Wishful thinking and the end of the pandemic

As the Omicron wave continues to subside, there's the temptation to hope that now that it's over, the whole pandemic is done.

And while we can dream that it's true, hoping unfortunately won't help that become reality.

The general weariness is understandable for us everyday people, but what about for policy makers and their preparations for new variants or the next wave?

Also on today's show:

* Are we really at Omicron's peak?

* Can a person be infected simultaneously with two or more strains of coronavirus?

* Why aren't COVID case numbers exploding in WA?

* Will Novavax be offered as a booster?

* Can you be asymptomatic and get long COVID? Could this explain why I am so tired?
