Different people react differently to the same strain. I say deaths and hospitalizations would be the best gauge. Cases will continue for at least a year to two years, that's expected. I haven't tracked hospitalization rates, but suspect they must not be very bad or we would be blasted with them non stop. So deaths are down and dropping, and hospitalizations are not an issue. Either the virus is getting milder, the people who have the worst reactions to it are being protected better, or they've mostly all already caught it. Seems like it must be one of those three, or some combination.</p></blockquote><p></p>
