Yukon to move from pandemic to endemic for COVID
Finally, some common sense is being shown by politicians. This is no longer a pandemic that is a threat to our health care system or public safety. Time to move on and learn to live with it like any other seasonal flu/cold.
And Dr. Elliott is right..people have to stop with the Hysteria that the MSM has created and stop being so fearful.

WHITEHORSE — The Yukon government has set out its framework for moving from the pandemic to an endemic approach, treating COVID-19 much like the flu.
Acting chief medical officer of health Dr. Catherine Elliott said it is important not to overwhelm the system by mass screening or unnecessary use of testing.
"Therefore, our testing guidance carefully lays out when testing is needed," she said during a news conference.
"For the most part, it will still be business as usual, get tested when you are sick, or when you are asked to do so by a health-care provider."
Silver noted that COVID-19 has unequal impacts on different segments of the population including women, children and those in vulnerable positions.
"We cannot move forward without keeping all this in mind," he said.
"We shaped 'Forging Ahead' with the knowledge that social connection, physical and mental health, and economic vitality are fundamental to how we need to move on with our recovery and beyond."
Elliott said the strict rules that everyone has become used to will be removed and people will have to learn to be less fearful.
