Could COVID-19 become endemic, and what would that mean?

Even as vaccines roll-out across Canada and the world, there are still questions on what the world will look like once most people are vaccinated.

Some health experts say COVID-19 could become endemic, meaning it will constantly circulate among us and be a fact of our daily lives from a public health perspective.

Sean Previl takes a look at what COVID-19 becoming endemic means for the future.

This was always going to be the case. The media never talked about it when it mattered.

[neemuzano]

Next 30 years, people will be telling the boss or the teacher "I think I got Covid" just to skip work or school.

After spending billions... we came to this conclusion everybody knew from the beginning. wow

Global News, this is an ideal time for you to finally start talking about the abuses of the people of Hong Kong by China's communist government, the Uyghurs in China's concentration camps, and China's refusal to recognize Taiwan as a nation. Glad to see Global News and the mainstream media are refusing to ignore these important issues any longer, as they have been doing before now.

The world must be laughing at our media. This is quite pathetic

I just came back from one of the biggest hospitals in Toronto and they said their not overwhelmed it was actually empty

[kevinjhonson]

bad times come and they go nothing stays the same forever. People can adapt to almost anything this will pass and with time we will go back to normal.

That people are not as stupid as the elites think

[stefanpedias]

This lie needs to be addressed with Nuremberg type trials for anyone who pushed for lockdowns, vaccines or masks

[michaelfitzsimmons]

Welcome to the scaredemic. This will be over as soon as folks aren't scared of it. Just my opinion.

[Mullet-ZubazPants]

"Could" ... "What if" ... "It's only a matter of time" ...

This kind of journalism is the absolute worst, and is designed to evoke fear

[trashpanda]

If everyone is just going to get it anyways just open everything up and stop this lockdown nonsense

[TLHockeyCards]

Endemic means it turns into what a cold is now. Such a joke

[IbizaPlay]

And this is why i don't own a TV or read a newspaper.

It’s whatever the technocrats wants it to be.

Literally watching this Dec 31 2021 realizing thats totally whats happening and its not leaving. The CDC is struggling to keep an agenda on what to do next. The numbers for omicron are insaaane, and im saying this finding out my county doesnt have good teating measures and is completely overwhelmed with cases.

Im currently in my bed with covid and my entire plumbing company got wiped out and sent home with it aswell.

[stlaydii]

It’s funny that people who said this from the beginning were labelled “conspiracy theorists”..

2:47 “Things will largely get back to normal as 2021 rolls on”
Welp things just got worse again.😂

[jamiesiple]
