Endemic disease should mean PERMANENT infection controls. Where malaria is endemic, they don’t stop using mosquito nets — the use of mosquito nets is standard and often mandated.
The evolution of language. American Lung Association: “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.” Wealthy Elites: “Endemic means you regular folks have to put up and shut up while repeatedly getting sick with a disruptive preventable infectious disease because mitigations would inconvenience tycoons, the fossil fuel industry, tech asset bubbles, various chambers of commerce, control freak middle managers, propagandized right-wingers, and of course, commercial real estate interests.”
