COVID 19 pandemic status
Hello everyone, I'm putting a comprehensive request to completely change COVID 19 pandemic status from 2019-2023 to 2019-present in bold format because this pandemic is not over unless we come up with comprehensive way to clean the air with comprehensive iqAir system that filters out coronavirus particles, far uvc 222 air disinfection indoors and crowded areas outdoors, and find new ways to prevent near field transmission via upgrades to infrastructure for example smart devices that use AI that sensors and kills germs from being spread via close contact.
We have seen anti-maskers posting repeated changes of this wikipedia link for COVID 19 pandemic from 2019-present to 2019-2023 which absolutely does not make the COVID 19 pandemic disappear because saying its over does not make it over.

- I already have sourced it from WHO which clearly states that the Pandemic is not over, we know that Pandemic is still not over by WHO and I believe that we have to take this threat very seriously. Covid 19 is still disabling everyone regardless of lifestyle and I have already had one source provided from who still saying the Pandemic is still not over.
- Families need to be able to know that it’s okay to mask up and saying Pandemic is over doesn’t make the problem go away.
