\u0027The world is discovering SARS\u002DCoV\u002D2 isn’t behaving with neat, predictable, winter\u002Dbound waves like the flu, but with multiple rollers that are coming faster\u0027
There’s no way of knowing, what next? SARS-CoV-2 is likely going to be around forever, and traditional herd immunity for COVID was a “crazy idea based upon assumptions only justified by wishful thinking, not science,” scientist Yaneer Bar-Yam, president of the New England Complex Systems Institute recently tweeted.
SARS-CoV-2 may mutate into a very mild version. People with Omicron often report a sore throat, hoarse voice, cough, headache. “If that’s the case moving forward, it’s endemic as a nuisance more than anything,” Snutch said, “though a nuisance in older people can be deadly, just like the flu is deadly.”
In July, the country is in its seventh wave, and its third bout with Omicron. Ontario is expected to peak in the coming weeks. More hospital admissions mean more pressure on overstretched emergency rooms, where people are already sleeping on blankets on the floor. Repeat infections, according to Public Health Ontario, increase the risk of all-cause mortality hospitalization and other serious outcomes.
Dr. Sameer Elsayed: “We can’t really be too focused on COVID at the expense of so many other things that we’ve just ignored over the years.”The “it’s over” narrative might explain why researchers aren’t yet seeing the participation rates they’d hoped for in a national antibody survey.
