And yet most people stopped masking for no real reason whatsoever. Now what?
No reason? In my area the health authority relaxed their suggested action to “stay home with any suspect symptoms”
Sure I see the value In masks, especially when I am the sick one, but public messaging from professionals has certainly changed.
But what’s the reasoning? There isn’t any. COVID is still as present as ever.
Source? Total infections, and especially total hospitalizations are much reduced from a year or more ago.

Scroll down to the weekly graph, going back to 2020
That data is almost meaningless since governments at all levels stopped recording and reporting pandemic data. Of course things will look like they’ve gotten better if you just pretend the problem doesn’t exist.
It’s an infant’s solution to the crisis. Covid went away because our leaders decided object permanence is for losers.
Lol mmk, as if the CDC doesn’t document their collection methods
Watch out for the 5g
From September 2022:
The number of reported Covid cases is currently a quarter of what it was at its peak last winter. But Chris Murray, director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, estimates that only 4% to 5% of infections are being reported, because so many are uncovered through at-home tests and aren’t reported to public health departments, or they aren’t being detected at all.
The decline in PRC testing and a shift to at-home tests also leaves public health officials increasingly flying blind with regard to the spread of infections because few at-home test results are reported to public health departments, unlike with laboratory tests.
bro, your sources are just as good.
Deaths are a very small fraction from the US height in Oct 2021.
Yet disabilities keep climbing, right in step with warnings about covid’s long-term effects: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNU00074597
But we’re not testing so we don’t really know, and it’s still really bad to get COVID even if you live. You don’t want any virus.
Did you read the article? The virologist interviewed basically said that we shouldn’t panic and I’m a month or two we will likely forget about the variant.
I swear I just saw an interview with the leader of WHO and he said the same tracking protocol is working as it was in the past, proving this is not groundbreaking or scary. But maybe that was the last variant? Ugh.
