I don't think it will ever go away. The hype may be calmed down at the moment, in deference to election news, but rest assured, it will come roaring back to life. The left who have seized power through covid control are NOT going to give it up. Masks will continue. Lockdowns will continue. The vaccine push with continue. Fear, fear, fear will continue.

If it ever is "over", it won't really be over, it will just morph into the next "Crisis".
