COVID-19 News: In the last 36 hours, the WHO had once again opened their mouths prematurely and said that the threat from COVID-19 would likely be reduced and be on par with that of flu and that the agency will likely be able to declare an end to the health emergency sometime in 2023.

It should be noted that there is very little testing in the country and in many states, true caseloads and deaths are being underreported.
Australian media are already warning that COVID-19 caseloads are increasing in South Australia and also in New South Wales.

Media reports have also emerged in the last 24 hours about Israel discovering a possible new recombinant SARS-CoV-2 variant.

Unfortunately, most people are still being brainwashed into the fallacy that COVID-19 is now mild and endemic and that there is nothing to be worried about.
What is even more worrisome is that many millennials and Gen Zers that I have come across do not even know what Long COVID is or are not even aware that some of the health issues that they are having could be due to Long COVID!
While new onslaughts of SARS-CoV-2 continue silently in many geolocations across the world, we can expect reinfections and coinfections to drive the excess deaths rates in coming months.
