We are in a period of widespread infections, thanks to the Omicron subvariants. At the same time, hospitalizations and deaths from Covid-19 are substantially lower than they were during past surges. One I.C.U. doctor recently shared with me that she hasn’t seen a coronavirus patient in months. Two pieces we published in Times Opinion this week take stock of the coronavirus as both a seemingly permanent feature of our lives, with the subsequent sickness and death, and as something that our immune systems, through both vaccination and past exposure, are, for the most part, still fighting well. “How can you characterize this dynamic, or make sense of it?” my colleague David Wallace-Wells [wrote in his newsletter](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRkwQs1P0TnaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8wNy8yMC9vcGluaW9uL2NvdmlkLTE5LWRlYXRocy12YWNjaW5lcy1lbmRlbWljLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAyMjA3MjUmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9Njc1NDgmbmw9b3Bpbmlvbi10b2RheSZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9OTk0ODYmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmLVNYbeYrzXNCVSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). His analysis is an important primer for understanding what’s happening now, and what’s likely to come. One expert told David he estimates that, going forward, around 50 percent of Americans will be infected with the coronavirus every year and more than 100,000 will die from it. “How can you reckon with that level of dying?” David asks.
