[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And, all of you, enjoy taking your masks off and exposing these grocery store workers you aren't tipping anyhow to Covid. [/quote]

So never unmask, right?  Covid will be around for our lifetimes. [/quote]

No, will eventually become endemic like the flu and kill significantly fewer people. But, whatever, you obviously haven't been paying attention.

Again, enjoy unmasking in the grocery stores and retail stores and whenever else public you go and increasing exposure to the workers. That's a whole lot worse than being a "miser." [/quote]

You seem confused about why Covid will kill fewer people as it becomes endemic. It quite likely will not get less virulent- Delta is already very infectious early in the disease progression, so a less deadly version probably wouldn't have a competitive advantage in transmission. Instead, two things will happen. First, the spread will slow down a bit. We're not sure how much, particularly given that the vaccines are about 80% effective at preventing infection. So, there's still a very good chance you'll be repeatedly exposed to Covid throughout your life.

Second, individuals will develop their own immunity over time, or die trying.

It doesn't particularly matter whether you get Covid now or 5 years from now. Provided you've been vaccinated, the outcome would likely be the same.[/quote]
