Covid is still killing a significant number of people across the world. This is despite a significant drop in testing and surveillance: less people are tested and they might never be formally diagnosed with covid; less data are openly reported by states.
The pandemic isn't over.
The safety measures against covid we have seen used at the prominent WEF forum in Davos, clearly show the global elite don't think the pandemic is over, either. They remain concerned about covid and are going to great extents to protect themselves from infection
Yet, these safety measures like air filters and pre-entry Covid tests aren't available to most people, including, often, in high-risk settings like healthcare, where we're at our most vulnerable. Many aren't fully aware of the airborne nature of SARS2 and can't protect themselves
The covid safety measures used by the global elite in Davos have been discussed in the press (e.g. attached). If you want to know more, you can also follow hashtags like #DavosSafe
and #DavosStandard. The double standard is staggering

Multiple indicators, including covid cases, excess deaths and official covid deaths, show, factually, that the pandemic isn't over. Covid remains a severe threat. Denying that the pandemic is ongoing is denying reality and backtracking from the scientific evidence
We have vaccination, true, but vaccination isn't perfect. You can be infected by SARS-CoV-2 and in some cases suffer from severe disease even if you're vaccinated. #LongCovid remains a threat. Not everyone in the world is vaccinated or boosted, by the way, including children
Covid cases go down but then grow again across the world. We have tragic reports of a devastating wave in China. Multiple countries, including the US, are reporting hundreds or thousands official covid deaths a week. Covid is, factually, not a "mild", "endemic" disease

We know scientifically SARS-CoV-2 is a dangerous, airborne SARS virus which is estimated to have killed 15 to 20 million people. Hundreds of millions have experienced #LongCovid including life-threatening outcomes like cardiovascular and thrombotic events.
We have all seen, I hope, footage from hotspots and countries like Wuhan, Bergamo, New York, Madrid, Brazil and India. Anyone denying how dangerous this SARS virus is either poorly informed or has an agenda. We need to curb transmission and put this pandemic under control
Bibliography as usual. Estimated covid deaths based on excess deaths by the WHO: 15 million people in the first two years of the pandemic alone

Guess when we discovered that covid had a massive cardiovascular and thrombotic potential? Yes, at the very beginning of the pandemic in 2020. Guess when we discovered these problems extended into #LongCovid? Yes, very soon, already in spring to summer/autumn 2020
Some bibliography. I have done a lot of threads on this topic citing both a lot of literature, and individual case studies, so I will add just some papers here to provide evidence for the thread
a case of "acute myocardial inflammation in a patient COVID-19 who recovered from the influenzalike syndrome and developed fatigue and signs and symptoms of heart failure a week after upper respiratory tract symptoms."

53, no prior known commorbities

No, we didn't discover #LongCovid a couple of days ago. We have known since 2020. Letting a SARS virus rip is a derailed strategy. It was clear early in the pandemic. Did you think the disease that devastated Wuhan and Bergamo was harmless, maybe dangerous only in the old?
At the beginning of the coronavirus emergency, Wuhan, China, had, reportedly, to build a new hospital in 10 days, to deal with the severe influx of patients. We saw the footage on television. This wasn't a "mild flu" or a "cold"

On 18 March 2020, the Italian Army had to take the coffins of the covid victims out of Bergamo, Italy: there were so many deaths the local crematorium couldn't cope even working 24/7. In hard hit Lombardy, healthcare and the morgues were overwhelmed

How many people are aware that #LongCovid was openly recognized by the WHO in August 2020 and the multi-system, cardiovascular and thrombotic devastating potential of covid was already well known in early to mid 2020?
How many people know that many countries like the UK and Italy started to formally recognize #LongCovid between late 2020 and 2021, producing formal guidelines? How many people know that Long Covid is a multi-system disease which is detailed as such in a vast number of papers?
How many people know that covid/ #LongCovid are among the most studied diseases in history and were being studied and addressed in great detail already in 2020 and early 2021? How many people know that patients are responsible for many key discoveries on the disease?

Masks make a difference in preventing infection. SARS-CoV-2 is airborne. It spreads and lingers into the air. Crowded indoor spaces are especially dangerous. If it's possible for you, try to protect yourself as far as you can. It's a very infectious virus. Covid isn't a cold
Saying crowded indoor spaces are especially dangerous doesn't mean other situations are harmless, of course. Please be careful. Ventilation, "clean air", mask use, have certain activities outdoor instead than indoor, avoid crowding, etc. can help lower your risk of infection
Double masking (i.e. when everyone in a space wears a mask, especially an high quality mask) is safer than single masking (when only one person wears a mask, but not the others). "Clean air" practices like ventilation is also critical to lower your risk of infection.
