It means there are treatments available now that were not there and widely available previously.
Hospital systems are not being overwhelmed with patients now.
This cat is out of the bag and is now going to remain endemic in the world population forever there is no reasonable means of eradicating a disease that is now treatable in severe cases and preventable / reduced reaction to in the majority of the population with the current variant vaccines.
The opportunity to remove the virus from circulating was squandered and is only viable in the initial outbreak once it is worldwide and seasonal like the flu it is very hard if not impossible to remove completely.
Masks and isolation worked to reduce the impact and deathtoll when there was no treatment and no vaccine.
They will be needed again if and when a new virus pops up just like the Spanish flu did in 1919.
The only opportunity to stop the virus spreading was in the initial phases. Once it had left China and was spreading in several countries across several continents it was already to late to make it extinct.
The anti maskers didn’t win circumstances changed.
The anti maskers were irrelevant except where they unfortunately spread the disease to other people and caused needless suffering.
There was never an opportunity to eradicate the virus. From the moment it was discovered, it was already inevitable that it would become endemic. The purpose of slowing the spread was to prevent hospitals from getting overwhelmed in the first wave, and to give doctors time to develop treatments. That's what "flatten the curve" was all about.
fr, all "reduced to acceptable levels" means is "people who don't matter to me are dying"

Avail!ble to what percentage of the population?
In other words, the anti-maskers won. Why did you claim otherwise?
