Setting it Straight: Are we coming to the end of COVID-19?
Written by Nobel Laureate Professor Peter Doherty
The answer is, of course, that we don’t know. We would all like it to be over but wishing (or saying) that it is so does not make it so.

People are still dying, but there’s generally a lag phase before those counts also drop away.
