The World is over the pandemic, variants, lockdowns, restrictions and everything else. Unfortunately, the pandemic is not done with us and it is unlikely the mild Omicron variant will not be the last iteration of the virus that upended the World over the last 24 or so months. Restrictions on daily lives fuel anger and resentment when a wave of seemingly mild infections sweeps over the land but other more treacherous variants may be lurking and trying to spread in the months ahead and it is important to not let up our guard but to be prepared for anything the virus has in store.
