Interesting to note that Delta was dragging itself out but once Omicron displaced Delta, the “pandemic” ended (or at least for the time being). So that was a good thing.
“once Omicron displaced Delta, the “pandemic” ended”
Omicron moved like wildfire through the population. I saw one estimate that 3/4 of Americans have had it already (including me).
When you layer on top everybody who had the earlier strains, and all the vaccinations, there is pretty thorough herd immunity out there.
Hopefully, it will be durable.
