I think there is one last test next winter.
The South African Omicron experience hopefully is as bad as we get going forward with a highly previously infected population keeping people out of hospitals.
The big question is will the vaccine males be able to make effective boosters to a mutating virus and will people take them? Hopefully for those who don’t get boosters the waning infection results in people being continuously exposed throughout the year holding an rT of 1 rather than us getting a critical point of lack of heard immunity and the cases spiking.
So hopefully it’s now “just the flu” on a go forward basis. We will find out next November
