1. Covid-19 seems to get less deadly. It is due to new less deadly
variants or "dying out" of (very) high death risk groups.
2. Covid-19 vaccines seem to fail to provide good protection even for
one full flu season (6 months).
[ AFAIR drop to 40% efficiency after 5 months ]

Western covid-19 policies seems to be driven by number of
hospitalizations and deaths. No hospitals overflow and not too may
deaths => no (big) problem.
