a lot of people I know have recently been mildly ill with what they described as a cold, I mentioned to them it could have been covid as the symptoms are identical, that is where we are at with covid right now, I have no doubt that certain risk groups could still get seriously ill with covid but isn't that the same for the flu
so I agree with you - this thing is over
China is way behind the curve on this for 3 reasons, vaccination levels and lack of effective vaccine, also severe lockdowns that prevented spread but also reduced the herd immunity effect that other countries now have, China has made a bigger mess of covid than even Thailand
