This post is not intended to be political. Based on the recent posting concerning cancellations and postponements due to the Corona Virus, I thought they might be informative.

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez of Spain recently called on the EU to debate the possibility of treating the virus as an endemic illness, like the flu, instead of as a pandemic. “I think we have to evaluate the evolution of Covid to an endemic illness, from the pandemic we have faced up until now,” he said, adding that it was time to reappraise COVID “at the technical level and at the level of health professionals, but also at the European level.”
