Have you tried to read the RFID chip in your passport to see what information it may contain? There's really no use for a passport at the moment the way things are... I think that with the amount of virus thats out and about in the world, covid is now endemic, and it'll come and go with yearly strains just like influenza.
On the topic of RFID / NFC / and "chips" I started playing with some NFC chips lately (the idea being to have a "digital business card" I can "tap" people with, to get to my website, or a "me" landing page... the only problem is that I don't tap people on the shoulder so often to wow them with such digital magicks.
