3. Ok. This freaks me out a little bit.

Read the whole thread. It's pretty disturbing.

4. China's zero-Covid lockdown is inane

Covid is already endemic

and I really wish people would stop repeating this misinformation.

6. Covid has been endemic for the vaccinated for a year now.

7. No, it is not

"For months, some American and European leaders have foretold that the coronavirus pandemic would soon become endemic. Covid-19 would resolve into a disease that we learn to live with. According to several governors, it nearly has.

But we are still in the acute phase of the pandemic, and what endemic Covid might look like remains a mystery. Endemic diseases can take many forms, and we do not know yet where this two-year-old disease will fall among them."

Long Haul Covid is NOT easily cured and the article does NOT say that. Talk about misinformation. In fact we know little about Long Haul Covid at this point.

10. Yes it is. See the definition. You of course supply none.

Covid is not a threat to the fully vaccinated. If we don't know much about long Covid it's because no one has a satisfactory definition. For the most part it is a condition that can be defined out of existence.
Give up. You lost this battle when the vaccine was invented.

9. Yes. Lock downs only flatten the curve.

They do not do anything to eliminate the virus.

State of the virus
Update for April 7

After two months of sustained declines, reports of new coronavirus cases in the United States have been generally flat in the past two weeks.
The outlook at the state level is mixed. New virus cases have increased recently in about half of all states and territories, particularly in the Northeast where the BA.2 subvariant is widespread. But cases have decreased in the other half of the states.
Even as case reports have leveled off some, coronavirus hospitalizations across the country have continued to decrease. Hospitalizations have fallen to an average of roughly 15,000 per day in the past two weeks, the lowest they have been since the first weeks of the coronavirus pandemic.
Deaths also remain on the decline. Around 600 deaths from Covid are being reported each day, a decrease of more than 75 percent from the peak in February amid the Omicron surge.
