It’s so mild that it isn’t even worth mentioning now

Probably currently at the dip between waves, but even if the cases go up again I imagine deaths will stay low or even continue to decrease.
We aren’t far off the 9 people per day annual average of influenza deaths in Japan now…
I do suspect some will still be complaining about high numbers if/when it drops below influenza as it has done for periods in other countries.

Latest UK data from the office of national statistics has 1 in 40 people being infected.

Same in most places that it is never going away (completely) - not seasonal like flu and much more infectious. It is always going to be there 365 days a year.

Good Low Numbers as more people, discard their masks and forget about all this
incredibly busy where I live, good mix of tourists and locals, things finally back to normal, no doubt businesses are breathing a huge sigh of relief.
