Joe Biden has declared that the pandemic is over, and the World Health Organisation says the end is in sight. But what does that really mean and who benefits from such pronouncements? | liammannix

To extend this, consider all the globally-circulating viruses society doesthink of as pandemics, such as HIV or hepatitis C. “Every scientist in the world would tell you they are pandemics,” says Professor Peter White, an expert on the history of pandemics at the University of NSW.

Nineteenth-century England used to celebrate a general decline in cholera epidemics – and a return to life as normal – with a day of thanksgiving. Modern England celebrated Freedom Day in mid-2021 when the government dropped COVID restrictions. This makes some sense. In Australia, our lives have returned to something close to what they were before 2020, with a bit of extra virus-hygiene. Media monitoring data from Streem somewhat backs this up, suggesting COVID media coverage remains high – but other things capture our attention too now, such as the war in Ukraine, politics and the death of the Queen.Globally, the rolling average of confirmed COVID-19 deaths is as low as it has been since early 2020.
