As autumn bleeds into winter, public health officials are anticipating another wave of COVID infections, just like the two years previous — with some experts anticipating as many as 100 million infections this time around.
In spite of evidence to the contrary, President Joseph Biden recently declared that the COVID pandemic is "over," before walking back those comments. What Biden allegedly meant to say is that we're not in the same situation we were before, which is mostly true. Compared to the start of the pandemic, we have far more tools to fight COVID than ever before — especially the vaccines, but also antiviral drugs and monoclonal antibodies. And of course, masks still work at preventing infection.
