I figure we’re pretty much at the end. It’s endemic and on people to protect themselves. If they are at risk, they have to shut themselves in or live in a KN-95 from now on (which sucks if you’re over 65 and otherwise healthy).
Everyone else either has it, had it, or will get it. Hopefully they are vaxxed to minimize impact, but there are going to be endless variants.
Early on some wanker edgelord coined the term “Boomer Aids”. That’s kind of where it wound up. Significant casualties among the elderly and unwell, and most everyone else walks it off (if vaxxed).
Tragic in so many ways. Probably human created, total incompetence globally (particularly in the US, and particularly in Red states), and a long tail of “Covid theatre” that will be with us for years, and do nothing to prevent spread (6 foot spacing, masks on “except when eating or drinking”, excessive hand washing, plastic screens). Its airborn and doesn’t live on surfaces.
A shame to have lost so many when it could have been stopped. See New Zealand for how it should have gone.
