While we all would like it to mutate to become a mild illness, it’s not an automatic trend, nor is it a direct line. It’s equally likely that the next variant will be equally deadly but even more able to get around prior immunity.
Exactly. A year ago you had a very good chance of not testing positive for COVID if you were vaccinated. With Omicron, the virus has mutated to where you can still get COVID but symptoms are likely to be relatively milder if vaccinated. How do we know it won't mutate to something that is fatal for even the vaccinated?

This may be true today but no one knows what the next variant will be like.
I feel that people are tired and have just given up. The attitude of most people today seems to be 'get busy living or get busy dying' due to the uncertainty and constantly changing nature of the pandemic. Two years is a relatively long time, and I honestly don't feel I can judge anyone for doing their own thing now.
