The latest round of the virus is indeed subsiding and had in my country only a somewhat higher rate of hospital admissions that the previous wave (at first I thought the difference was larger but at the crest of the waves the difference was not that big).
Your assessment in the last paragraph seems seems spot on. It seems to me that issues surrounding weakened overall immunity and disability could also be asking for attention this winter in addition to your list.
It's strange this slow moving fiasco and people getting their sanity back one by one like Ben Shapiro this week. And yet I'm a bit unnerved still, like from the stories of the strange bloodclots or dying brain tissue. So much doesn't make sense still but perhaps I'm just picking up on some astral crud or something. Only time will tell...
