| Comment | So, then, perhaps it's important to consider the wide spectrum of what 'endemic' means, and that Covid could be endemic in the sense of measles (massively infectious but almost entirely suppressed in the West by an incredibly effective vaccination campaign and case management) or even Polio (effectively non-existent by a huge coordinated multi-decadal campaign across the globe) rather than in the sense of flu?
It's pointless to extrapolate from existing diseases, because Covid is like none of them. The nature of Covid's 'endemic' nature is what we choose it to be, and I hope that, unless you're proposing curtailing life expectancy by 1 to 2 decades and writing off the quarter of the population with co-morbidities, that flu is not your baseline for success. |
