It looks like 2022 will be the year the Covid pandemic ends and the virus becomes endemic. Just looking at the reported numbers in Ireland and the UK in each country about 1 in 300 people are becoming infected a day. But by most accounts Omicron is the sniffles, so this number has to be massively underreported and there is likely a large multiple of this number catching it every day and being asymptomatic or hardly noticing symptoms (half of PCR tests in Ireland are now coming back positive, which is way way up and proportionately and suggests a lot of underreporting).
I predicted at the start of the year that lockdowns and restrictions would mostly be over by the end of the year and the focus would be on the introduction of vaccine passports. The Delta strain threw this off a bit but now Omicron is already wiping out and replacing Delta. Factor in that this strain isn't killing anyone and is conferring immunity against other strains of covid, and you have what is basically an airborne vaccine (one that is probably less harmful than any of the jabs) and a scenario where something like herd immunity and a move to an endemic phase seems imminent. South Africa, where Omicron originated has already peaked and cases have been collapsing rapidly since just a couple of weeks after it was discovered.
There are some signs of a change in approach already, Israel, who are on their fourth booster shot are now considering admitting defeat on trying to contain covid and moving to a herd immunity model. We are also seeing some prominent liberal journalists changing their talking points to give up on trying to contain the virus and move on. I also suspect a lot of individual governments are also keen to finally declare a victory on this now with a lot of imminent elections next year. Maybe we'll get another year of lockdowns despite deaths being virtually nill and hospitalisation rates plummeting, them admitting the vaccines do nothing to stop the spread, and Omicron likely already peaking and conferring immunity for other strains, but I really doubt it.
