The pandemic could end in 2022 — here's what 'normal' life might look like soon, according to medical experts. (via CNBCMakeIt)
Covid will probably remain dangerous once the pandemic ends — much like the flu, which killed as many as 62,000 people in the U.S. between October 2019 and April 2020,But barring any major developments, "normal" post-pandemic life could arrive soon.
Endemic illnesses are always circulating throughout parts of the world, but tend to cause milder illness because more people have immunity from past infection or vaccination. You might get a cough and sniffles, but if you're up-to-date on your vaccinations, you'll be protected enough to prevent severe illness or hospitalization.
Like other respiratory viruses, there will be times of year when Covid infections peak — most likely the colder fall and winter months, meaning Covid and flu seasons could regularly coincide going forward.
"We don't necessarily have to come up with new interventions [to prevent Covid]," Dr. Timothy Brewer, a professor of epidemiology at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, toldlast week. "It's just that we've got to do a better job continuing to do the things we know that work." To that end, Truelove hopes people "take a little bit more personal responsibility and stay home when they're sick," he says. That could mean working from home if you're symptomatic but still able to work, or taking a sick day when you know you need to rest, he adds.
