California officials will unveil Thursday a plan for coexisting with the coronavirus, which scientists say is likely to be around for the foreseeable future.

The plan presumes the most populous state is entering an endemic stage, where the virus still exists in a community but becomes manageable as immunity builds.

"The focus is going to be being prepared and being ready," California's health secretary, Dr. Mark Ghaly, said Monday in presaging the announcement.

Oh geez, they are all so full of BS. Most people have moved on. Now if those clowns in power would just shut the heck up and leave people alone.

Mainly it will not be better, because — although there may be relaxation of some restrictions — they hare hard-coding the myth that “this thing will be a spectre forever, and we can NEVER go back.”

Nevermind all the flu variants — you know, OTHER upper respiratory viruses that aren’t named “COVID” — that come and go and morph and make “the flu shot” almost as effective as a screen door on a submarine.

Personally, I’m cheering for The Rider on The Pale Horse to get here, first. At least HE’LL make the theatrics worth watching.

I expect we’ll see more of this shift from the pandemic by Dems, all in time for Biden to declare victory over Covid in the upcoming State of the Union.

My two CA teens have not yet been able to “move on.” One in private high school is still masked 7 hours a day. So is my college freshman. I’m hopeful that whatever Newsom says tomorrow inches freedom forward.
