TL;DR Summary
The World Health Organization has declared the end of the Covid global health emergency, but experts caution that the pandemic is not over and that Covid-19 will continue to circulate. The virus is transitioning into something that is more predictable and less dangerous, but there is no actual end point. The timing of this transition is influenced by how the virus evolves and how quickly our immune systems acquire the capacity to cope with the new disease. The emergence of a new variant remains a looming question, and experts hope that it will not cause a large new wave of infections.
