Feb 2022 is when they started transitioning from pcr's for everyone to home tests.
May 2023 is when they declared an "end to the public emergency" and ended the emergency and stopped requiring hospitals to test people.
This year they stopped requiring hospitals to report much of anything.
I guess this is just how it's going to be from now on, and we'll have to figure out what damage it's doing by analyzing excess death rates
BTW many parts of the US (Hawaii and SF, and my little town apparently) and world are experiencing a pretty sizeable covid surge at the moment. Most likely from the FLiRT variant, and there is also a different variant coming up called kp.3, so that's fun.
No it’s not.
how so? i remember hearing about how it would become "the common cold"
afaik vaccination and lockdowns were supposed to avoid deaths, but that we wouldnt be able to truly contain it? is the death rate still as high as on peak covid?
this is pretty grim holy shit.
it was rough for me and ill admit i was pretty burned out from it when the media talking heads stopped talking about it
