we are still in a pandemic so though, perhaps not “raging.” maybe that’s too alarmist. i’ll pull back on that, but.. it is still at levels indicative of a pandemic last i was aware.

it’s an endemic disease, meaning it persists at manageable levels, similar to influenza.

thanks for the info, you're right. well, that's a bit of a relief for me then. still not great lol.. just means the disease isn't an international disaster impacting several communities. i hope our vaccines against it continue to be successful.
