I think we're No.1 in the EU now. And, more importantly, ahead of the UK.
OTOH, with regards to the New Normal --- there was was looks like a Coronavirus epidemic in the 1890s. It was mistaken for the flue at the time, but might've been a Cow Coronavirus. It killed a million people. When you needed ships and carts to get around. It's now the common cold.
You can still get a killer cold if you're unlucky - or have another underlying issue - but it's unlikely.
It'll just be one of these endemic things, that either people get when they're young and it's harmless - or they get the vaccine for it as a baby and the endemic exposure keeps the immunity ticking.
In the end, there's also a point where not going out is bad for the soul, and you have to balance that certainty against the risk of the virus. The same as any other virus. These events, ultimately, exist because they let people feel good in a way that zoom calls and shit don't. I can't stand the morning meeting zoom call in work -- there's always someone with a fucky mic, someone too quiet, too loud, someone driving, and you can never properly understand what they're saying - and then the internet goes down and you need to restart.
And I'm normally a shut-in. But I don't want to interact with computers for the rest of existance. It's already soul-killing.

Oh sweet meteor of death
Fall upon us.
Deliver us in fire
To Peace everlasting.
