Where is this idea that we don't track it? We just don't see it on TV. I got covid in September and was called and emailed by Fla. Dept. of Health. It is not like everyone with the flu takes a test that goes to the government.
We track what we can, but it is just part of life at this point.

> just how much of a failure our society has become.
Failing from keeping a virus that is many times more contangious than the FLU or common cold from being endemic is not a failure of socieity.
We basically shut down the world for a few months, and that did not work. It would have had to be a complete martial law, lock down, for months, no flights, no shopping, no school, no work, nothing. Not even take out dinner.
The virus was always coming for us. Lockdowns were just to keep numbers down, and not overwhelm healthcare facilities.
The virus will always be around, and has been becoming less and less severe, hopefully that trend continues.

I went to a PCR test ran by Miami-Dade County in September. Was positive, got a call from the Florida Dept. of Health the next day.
The numbers are a lot higher, but with vaccinations, and prior infections, serious illness is not showing as much, and tons of people just never test, or just test at home. People are more worried about the FLU and RSV right now.

Looks like a Wednesday storm/rain. Tuesday so far showing fine.
Early voting has been going on for 2-weeks now, today is the last day. Nothing wrong with voting on election day, but early voting could not be easier. Especially that first Saturday zero lines.

Exactly, which is what is happening with COVID.
