'Endemic' Doesn't Mean What You Think It Does
HuffPost
Omicron may make COVID an endemic disease. But "endemic" and "back to normal" are two very different things.
Health officials have been warning for months that COVID-19 isn’t going away; instead, it’s much more likely to become endemic here in the United States and abroad. Many also believe the highly contagious omicron variant, which continues to drive up case counts around much of the country, could get us there.
While moving from our current pandemic to an endemic state certainly sounds like a move in the right direction, health experts also caution that it doesn’t necessarily mean what people think it does. It’s certainly not the “normal” reality people lived up until 2019. Nor is our path to endemicity clear cut.
