WHO declares the global #covid health emergency over and adds:

"The worst thing any country can do now is to use this news as a reason to let down its guard, to dismantle the systems it has built, or to send the message to its people that Covid-19 is nothing to worry about,"

I don't know man, I think that ship has sailed, don't you? 😞

Anyway fucking awesome to see the WHO cave like that. I really hope for everyone's sake they don't end up eating those words due to long covid and increasing population level disability over the next 5-10 years
@eniko any idea of the new vaccine is out yet for that new strain that apparently gives 40-year-olds and up heart attacks? People are kind of acting like it's normal around here again and I'm on the few people that still tries to mask up... I just really don't want to die and I keep getting allergies because it's spring now and I'm always worried is this cough in my throat hurting covid or is there Scotch broom laying around nearby?
@Sciencetastic as far as I know there is no vaccine that will prevent long covid reliably, sorry
