Where here we are two years later, and your saying, well, oma crom will only be over when masses and masses of people get it. And perhaps where we've ended up, i's a little bit more humble about our ability to micro manage a transmissible virus. Like this. It's very easy to talk to day when we have vaccine, treatments, or some of the treatments, and a viand that is less problematic than the previous viance. That's also a message, it's not over yet.

- Widespread infection is now an inevitable part of future immunity — otherwise known as herd immunity
- Omicron has accelerated the pandemic into the endemic phase, in which Covid will be “like flu”
