I think it depends. Some have pointed out that like colds and flus, this coronavirus mutates a lot. So, it's possible it can settle into a similar pattern.
It appears that first Delta now especially Omicron have mutated to more transmissible, less lethal.

Wife and I both are just getting over the 2nd infection. First one was in Feb 2020 and was severe, this was more like the flu and we didn't take anything special to get through it. Aches and pains, fever, chills, cough at the end.
Wife got tested and was positive, 5 days later negative. We both lost our sense of smell, which is starting to return.
Table 3 shows the types of health conditions and contributing causes mentioned in conjunction with deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The number of deaths that mention one or more of the conditions indicated is shown for all deaths involving COVID-19 and by age groups. For over 5% of these deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned on the death certificate. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 4.0 additional conditions or causes per death. For data on deaths involving COVID-19 by time-period, jurisdiction, and other health conditions

So 94% having Comorbidities and 6% not having Comorbidities, as cited in abcnews4.com... is no longer accurate?

Perhaps it was rare in the early days when most infected people had only just recovered from COVID-19, but now after some time, natural immunity is waning (as everyone has been warning about since before there were any vaccines) and reinfection is becoming common.
Also, there have been cases of people being infected with different strains simultaneously. So perhaps having gotten over one strain does not necessarily protect you against another?

I would be more assured if the CDC moved from "RARE" to "NOT RARE", and gave statistics to support that change.
By merely changing the wording at that webpage, it looks suspicious...like what you'd expect from a politician.

The CDC data is up-to-date and has stabilized at the stats I cited. The article you posted is from 2020. I actually found the CDC tables through an article like that and they were updated. It says it is up-to-date through 1/16/22, although that narrative has been identical for about 9 months. It's basically 95%/5%

Like all the people that are supposed to die of a changing dictionary definition?
I mean, really, you seem to expect the CDC to have the ability to foretell the future, and you get all butt-hurt every time they learn something new and update their advice.

Gain of function opens up so many avenues to venture into under the guise of safety.
I'm wondering what's taking so long for an irate parent to make their mark as the first to retaliate against authorities for hurting or killing their child with forced-vaccination.
