Virus Expert Just Issued This "Deadly" Warning
This week, COVID-19 cases in the U.S. continued to decline. New daily cases are now down nearly 70% from two weeks ago. But the daily average of deaths is near the pandemic's all-time high. At the same time, the overall number of people who've died from the coronavirus surpassed 925,000, pointed out Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, who analyzed the impact of the Omicron wave—including the impression that it was "milder"—and issued a warning for how we should react to future variants.

The WHO has long been cautioning countries against approaching the pandemic at a domestic level instead of a global one. Officials warned that highly-vaccinated countries will have a false sense of security if other countries have low vaccination rates because the virus rapidly spreading anywhere will lead to new variants that may be more deadly or evade therapeutics and vaccines.

That happens a lot.
For small pox the US continued to vaccinate almost the entire population until roughly 20 years after the last case in the US.
It took a long time to rid the rest of the world of it.

Covid-19 case counts are falling in the United States and many parts of the country are starting to relax.

Cities like Washington, DC, and New York are lifting vaccine mandates for many public indoor spaces. National public health officials are easing up, too. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now advises that communities with low levels of transmission can forgo universal masking.

As spring draws near, is it finally time to feel hopeful? Is it possible the worst of the pandemic is behind us?

A new variant could ruin the party, but we're looking damn good today! Here's the Mass case count over time--amazing how it's plummeted. Boston and surrounding areas dropping masks over the next couple of weeks

Believe what you want to believe. Other opinions may vary. From a left wing news source:

As always, I believe in data and science, and I've never thought that masks or vaccines should be about politics. I'm pretty sure that's different than your view.

Back to the data--the numbers are awesome--it's clear that we do not need masks right now, and that's great news for everyone.

We agree…I don’t THINK they should be about politics, but they are. This entire mess was about politics, control and most of all, money.

PS: Where’s Fauci lately? Either he’s on vacation or they stuffed him in a closet to keep him quiet so they can do damage control. The democrat polling looks horrific for the midterms, so they had to silence him fast.

From your posted link:

"It’s time for Democrats to take credit for ending the COVID crisis phase of the COVID war."

The craziest thing is how quickly Trump supporters forgot "he" was responsible for the vaccine and how few of them took it in protest.

The saddest irony is seeing "conservative anti-vax talkshow host dies from Covid" headlines.

I mean, other than people minimizing the pandemic on a forum where members have lost important people in their lives to Covid. I'd wear a mask for another year if it meant having my deceased family and friends back.

Conservatives didn’t forget it was Trump that was responsible for pushing the vaccine through. However he did not try to force it on us though mandates.

That was a problem only after huge populations refused to take it.

There's an alternate universe in which Trump won and his sycophants lined up for the vaccine. Whether the liberals did? I guess we'll never know!

He purchased doses ahead. But the first vaccine developed and released was not a part of that program.

Fortune Magazine - ''The truth is that Pfizer didn’t receive any funding from Operation Warp Speed for the development, clinical trial and manufacturing of the vaccine. Rather, its partner, BioNTech SE, has received money -- from the German government.''

Conservatives tend to be pretty supportive of Viet Nam vets, those that volunteered and those that were mandated to serve through the draft... not so much Jane Fonda - get the comparison?
