      Personal hygiene shouldn’t go out the window the second a threat isn’t existential enough

      Yes, we have a vaccine. No the pandemic is not over yet. Bonus points: we still have an unhealthy large number of people refusing to get vaccinated.

        I know this is semantics, but because most people are vaccinated and the virus isn’t spreading uncontrolled, it’s not an epidemic/pandemic any longer; it’s just endemic. You should still wash your hands and wear a mask if you’re sick or around sick people, but covid isn’t a daily problem for most people now.

          Yea, just as many people (which is too many) saying “we’re still in a pandemic!!!_+$+$+#” as the deniers and freaking out like if we just put in a little more effort COVID would just go poof and disappear.

          Like no, sorry to say but the pandemic is over. COVID is now endemic and we’re stuck with it forever, like the flu.
