Covid-19 will never become an endemic illness and will always behave like an epidemic virus, an expert in biosecurity has warned.

I need to stop looking at this shit, it doesn’t help :doomer:

Somewhat relatedly, what this tweet’s is suggesting is sobering. From the replies:

The image says that infection waves will come faster and faster as time proceeds, that variants will multiply faster and faster and eventually this leads to entropy (utter chaos). In your real life situation it will mean constant infection with multiple variants of SARS-COV-2.

I’m gonna have a drink, I think.

    This is spot on.

    They even sort of acknowledge this at the bottom of the article in a shitty both-sides way without directly connecting it to money:

    WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said last week that there was a chance that Covid could be ended as a global health emergency this year if the right course of action — which includes addressing vaccine and health-care inequity — is taken. His comments came a week after another senior WHO official warned that “we won’t ever end the virus” and that “endemic does not mean ‘good,’ it just means ‘here forever.’”
