    “COVID never went away — it’s circulating all the time.”

    @mdashaldebaran says COVID surprise is misplaced

    A post argues that people surprised to still be catching COVID in 2026 are overlooking that the virus has never stopped circulating.

    “Apparently people are surprised you can still get c*vid in 2026, which is odd because the virus never went away. It's circulating all the time even if you ignore it.”
