   REALLY tired of people saying, "Why are you still worried about covid? It's endemic."

   "Endemic" does NOT mean "harmless & without risk".

   It DOES mean "here to stay" which means the RISKS of covid are here to stay, which means we're all living with a HIGHER baseline of risk which means governments & institutions & people should be making PERMANENT changes that address that risk.

   I curse the journalists & "let it rip" "experts" that made people think "endemic" = "harmless".

     @ikuo1000 Even it covid were to go away tomorrow I will continue masking as I have also not gotten a cold or the flu or any other airborne illness since I began masking. I wish I had started doing this as a child.

     @Ulrich_the_elder I said just the other day that yes, I am prepared to mask "forever" -- unless there's a sterilizing vaccine that prevents infection, which I will continue to hope for!

     Minoru Saba repeated this.

     @ikuo1000 The word endemic is the reason I still mask in public, like for the rest of my life.....
