WHO about to declare an end to the pandemic? (suspect, Minnesota, retired)

There are still wearers who are out there, even in cars. Strangely they always look the same.

You're supposed to wear a mask while driving a car! What is the matter with you?

Seriously tho, I've always wondered about that since day 1. Wear a mask in a crowded store, ok I understand. But inside a car by yourself or with your family that you live with? What's the point?

Back in 2020 I was told that they were wearing a mask in the car because it could come in the air vents.

Essentially meaning the transition from the acute phase to the endemic phase of the Pandemic.

xoe is, laughably, using the 'covid emergency' to justify his student loan forgiveness - despite the fact that he said himself that the pandemic was over.

seems like this move by the WHO would put the final nail in xoe's student loan forgiveness coffin.

And of course Biden continues to make sure the US is a follower not a leader and is planning to end the COVID "emergency"... on May 11th

We entered the "endemic" stage a long time ago.

It would always have to be a guess, and even then a period of transition at least months in this case. Looking back is much easier.

Actually, the WHO is the only one that has an authority to make that call. I think part of the problem on why it's taking so long is because China messed it up with their zero Covid policy and strict lockdown. Now the country is in a mess right now due to the lack immunity in the population. So, the WHO can't end the pandemic from global standpoint until all countries get their acts together.

Then what's to stop it from coming into the vents of your house? Should we mask at home then?
