Pandemic 3 years later: Has the COVID-19 virus won? - Levin - 11-03-2023
By CARLA K. JOHNSON
yesterday
On the third anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic, the virus is still spreading and the death toll is nearing 7 million worldwide.
......
The virus appears here to stay, along with the threat of a more dangerous version sweeping the planet.
......
With the pandemic still killing 900 to 1,000 people a day worldwide, the stealthy virus behind COVID-19 hasn’t lost its punch.
......
We’ve become numb to the daily death toll, Topol says, but we should view it as too high. Consider that in the United States, daily hospitalizations and deaths, while lower than at the worst peaks, have not yet dropped to the low levels reached during summer 2021 before the delta variant wave.
At any moment, the virus could change to become more transmissible, more able to sidestep the immune system or more deadly.
......
“I wish we united against the enemy — the virus — instead of against each other,” Topol said.
......
but the worst is likely over because of population immunity.
