A patient in Louisiana has been hospitalized with a severe case of H5N1 bird flu, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said, the first such case in the United States.
as someone who still masks, its beyond depressing to see half my family and friends written off even by communists as “acceptable losses.”
like even, basically all the communists ime, online and offline, are antimaskers. They might say or think that they aren’t but in practice, they are antimaskers. They refuse to wear masks; they go to restaurants (and invite others); they host superspreading home parties and go to concerts and to dance classes and clubs and bars and on and on with not a single thought for their own health, much less those with weaker immune systems–and if any of this is brought up they look offended, like it’s YOUR fault there’s a plague and YOURE in the wrong for not wanting to die or spread death to ur family.
Communist here, I never stopped masking, and I force my immediate family to mask also. I have virtually no social life and will not do dinner parties unless they are outdoors.
I’m sorry for this question, but isn’t it the opinion of most health professionals at this moment that covid is in the process of becoming an endemic disease and that it will stay with us in the long term?
No. Endemic does not mean what you think it is does in a medical context. Yes it’s probably never going away, but no it is not going to be endemic in that it will just be a background disease that never spikes.
Also, does something never go away suddenly make it okay in your eyes to give yourself a disease that will likely either:
kill you
give you brain damage and/or other serious health issues for what is likely going to be a much shorter, harsher life than if you had taken precautions
Like how does, “it’s not going away” equal “i guess I should just give up and get airborne aids over and over again until it ruins or ends my life.”

Antimaskers won.

When will you feel comfortable with an indoor dinner party, once COVID is eradicated?
yes.
yes.
yes.
yes.

Sorry, I’m really asking this out of ignorance.
