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!

Yes, but saying that in response to someone asking for masks to return in healthcare settings is still something I hate. It doesn’t mean anything. It isn’t helpful. It’s never someone who agrees those precautions should be brought back.
I work in a healthcare setting, and we never dropped masks. All care givers, and all patients are masked. The boss actually studied microbiology. Turns out influenza, RSV, and corona virus are all active, still.
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.
That’s great to hear. Knowing there are still pockets of resistance is very heartening.
Sincerely, thank you for keeping up with it.
Ya, in that context, I would agree.
In the context of someone asking, “Is a mask required to attend?” I think it would make sense. We don’t do masking requirements anymore.
