Did covid even go away?
According to my body, no
just from public consciousness
well... admitted cases and deaths went way down... now of course everyone reacting, dropping their guards, holding huge gatherings to make up for lost time... usually tends to reverse the drops... but we'll see.
People got tired of worrying about it and went "ah fuck this, if the sick die, they die".
Also, its severity in richer countries has gone way down. My brother got it and he was out two or three days. No sign of long term effects. If they're going to be despensing meds for symptoms at testing facilities, this could well turn into a pretty minor illness for most vaccinated people.
that's my impression as well
