    Anyway, in the UK deaths peaked in January 2021.

    Well the definition of a pandemic isn't UK only and although the US and World show a similar pattern, at 2000+/8000+ deaths per day I'd say it's far from over.

    There is no clear-cut definition of when a pandemic start and ends. Over here though it's pretty clear that here hasn't been a pandemic since March 2021.

    And they're so sneaky now, they change definitions.

    The WHO changed the definition of "vaccination", Webster's dictionary changed the definition of "anti-vaxxer".

    I think there must be a fairly clear definition that epidemiologists will use, otherwise the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic would still be going on. There never was a pandemic in the UK as that's not the definition of one. The pandemic is global and as far as I'm aware is expected to continue at least through 2022. What you are referring to is that conditions pertaining to Covid seem to have improved considerably in the UK since March 2021, not that the pandemic is over.
