. And so the worst looks like it's probably over, many public health experts say.
"At this point, I think that's more of a guess rather than very solid evidence," Nuzzo says."But if it's true, that might mean we might be more susceptible to seeing a rise in infections when those viruses are not around." "Between vaccinations and prior infection I think all of us are in a different place than we were before," he says."All of us, if not totally protected, we are somewhat better protected. And that immunologic wall is real."
"Make no mistake: COVID-19 remains a significant public health threat," Nuzzo says."That has not changed. And the fact that we are still losing hundreds of people a day to this virus is deeply troubling. So we shouldn't have to accept that level of disease and death that we are seeing.""It's beyond question that society has moved into a stage where the pandemic is for most of us if not over then certainly quiet. And that's a great thing.
