The pandemic is already ‘over’ – “It’s over because people are done with it. Yes, there will still be lingering infections and deaths, but it’s been two years of lockdowns, rules, masking, and social distancing. At some point, which we have crossed, the means are more damaging than the ends.”

Sometime this year – “I am personally vaxxed and boosted and the information and resources are out there for people to protect themselves and carry on with their lives. In my opinion, it’s now each individual’s responsibility to do that.”

Sometime in 2023 – “Looking at past pandemics, after omicron, there should only be one or two more variants. It’ll take us through to the end of this year and beginning of next year and then I believe this should be over as the virus reaches equilibrium.”

In 2024 or later – “Many poorer under-developed countries do not have access to the vaccine. It’s going to require a coordinated global response to get this virus under control and prevent future variants from cropping up.”
