Ford should be pilloried for eliminating wastewater surveillance. But the notion we aren’t post-pandemic in a meaningful way is nonsense. The very fact that viral counts are as high but excess deaths have dropped almost to zero is a *good* thing. Vaccines work. Flattening the curve worked.
That is a very foolish take… all of the deaths from the heart disease, strokes, cancers etc etc that covid continues to contribute to should be counted but aren’t. The data is biased to make you think it’s all good.
I’m not denying long Covid but many viruses can have long term effects and countless people suffered from them before and after Covid. We need better air quality and surveillance but pretending nothing has improved is counterproductive.
This is a truly foolish take that flies in the face of the ramifications of continuing and multiple infections people are getting. This isn't over by a long shot.
