So once upon a time, a long long time ago, The Experts (pbuh) let us know Covid might eventually become endemic. ie Vax or no, there is no stopping or ending the virus, instead it becomes a "manageable threat." Much like the now often cited 1918 Spanish Flu, which ofc never *poof* disappeared, but transitioned to the "manageable threat" of H1N1.

Last October

This month
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/what-will-it-be-like-when-covid-19-beco mes-endemic/

It didn't get much press at the time but earlier this summer Norway declared just this had happened.

And now Iowa (?!) has said the same.
http://www.kniakrls.com/2021/08/17/covid-19-classified-as-endemic/

The Iowa Department of Public Health has classified COVID-19 as endemic. Marion County Public Health Director Kim Dorn says this means it’s likely to not simply disappear.

“It is endemic in the population. What that means is it’s just expected to be there, kind of like the flu during flu season. I think people are hoping this will go away, but it’s not going to go away. Endemic means to assume it to be in the population, and that we’re going to have to learn to live with this.”

Marion County Public Health is no longer keeping track of case counts, and does not handle them on a case-by-case basis. Instead, they are working to provide general guidance for positive cases.

So what does endemic mean for us? Are mask mandates, lifelong yearly booster shots, vaccine passports, and travel restrictions just part of our everyday lives from here on, OR do the aforementioned regulations gradually peter out and we simply learn to accept that there is a new flu on the block?

I mean, it's kind of a duh. That is sort of the nature of single strand RNA viruses that mutate quickly and easily, and especially one that is part of the coronavirus family which is one of the more common and numerous family of viruses (along with the rhino) that has an affinity for human bodies.

I never once thought that all these mandates and measures were going to "stomp out" SARS-CoV-2. Not even if every single person followed all the "rules" and mandates to the letter and perfection. There really is no containing these kinds of viruses. We just get used to them over time, and adapt.

And viruses by nature tend to be more symbiotic like in their parasitical nature than some other pathogenic microbes. Meaning, they have a nature that doesn't seem like it just wants to outright kill all of its hosts, but rather more so coincide with them to perpetuate their own existence.

There are some groups of bacteria and parasites for example, that just don't seem to "give a bleep" and consequently are far more deadly, though also less easily transmitted and it takes major human mutation (or modern science) to deal effectively with them, like malaria.

But nature seems to have a balancing affect on itself in this way. The highly contagious microbes don't tend to be as deadly as the very deadly and less transmissible microbes. Geez, it's almost like nature tends towards balance, moderation, and harmony...

Except that in this case, humans purposely screwed with the whole pattern via genetic manipulation, and made a more transmissible microbe a bit more strong and deadly, in order to cause fear/panic.

And I don't buy for a moment that it was "accidentally" leaked. It was purposeful and on time. This is why the Federal Reserve made some major and seemingly out of the blue changes in policy back in September of 2019, as if seemingly precognitive and they knew some global economic stuff was going to happen.

Or rather, perhaps those super wealthy bankers and banks might know a little more about what goes on in the inside than us plebes? Perhaps they have more say in what happens than publicly elected politicians and officials? Nah, couldn't be, that sounds like too much of a "conspiracy theory" says the coincidence theorists.

Endemic is a "live with it for the foreseeable future" type issue.
Pandemic would end yet their mutating a naturally occurring "old" virus, it now is a wild card.

They played with the science end of it.
I have followed the lab stories for years.
After both working @a huge research facility long before now. I have with my own TWO EYEs seen and understood much behind the scenes. Even was dosed once with the Hong Kong flu. A flu that was older in viral episodes, when I came in contact, it hit me inexplicably after work. I was leathaly sick. I knew a lot of scientists there and think I unwittingly was a subject.


Due to my years working there my intellect did grow (reading med/science periodicals, befriending science minded ppl) and in my older days, like a boomerang, it helps me understand what is going on. With the Creator's gifted intuive-ness within.


. ... and reading in '95 The HotZone I have had an interest.

Both Georgia and up North from there the labs were in these years PRE bat (corona) stories, compromised. We have major medical scares that they have purposely let loose. And it DEFINITELY was organized. We truly are naive as a society to see or comprehend the entire scope of it. I believe the players were more than a root from project paperclip. Take that for what it's worth. I just want to say my piece - if you disagree that's fine. This comes from my actual experience to see maybe you (if you dispute it) can't.we each have our own ways of knowing (understanding) XY or Z.
Well this is my XYZ.


These viruses have been part of what has occurred after this last 20 years. We started with envelope deliveries of powders to politicians then. It went to bio warfare not long after. I think a Czech or Russian was poisoned between '99-2002. Memory not certain of the period. Uranium iir. Then the bio of choice was medical choice by these terrorists. Which aren't Muslim or any religion. Mind you, I know but I won't say. This pandemic/endemic we are living will remain and grow. They are going through the Greek alphabet. I have heard Astrology signs are next!


I hope she is WRONG but many seem to believe she's often correct.
