Upvoting you because I agree that some voices need to process the shift to endemic.

But I also agree with the tweet that low cost systematic changes should still be underway to lower overall viral burden, or soften the blow of the next pandemic.

I don’t know if HEPA filters in public institutions is actually effective, so I suppose the argument hinges on that; is there actually low hanging fruit like that?

Oh, I agree with that too! That should just be a normal thing, enabling kids to still learn together with their peers. I was so damn glad when the restrictions were lifted, because I saw the awful effect social segregation was having on my kids. For offices, remote work should be a right for any job where it's possible and not something out feudal lords have to grant.

Working with preschoolers, there was a point last year where I realized that every single kid I work with was born post-Covid. It was a wild relevation, but since part of my job is teaching social skills, at least these kids won’t skip a beat because of it. I just feel for their older siblings.

Where do you get the information that it's endemic when the WHO are saying it's still a pandemic?
