> The fact that only 1000 people died from it in 2024 in the US is proof enough that this specific pandemic is over.

I’m not sure if you got that number from the article, but if you did, that’s per week (but in the whole world, with 75% in the US):

> Figures from October 2024 showed at least 1000 people died from COVID-19 each week, 75% of them in the United States, and that’s relying only on data from the 34 countries that still report deaths to the World Health Organization (WHO)

Not debating whether or not it’s “over”, but if you’re going by that number, your number is about 40x off.
