Infectious disease experts say there just may be an end in sight. Maybe.
The highly-infectious omicron variant could hasten the pandemic to end after the surge, according to several experts ABC7 News talked to.Swartzberg believes March through spring or into summer will be like last year, with a continued decline in the number of cases."There will be a sense of optimism, and then we will be able to do more things in our lives," Swartzberg said."I think May or June is going to really look up for us. I'm quite optimistic.
"It's not at all clear what comes next," said Dr. George Rutherford, an epidemiologist at the University of California, San Francisco. He said the virus could mutate gradually, like what happened with the Alpha and Beta variants. Or it could make a really large jump, like with Delta and omicron."What's next? It's a crapshoot."
"The oral drugs and the monoclonals are no good unless you know you're COVID-positive," Swartzberg said. The U.S. already has the tools to limit new variants and end the pandemic quickly, Dr. Panagis Galiatsatos says.
