" ... the finding suggests that it has now been months since Malawi entered [...] the endemic stage of the pandemic, in which the coronavirus becomes a more predictable seasonal bug like the flu or common cold."

Not to be a pessimist, but it seems like we've had a few of these reports over the last two years, and then things don't play out as predicted

I dunno what'll happen - but the widening of hospitalization / dates rates from case rates is very encouraging.
It feels like that's the only thing that'll help us long term - this thing gets weaker.
I don't think there's a guarantee that the virus will get less deadly. If that happened, it seems like after millions of years there wouldn't be any dangerous viruses any more.

Oh, I think we'll still see a bad one every blue moon. Think flu. We may go many years with garden variety strains that the vast majority of people can shake off and then we'll get a bad one.
My two cents...
