Masquerade as an insufferable lib until they turn 30. Dig a secret cold-war era bunker full of cool communist stuff in the basement for them to "discover" and keep as a secret from you.

A qualifying criterion for being endemic is the virus settles into seasonal patterns. Covid has been mutating too rapidly for that. Allowing it to be on the loose is anti-human.
Smallpox and polio were "here to stay" in the past. Containment of Covid with vaccines at this time doesn't look hopeful, but China already demonstrated, many times in a row, that Covid can be eradicated with the firebreak method, which has also seen use in the eradication of past diseases, efforts led primarily by the USSR and US. The eradication of Covid is not materially or physically impossible, it is just that neoliberalism runs contrary to gathering the necessary political will.
Since Covid continues to cause acute deaths more than is generally assumed, and since long Covid appears to follow in 1/5 to 1/4 of cases with the rate increasing with successive infections, and since long covid can entail anything from weird little changes to body functions up to ME/CFS, early heart disease, early cancer, cognitive decline, and immunodeficiency, it is absolutely a worthy effort to build that political will by any means.

Disability solidarity defines the left just as surely as Palestine solidarity or trans solidarity. Unchecked covid will make everyone disabled over time, and unchecked health chauvinism will make it easier to forget those who drop out of public life, whether by developing debilitating long covid conditions (acknowledged as such or not), or by adopting lonely precautions, or both.
Also masking makes it less simple for cops and cameras to ID you, and can be an accessible and immediate source of relief for trans people who want to conceal unwanted puberty effects on their face. The more people stubbornly mask, the more cover is offered to the most exposed and vulnerable, along multiple intersections.
When you wear a mask, you're wearing communism. When you refuse to wear a mask, you're wearing the emperor's new clothes 
Same energy as when people believe CIA claims, as if they're being briefed rather than, you know, psyoped. You are not invited to the briefings
