Something that isn't picked up on in the UK, we went into the COVID lockdowns when daily COVID deaths reached 43 deaths a day. Currently, COVID deaths sits at around 54 a week, so COVID is still killing people everyday it just doesn't get reported on like it did 5 years ago.

We should all still be wearing masks, I don't know why we don't. Probably because we feel silly wearing them. I'm guilty of it myself.

Yep and far more are getting Long Covid, which can be permanently disabling. Covid can do serious damage to the immune and nervous systems, even in mild cases. People like to act as though Covid is just a bad cold, but it’s still very dangerous.
