That doesn't mean anything! That's not a thing! That has no basis in material reality!

If people are still getting infected all over the world all year, it's still a pandemic!

In hidnsight, how healthcare professionals weren't masked all the time before covid is bonkers to me.

    IMHO, we were ‘flying by the seat of our pants’, laboring under a mis-interpretation of research done back in the 30s during Typhus epidemic. With SARS-CoV-2 all of our understanding of airborn transmission was reviewed, and mistakes were corrected. Science progresses, but sometimes it takes a while, alas.
