ATLANTA -- When does the COVID-19 pandemic end?
Epidemiologists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may have one answer. Restaurant-goers on Peachtree Street surely have another. And so do people who are at high risk of severe sickness or death as COVID continues to circulate.
“I don’t know when we can say the pandemic is definitively over,” said Jen Kates, vice president of the Kaiser Family Foundation, a health research nonprofit. “There’s a symbolic aspect to it, there’s a political aspect to it, and there’s a practical aspect... I think the reality is, we are at a very different place.”
