COVID-19 Timeline

It’s about 2022, and COVID has been a problem since end of 2019. In your opinion, what’s your timeline expectation for when this virus will no longer hamper society? I don’t believe it will fully go away but just wondering when we can start living our lives in this new normal without apprehension. 

 

Those people died with Covid, not from Covid, because they had a ton of comorbidities. When old people were dying of pneumonia, did governments just declare a state of emergency because of a pneumonia epidemic?

You're right: they didn't die from COVID.  Hundreds of thousands of people happened to get heart attacks and strokes right around the time COVID started.  Pure coincidence.

COVID has always been far deadlier than the flu, even the swine flu.  It decreased US life expectancy by an entire year.

 

Omicron is extremely contagious but far less deadly.  The good news is vaccines and boosters will make the virus far more bearable for those who have them.  The bad news is as usual the plague rats will fill up hospitals and die (even the ones with natural immunity, see source) and the death rate could go up as they run out of ventilators.

Even De Blasio has ruled out any new lockdowns, and most of the college lockdowns were done under the impression that the worst will be over by January.  So that's good.  The public does not have the energy for march of 2020.

 

Think this could be the wave that extinguishes covid. If you’re healthy and vaccinated, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t live your life as normal. America is done with covid. I went out last weekend knowing I might get it and here I am probably positive. Not concerned whatsoever because I’m vaccinated and boosted.
