Covid-19 experts say they warned White House about chance of an Omicron-level event within the next two years | CNN
In March, the White House reached out to about a dozen Covid-19 experts who are closely following the evolution of the coronavirus to ask a simple question: What did they think were the chances of the world seeing a highly mutated variant, akin to Omicron, within the next two years?

The meaning of WHO saying the COVID emergency ahs ended

WHO says COVID emergency is over. So what does that mean?
The World Health Organization says COVID-19 is no longer a global emergency but the coronavirus is here to stay. The action Friday by the United Nations agency doesn’t mean much for the average person. The classification is meant to warn countries that there’s an “extraordinary” event that could pose a health threat and requires a coordinated response. Health officials say the virus isn’t going anywhere and advise people to get vaccinated, including getting booster doses if they qualify. WHO has previously declared global emergencies for outbreaks of swine flu, Zika, Ebola, polio and mpox, formerly called monkeypox.

CDC's Rochelle Walensky resigns, citing pandemic transition
The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is resigning. Dr. Rochelle Walensky says the waning of the COVID-19 pandemic is a good time to make a transition. She sent a resignation letter to President Joe Biden and announced the decision at a CDC staff meeting Friday. Her last day will be June 30. Walensky was previously an infectious-diseases specialist at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital.

Public health leaders warn dwindling COVID data risks less preparation for 'the next outbreak'
While COVID-19 ebbs -- and many of the pandemic-era policies on surveillance data and funding wind down with it -- the nation's public health leaders warned senators on Thursday that a return to "normal" should not mean forgetting the hard lessons learned over the last three years. When the federal government's public health emergency expires next week, COVID-19 data collection tools will also end.
