You'll likely see news coverage celebrating the fact that the WHO declared the COVID-19 pandemic over, this is an utterly misleading representation of the WHO's statement.

The WHO said the pandemic is over because COVID-19 is now ENDEMIC because we've failed to contain it so spectacularly that it's just something we have to deal with like the flu, which is not good news, it's literally the worst possible news. They actively warned people not to misunderstand and let their guards down because of their statement, which the way their announcement was presented by mainstream media is exactly what people are doing.

For the love of god please be safe out there, every time you catch COVID you're rolling the dice and your odds get worse every time.

Even this is a misstatement! The WHO said that COVID no longer represents a “global state of emergency”, which is a step towards ending the pandemic but does not mean the end of the pandemic.

HIV would be an example of another virus the WHO considers to be an active pandemic but not currently causing a state of emergency.

(I say this not to be argumentative or to “well-actually” you, but to emphasize just how miserable and minimizing their communication is!!)
