Five years after it started, what do Americans think about the COVID-19 pandemic?

About five years after the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic, a new YouGov survey asked Americans about their experiences of the pandemic and for their thoughts on whether the U.S. government is doing enough to prepare for the next one. 51% of Americans believe COVID-19 is no longer a pandemic. 21% think it is still a pandemic but will eventually stop being one sometime in the future and 19% think it is a pandemic that will never end.
