Failure to grasp the true nature of Omicron limits our comprehension of the
past three years and might impede our future response.
The COVID-19 public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) has been
ended by the World Health Organization1, which was interpreted by many as
signalling the end of the pandemic. Declaring the PHEIC over, WHO Director
General, Dr Tedros said, “This virus is here to stay. It is still killing, and
it’s still changing. The risk remains of new variants emerging that cause new
surges in cases and deaths. The worst thing any country could do now is to use
this news as a reason to let down its guard, to dismantle the systems it has
built, or to send the message to its people that COVID-19 is nothing to worry
about.”
The reality is the pandemic had already been declared "over”, as a political
matter, in many countries around the globe, and the impression that it is now
something in the past has successfully been instilled in the mind of the
public. But is this really so, and are we even thinking about the situation
properly?
A key part of being able to successfully declare the pandemic “over” is to also
define it as the initial period of establishment of SARS-CoV-2 in the human
population. Anything that happens beyond that point is thus not part of “the
pandemic”, and can be disregarded, as part of “normal” life (the new “normal”,
that is).
However, that is not at all the correct way to view the situation."
