Does the end of Covid emergency declarations mean the pandemic is over?

Mon, 2023-05-08 09:12 — mike kraft

Does the end of Covid emergency declarations mean the pandemic is over? What is clear is that Covid isn’t going anywhere, though the damage it is doing to the human species is declining. Helen Branswell STAT

...

There are no fixed borders between a pandemic, when a pathogen is new to humans and causing wide scale disease and often high levels of death, and the ensuing endemic phase, when the disease has settled into something that our immune systems can better cope with, explained Marc Lipsitch, an infectious diseases epidemiologist at the Harvard School of Public Health.

The meaning of WHO saying the COVID emergency ahs ended

Fri, 2023-05-05 18:18 — mike kraft

WHO says COVID emergency is over. So what does that mean? The World Health Organization says COVID-19 is no longer a global emergency but the coronavirus is here to stay. The action Friday by the United Nations agency doesn’t mean much for the average person. The classification is meant to warn countries that there’s an “extraordinary” event that could pose a health threat and requires a coordinated response. Health officials say the virus isn’t going anywhere and advise people to get vaccinated, including getting booster doses if they qualify. WHO has previously declared global emergencies for outbreaks of swine flu, Zika, Ebola, polio and mpox, formerly called monkeypox.
