anyone feel like this is close to the end now ?

obviously the mounting pressure of NHS from backlog and staff shortages will take a while, but as for the actual virus it feels like its drawing to an end...

I know that will not sit well with some - just how I am starting to view it

I don't think feeling awful after a viral illness is anything new. I've had bouts of flu in the past and it has taken months to shake it off, the cough in particular. They now call it long covid but before nobody mentioned it.
