Endemic has a specific meaning - that there is an expected number of cases in a given population.

That's not really established for COVID-19.

Also, endemic doesn't mean something doesn't matter. In much of Africa, malaria is endemic.

What you mean is "As a society we stopped caring."

Not necessarily, endemic might mean that it matters, but those who are especially at risk are taking more precautions.

E.g. I see lots of young not wearing masks to protect themselves, and I see more older people protecting themselves with masks. Seems like a reasonable balance.

Pandemic means it is endemic "everywhere."

It does not describe severity. Ebola is endemic in parts of Africa. I still hope nobody gets it.

We can change the meanings of words for political reasons but who do we do a disservice too?

Given that it is a word from my mother language I find it a bit insulting when politicians decide to change my language though to benefit for a year or two.

Tl;Dr: Saying that covid is "endemic" to the whole world, is an insult to my ears, logic, and a whole language and people. They should pick a different word if they want to disagree with doctors worldwide.
