You're misrepresenting what I'm saying. I put "epidemic" in quote marks for the reason you suggest. The argument that an epidemic ends when people get used to it is in itself nonsense. You need declining severity to an acceptable baseline too, and there's no guarantee that will happen with COVID. I mean you wouldn't replace a vaccination campaign with a "just get used to it" campaign, right? Although many people have actually tried to suggest that now that I think about it...
