No, but it still means the pandemic is over. The flu is endemic too, and many other diseases are as well. What really would help is if those people who are sick would wear masks when they enter publicly accessible buildings or talk to people. That’s pretty much the main reason why those diseases persist. But people already failed to do that during the pandemic, which is how it became endemic.

And yes, people are insane. We see this on their voting behavior too. And now we’re gonna slide into a climate collapse. Because that’s apparently what we want, as long as we can pretend to be a little comfortable for a while longer.
