Heart-disease risk soars after Covid, even with a mild case

Epidemiologically, endemic is that the rates of disease are within expectation - for example, there's a statistical threshold for flu every year. There can still be swings - seasonal diseases for example.

There is no sane universe where COVID-19 is endemic from an epidemiological standpoint.

It also doesn't imply that we should stop doing things.

Thanks for the clarification.

I'd add that endemic also doesn't mean mild.
