What is an "Endemic" Disease? An Epidemiologist Explains

At this point in the pandemic, many people are wondering if it’s safe to ditch mask-wearing in schools, offices, and other indoor places, or if #COVID19 will ever fade away. According to Boston University epidemiologist Ellie Murray, the answer is complicated—and very much depends on the actions we take collectively. Even if COVID19 transitions from a pandemic to an endemic disease—where infections occur in seasonal or predictable cycles, like the flu—that does not necessarily mean we’ll be mask-free or that vaccinations will no longer be needed. So, will COVID19 ever shift from a pandemic to an endemic? And what’s even the difference? BU epidemiologist Ellie Murray explains how the two differ from one another, and how we might deal with COVID in the future.
