Covid is not over. But the pandemic is over.

"Pandemics are known to cause widespread disruption, illness and hardship as we have experienced since 2020. An endemic means a disease is spreading in a community at the normal or expected level. A pandemic begins to shift to an endemic once the disease becomes more stable and manageable."

COVID has mostly moved from pandemic to endemic (like the flu).

People were scared during the pandemic. Until the fatality rate for COVID goes up significantly, people are going to ignore the risks.
