annoyed by all the epidemiologists saying covid is endemic now, when they weren't sounding the alarm that this would be the result of lack policies back then. you all should know who you are
still the main factor on how bad this is is the envelope of disease that can evolve

Most really did sound the alarm, though. And they were mostly ignored in the English-speaking world anyway.

I feel like I can count on one hand the number of epidemiologists that really made it a public platform that if we don't reach covid zero, it will establish reservoirs in the population which can mutate more transmissible / severe variants, or immune escape.

That's interesting. I'd love to go back and watch the narrative change. There was a big period of time though where the essential message was, "get this under control now, or you break healthcare" And we certainly have seen the consequences of that failure

abridged list of off-white lies: - masks don't work / save masks for front line - no evidence it's human to human - no evidence it's airborne - 'flatten the curve' - doesn't mutate much - mutations less severe - temp checks at borders work - rapid tests work early in infection

often when people say there's no evidence for something they mean it hasn't been analysed yet, or that it doesn't add up yet. there's usually not *zero* evidence. there was evidence of airborne transmission (circumstantial) in the Diamond Princess cruise ship off Japan. & HK
