WBUR lists the differences, including the fact that, so far, at least, there are far fewer deaths and people getting infected are skewing far younger.

This will age well.

The majority of folks in nursing homes have already been infected with Covid so there are just fewer sick and vulnerable folks out there left to kill.

This is good news.

Depends how many long haulers we wind up with. So maybe don't throw those masks out quite yet.

I understand how infectious disease works. Less death is still good news.

The restaurant industry is going to be decimated this fall. I am seeing places close left and right due to COVID cases among their workers, which tracks with the younger demographic catching it.
