I find the assertion that COVID-conscious people somehow want to be in a "forever pandemic" really presumptuous. I haven't met a single person who ACTIVELY WANTS to remain in isolation forever. That's actually the opposite of what we want!
There ARE options between "zero COVID" and letting it rip. Harm reduction is the approach here - COVID may be here to stay, but the constant floods of infections don't have to be. There are simple and effective ways to mitigate transmission and make our environments safer!
Every COVID-conscious and high-risk person I know understands the consequences of isolation. We have all been forced to make choices between our health and our desire to be a part of our communities. These two things don't have to be mutually exclusive.
What most of us are trying to say is not that we want to stay in a forever pandemic, but that this has BECOME a forever pandemic for us. We have lives, hobbies, passions, and dreams just like you. The world is a better place with us in it. All you need to do is let us back in.
Nice 😎
