ABSTRACT
As most of the countries have already passed the peaks of the second or third wave of infections, COVID-19 is (finally) on the wane and will soon touch the baseline persistence with a reduced death rate. The Case Fatality Ratio (CFR) or lethality is presently only ~2.0%, which is relatively low in comparison to the high of 14% in April 2020. More importantly, the lethality in healthy people is 20 times lower. In addition, successful vaccination programs are currently underway in several countries. Thus, although new pathogenic variants as well as a few isolated cases of resurgence, will continue to emerge, the worst seems to be over and we will surely win this battle soon.
