When will COVID-19 end? CDC offers new prediction – Deseret News

The question on most peoples minds is when will the COVID-19 pandemic end? Well, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has a new prediction.

Walensky told ABC News that the pandemic will end when the country sees a huge drop in deaths per day and when hospitals arent packed with patients.

The pandemic, she said, will eventually end. And that will mean that we can drop the face masks from our culture, too.

Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former Food and Drug Administration commissioner, said during Face the Nation on CBS News in early November that the pandemic phase of the coronavirus outbreak was close to ending.

But that was before the omicron variant emerged, worrying experts about what might be next in the coronavirus pandemic. Experts told The Sydney Morning Herald that the omicron variant could be less virulent and cause less severe outcomes which has proven true so far which might be a sign of the future of the pandemic.
