This is what I've been clumsily trying to say in media recently. We now have waves of COVID with lower peaks and higher troughs. This is what "hyperendemicity" looks like. So yes, the official pandemic could justifiably be declared over, as that is an administrative definition. But functionally, what we're looking at is a *sustained* assault on our already overtaxed health care system for the foreseeable future.

Solutions? Better treatments, better vaccines (mucosal ones), better engineered built environments.
