Is Corona finally finished?

 It is June 2021. 

Just in the last few weeks I saw the masks disappearing form people's faces on the street, in stores and is schools. My 11 year old is very happy that everything is returning back to normal. She wants to go to a swimming pool again. 

At work (in the hospital) we still have to wear the masks. Doctor's offices still let us wait outside in the car and not in the waiting room. 

How do the statistics look like right now? 

Here are the images from the www.worldometers.com  website:

 

It is obvious that the case numbers and the deaths are both very low now. The peak in deaths was in January 2021. The deaths now are lower then the areas between the peaks. 

Will this virus stay or will it disappear? 

I think it will stay on a low level, just like it's "brothers" from the same Corona virus family. The virus is not lethal enough to wipe itself out. It is contagious enough to just continue travelling trough the population.

If the immunity to this one is similar to the others in it's family, it is not complete and after it wears off you can get another infection, maybe milder and it will continue and go on in circles.  It will become another reason for a common cold, with a few severe cases. 

I just hope that there will not be a mandatory immunization requirement for the hospital personnel. I had a quite large hematoma after the first shot (Pfizer) and a very large hematoma after the second dose. And after the second dose I had to take a sick day. It was my first sick day ever. I might have had some platelet reaction to that shot. There were some cases described where the shots produced a drop in platelet counts. 

What all this pandemic experience showed me?

- Most people play by the government rules and obey.

- Governments are easy to scare. 

- The economy is robust to hits like that where there is no structural damage.

- This RNA vaccine is different, I never had such a severe reaction to a vaccine.
