Without saying “endemic” or “but it’s mild now” explain how this is “post-Covid” or in any way acceptable.
Oh, no. You’re going to say “it’s never going away and we just have to live with it,” aren’t you? Do you want to be sent links to Long Covid studies and sites everyday for the foreseeable future as a reminder that by trying to absolve yourself of virus mitigation responsibility, yes, for millions of people, Covid never goes away and they just have to live with the nasty souvenirs from an infection?

@thatkatharine living with HIV: widespread use of condoms and STD tests becomes the social norm and anyone not accepting that is a selfish asshole.

Living with COVID: uuuh ummm well I guess stay home if you're feeling sick, maybe?? Unless it's something important like a big concert?

@dngrs @thatkatharine also living with COVID: "what's that on your face? Why are you wearing it? Would you be willing to take it off so I can see your mouth? No, I don't need to read your lips, I just think it's rude to cover them"
