Covid cases and hospitalizations have continued to plummet in the US. No one knows for sure what comes next, but at this stage of the pandemic, it's helpful to think about what's certain, likely and uncertain. 1/4
Certain: We're better able to handle Covid than at any other point in the pandemic, thanks to more immunity, more vaccines, more tests, more treatments, a better understanding of masking, and more surveillance, including genomic surveillance. 2/4
Likely: Covid won't dominate our lives in 2022 because of all the tools we now have to reduce its impact. By vaccinating and adapting to different risk levels if cases increase (individual and community), we can resume many activities while keeping people safe. 3/4
Uncertain: Will new dangerous variants emerge that cause more severe illness or further escape our immunity? Will we seize this moment to invest in health systems and strengthen our ability to detect, respond to, and prevent future health threats in this country and globally? 4/4
