And we are probably a week away from the peak.

This is what we call an "exit wave", meaning we have reached super-herd-immunity!

Here's to another year of unpredictible worldwide waves and rapid mutations making vaccines obsolete before they are rolled out.

For financial reasons we shall now refer to it as an Endemic+ virus.

I look forward to having all mention of it in the news disappear as we get closer to next election.

It's certainly less deadly, which is good but can change if a new crazy variant shows up, but I don't see why anyone is content with "Several times worse than a bad flu season, all the time". There's been 1000-2000 dieing of it a week since August, and the wave just starting to peak in most of the country, so we'll see how it goes. I think the first omicron wave was reported as mild, but it was still incredibly deadly.
