Back in 1918, the flu was pretty novel to the world. It really did a number on the population and killed a LOT of people. After about 2 years, herd immunity and the weakening of the virus started to become the norm. Now, the flu is considered a minor inconvenience and something we just have to put up with every year.
Think of Covid as following the same path. The Omni variant, IMO, is the sizzling out of Covid, it will soon be under control and a minor inconvenience we need to put up with every year.
But, instead of just getting your flu booster, you'll need a flu and vid booster each year as the viruses constantly mutate.
Quite frankly I'm pleased with the lax reaction to the spike in cases now. People are over it. They can get the boosters, or get covid. With an endemic virus like this there is no stopping it. Leave it up to personal choice to get vaccinated or not, wear a mask or not. Life has been normal for me and those around me.

Oh, really, Mr. Wise man? Did you hear about yet another, more virulent and vaccine-resistant variant from Africa? Oh, that's another thread, I know. I'm afraid we have not seen the real virus yet, just the extended dry run.
I don't know who Disclose.tv is, but World O Meters is showing 408,874 new cases for what is now yesterday on their site.
