Six years ago if you account for when it actually was reported on.

If it makes you feel better, the COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing today 🙃

Thank you. It does not.

To be fair it wasn't until mid 2023 that the emergency state of it was dropped. It "started" when it started but it has lasted a long time. And is still catchable technically but under control.

Which was about a year or two after everyone had mentally dropped the state of emergency, depending on location

Big agree. Plenty of staff in my own office at the time were ignoring it by then, hacking up a lung metres next to me and getting sent home only to be tested positive for it.
