'COVID-19 #PHEIC 'officially' over but the #pandemic will be with us for many years. Nor is it clear that govts have learned sufficiently from the outbreak to be ready to fight off new emerging microbes that could trigger worse calamities.' @RobinMcKie

Can't flick a switch and declare the pandemic over, especially one so damaging and of such scale.💯@SGriffin_Lab
Whether labelled global pandemic or not, many countries experiencing significant waves of infection, thousands dying every week.💯@SusanMichie

'This bittersweet [@WHO] announcement seems more a white flag than a cause for celebration. While there has been profound progress, this decision reflects the political reality of Covid more clearly than the medical situation.' @DrBenNeuman @TAMU_Biology

⚠️Pandemic legacy
✍️Profound and long-lasting.
✍️#SARSCoV2 still killing 1 person every 3 minutes.
✍️Millions suffering debilitating impact of #LongCOVID.

'Variation' is key to the #SARSCoV2 'waves', observes @MackayIM 🇦🇺
'Each peak of a ‘wave’ (a new epidemic).'
❔Likely that new COVID-19 waves, and hospitalisations, are driven and dominated by a genetically different variant of the virus called #SARSCoV2.
'𝗩𝗶𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 adapting to the situation, through selection and expansion of 𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀' - in response to our immune system’s pressure on their evolution - has been the one constant driver of every wave in 🇦🇺, and probably everywhere...' @MackayIM
