The singular characteristic of Covid-19 remains heterogeneity of impact.
Regional Heterogeneity: For 3/4 of the global population, Covid has never been a virus of concern; for Europe and the Americas Covid was a major driver of mortality.

Age Heterogeneity: Covid nearly exclusively impacts the elderly, with risk dramatically rising with age. Those under age 50, globally, are at no elevated risk of death from Covid compared to a normal respiratory virus season.
Seasonal Heterogeneity: During the Summer, Covid essentially disappeared from Europe and the temperate regions of the United States. Around the world, Covid has closely followed standard Hope-Simpson seasonal waves.
Despite the heterogeneity of Covid, the world remains hell-bent on a failed uniform standard strategy of Covid mitigation based entirely upon universal reduction of exposure.
