Why does this paper begin, "The covid pandemic is over..."? That is untrue.

Haven't we crossed over into "endemic" status?

"Though an endemic is a constant presence in a community, it differs from a pandemic because the virus is somewhat contained and not spreading out of control and not stressing the health care infrastructure, therefore we can more easily prevent and treat it."

My understanding is saying the "pandemic is over" doesn't mean "COVID is no longer dangerous/problematic," rather "it's endemic ('manageable.')" Unfortunately, however, MOST people hear "the pandemic is over" and think that means "I don't have to care about COVID any more" - which sucks =\
