventually return to pre-pandemic normalcy and 40% think life will never get back to normal.

More than seven in 10 U.S. adults, 72%, report having contracted COVID-19 at some point since 2020, while 28% say they have never had it. Sixteen percent of Americans say they have tested positive without having any symptoms, 11% have experienced Long COVID symptoms, and 2% have been admitted to the hospital.

When it comes to their current feelings about catching COVID-19, one in five Americans continue to say they are worried, but relatively few say they are wearing a mask regularly. About half of U.S. adults say they have received a COVID-19 vaccine in the past six months or plan to get one soon.

These findings are from a Feb. 18-26 update to Gallup's probability-based COVID-19 web panel tracking poll, which began in March 2020.

Majorities Say Pandemic Is Over, but Normalcy Still Elusive

A majority of Americans, 59%, now think the pandemic is over, but 41% think it is not. These readings are unchanged from Gallup’s last update one year ago.

Republicans (58%) are more likely than Democrats (42%)

I have yet to hear an explanation of how the flu went away when COVID arrived.

I see people every day wearing a face diaper. No idea why, I just write them off as idiots when I see them.

“Just over half of U.S. adults say they have received a COVID-19 vaccination in the past six months (46%) or plan to do so (5%).”

Complete, unadulterated bullSchiff!

How do the 5% expect to do something in a time period which has already passed? Big writing fail for Megan Brenan.

Makes sense, about half our population is at Kamala Harris retardation level anyway.

Me, either. There never has been an official explanation, but we know why. They said people with the flue had Covid.

You over cycle the PCR test for Covid, it will tell us every virus that exists is Covid.

Scam on steroids.

I expected a much higher number would think it was all over.
I’m disappointed.
