The World Health Organisation's director-general has warned that conditions remain ideal for more coronavirus variants to emerge and it's dangerous to assume Omicron is the last one or that "we are in the endgame".pandemic could still end this year if some key targets are met.

Omicron is less likely to cause severe illness than the previous Delta variant, according to studies. "It's true that we will be living with COVID for the foreseeable future and that we will need to learn to manage it through a sustained and integrated system for acute respiratory diseases" to help prepare for future pandemics, Dr Tedros said.Raising vaccination rates in every country is a key weapon in beating the pandemic, the WHO chief said.

History & data indicates a Pandemic takes about two years to run its course but due to modern tech & accessible travel, this will take about another 5years. There will be more variants & more “boosters” to combat something that can’t be vaccinated

Seriously can’t even get a sports story without Covid in it!! Give a rest!!
