There is no consensus about whether the legend, the date, and other elements should appear in the map image itself. (

I've complained before, and I'll repeat: the graph/chart is nearly completely USELESS. It depicts, in red, constant-function and delivers zero useful information. I've objected in the past to its use, which from its earliest use was a poor way to show what it claims to show: total & current infections, and cumulative deaths. I have no problem with the list of deaths per day - except that it's limited to the last 15 days (why, I don't know). It was and is poorly conceived and executed. I vote for removal and replacement with separate graphs one showing cumulative (est.) deaths from March 2020, and another showing daily or better weekly averaged daily death rates. There is no information presented in the current chart about active infections and that's fine as far as I'm concerned. Incidentally, it is well-known that "current infections" can't be known and is poorly understood. Current hospitalizations would be a far better metric. When it's estimated that over 90% of the population has had exposure to the virus (with most exposed able to *avoid* an initial run-away infection (for certain values of 'initial'), it makes little (I think zero) sense to mention "active" infections!)

Return-to-office mandates

“Contracting the virus from a ski trip, Garfield was able to return to the slopes, although with fingers and toes amputated.”
Therefore, I think "transition to endemic stage" itself is a misleading and a more accurate term for this subsection ought to replace it: "ending of the emergency phase" for example.
And if the moderators do not feel the links I have provided are cause to change the subsection title, I would kindly ask that my two notes with links be included in the "transition to endemic" subsection.
I changed it to "Transition to later phases" to match the present state of the general pandemic article. Information about the end of the PHE and Fauci walking back his wording is already in the article, the latter in the heading itself.
