The Washington Post: The end of the Corona epidemic appears in the horizon, although the virus will continue

The American Washington Post said that the end of the Corona pandemic that has struck the world for nearly a year and a half appears looming, and that the virus that caused it will continue.

The newspaper added, that everyone has been wondering for more than a year when the terrible epidemic will end, and the answer was permanent not for long, but events have exceeded this answer, at least in the United States. The end of the epidemic may not be quite near, but the issue is no longer reckless, rude, or suspicious.

New infections with the Coronavirus have decreased to their lowest rate since mid-September, and if it continues, it will be within days less than it was in nearly 11 months. The numbers are good. More than half of adults have received at least one dose of the vaccine, and these injections are remarkably effective in preventing severe disease and death.

The US government has looked at these trends and amended the directives for those who received the vaccine, and told them that they can stop wearing the muzzle in most circumstances, whether in internal or external gatherings. And across the United States, societies have begun to open the doors of restaurants, businesses and sports stadiums.

Speaking at the White House on Thursday, US President Joe Biden seemed close to declaring an outright victory over the virus. He said: When your country asked you to get the vaccine, you did. The American people came forward and did what I consider to be your national duty. And so we got to this day.

But the newspaper warns that epidemics start quickly and end slowly. And she said that there is a big warning, as infectious disease experts have repeatedly made clear that it is unlikely to eliminate the Corona virus. The only virus that causes disease in humans and is heading to extinction is smallpox. Others have been eliminated in geographical areas, but they lie in wait somewhere on this planet and may reappear. And some anti-Corona measures, including booster vaccination doses and possibly wearing masks and social distancing during the winter, when respiratory viruses spread more easily, can remain part of our lives.
