Is the pandemic really, finally ending? And if so, what comes next?

Pandemics end. It's in their nature. And in recent weeks there's a large amount of data pointing to declining deaths worldwide and the logical end of the one that's plagued us for two-plus years. Finally. But how will we know when it's really "over"? What's the criteria? What comes after the pandemic phase of Covid-19, and what does the future look like? (Oh, and how worried should you be about Monkeypox?) GUEST: Dr. David Fisman, epidemiologist, Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto
