@luckytran The irony is, if we had all worn masks and been generally careful just a bit longer until testing could get out there and then actually utilized it to track and control infections, COVID-19 could have been stopped in its tracks.
Unfortunately, now that it's endemic (and let's stop pretending it isn't -- it's now hopping animal reservoirs) all we can do is get immunity up with vaccines and mask to avoid catching it until we can not just treat it, but prevent/treat long COVID too.
