in that it’s endemic now. It will never be over. That’s what a disease is.

Not what any of that means either.

But realistically it is over, because it’s not currently killing off a third of Europe (right now, inshallah), because we can treat it.

The only treatment that exists for anything COVID-related is for symptoms, and the vaccination just means you probably won't die of acute illness anymore. There is no evidence the virus is ever cleared from the body, vaccinated or otherwise.

The Bubonic Plague comparison is nonsense. It is not even "realistically over" because COVID is still something like the third most transmitted disease around, period, and is the most transmitted for children!

So everywhere, all the time? I have to use the same buses, go to the same grocery stores, and work the same jobs as everyone else. Unless you think people like me only exist sometimes, in some places? Or do you mean that everyone can tell with complete certainty at a glance who is particularly at risk?

This is such a weird instance of agreeing with the right things (sort of) for all of the wrong reasons. You should wear a mask if you feel sick, but also if you don't, because modern strains of COVID manifest asymptomatically for nearly half of all infections, and masking is just as much a preventative measure for illness, too, not just reactive.
