It seems like they've been looking at both of those really in terms of researching.With 100,000 behind us I wonder if it's slowing or just become less aggressive.
When I was reading about the virus potentially being considered endemic it was with the framing that the virus over time would get less severe in the reactions our bodies have as more of us had the exposure to it and our bodies could 'remember' it. I don't really know if we've had enough time for that to happen quite yet but who knows. But there's also a case to be said of slowing down the rate of spread maybe by more immediate action when outbreaks occur and I think that type of response is happening.
I know that nursing/long-term homes have been hit particularly hard too. It's possible on that front efforts to more quickly identify and mitigate spread (in an environment where spread happened normally really quickly), improve procedures and policies surrounding interaction (including PPE) may be helping on that front on a national level. There's been more attention paid to other vulnerable populations including minorities I could see that being a possibility to. But these are just musings out loud. The rate at which the deaths were happening were horrifying to say the least.
