Uh oh, better start buttering up all the nurses and grocery store employees as "hero's" again since this country has done everything possible to screw them in them last 4 years since COVID ended.
COVID will likely never "end". Sure, the lockdowns have, and there aren't as many cases, but there are still thousands of cases, and at least a hundred deaths a week, in the UK alone.
Also Long Covid is still a thing ruining lives, and you have about the same risk of getting it with each new Covid infection. Not to mention that even without Long Covid, the disease has been proven to reduce mental faculties by several IQ points too as well as increase the chances of getting dementia: https://theconversation.com/mounting-research-shows-that-covid-19-leaves-its-mark-on-the-brain-including-with-significant-drops-in-iq-scores-224216
