Will COVID-19 become “endemic”?

In the last post, I talked about COVID-19 possibly becoming endemic. I am still hoping to write more about it, including some mathsy stuff, but in the meantime, here is a really good Twitter thread including a reference to a blog post on this topic:

1/ There's been a lot of talk about Covid-19 becoming "endemic".

Which means it circulates normally.

It doesn't mean "trivial" or unimportant.

(Long thread.)
