We need to be able to predict the hospitalization rate to be prepared for surges, so tracking transmission is absolutely necessary. Perhaps after a long period of low hospitalizations (6 months, a year?) the general public can stop paying attention... but we're definitely not there yet.
It's looking like high double and triple vaccination rates can do it (like 80%+), but that's starting to look impossible in some countries.

The terror threat indicator on news networks lasted many years and I suspect the attention to covid will follow a similar attention cycle unless something else major happens and dominates the news cycle. You'll need biannual boosters until then
