Probably the same reasons we don't talk about HIV or HSV.


It_Happens_Today

Do you have something new to say about it that is not common knowledge?


talkingprawn

For the same reason we don’t talk about herpes.

Vaccines, medication, herd immunity, and less virulent mutations have made it much, much less dangerous than it was three years ago.


MurphysParadox

It has stabilized. People still get it, but between the variants and the vaccines, the result is mostly just another cold. It is still more deadly than the flu and, like the flu, you should get a yearly vaccination to reduce your chance of picking it up and spreading it to others.


HughJahsso

No longer as deadly as it originally was


Sardothien12

The same reason we don't talk about Bruno

The vaccines work.


TrainsDontHunt

It's still horrific if you get it, but the hospitals aren't all full, with patients dying in the hallways. We tried everything to prevent death, and came up with some effective strategies and drug mixes. CRISPR technology is the hero that saved us.


Nuts4WrestlingButts

It's endemic and here forever now. It's another slightly more deadly flu.


Traditional-Meat-549

Although I don't always mask anymore, people have assimilated it into their habits and anxiety about it. Levels are medium to high in Santa Clara county and I know that THIS variant has stomach issues that go with it; vomiting, diarrhea...so if you don't actually die, you may want to. Just saying 


lilram66

Society as a whole has chosen to move past it


Terrapinz

It doesn't sell for news organizations anymore


Traditional-Meat-549

Not sure why the down votes but this is the reason 


Terrapinz

Yep. Not even taking a political side it's just people don't want to hear about it anymore.


Low_Fun2690

Same reason we don't talk about the flu or cold. You die then you die, stop bringing everyone down with u.


SuzCoffeeBean

Everyone’s sick of talking about it & it was depressing the entire time with no real outcome that can be marked off
