Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

      I think I understand what you’re getting at but just keep in mind that there are two sort of separate discussions in regards to that.

      The WHO and the health organization of various countries are usually pretty specific in their definitions. The “public health emergency” of COVID is over because:

      • There is no longer a need for a coordinated international effort.

      • The population is no longer largely at risk due to vaccinations/immunities.

      • The mortality rate has dropped significantly.

      But I don’t think anyone would deny that COVID is here to stay on a global scale. It’s just that the health systems of most countries are now equipped to manage it without all of the lockdown precautions.

        I get where you’re coming from, but only the first bullet point is factory accurate.The active strains have escaped immunity due to rapid and unmitigated mutation.

      I don’t wanna be that guy, but technically that’s not an unpopular opinion.

      It’s an unpopular fact.
