I don't think they'll admit defeat, I think they'll claim victory.

That's not what happens in history with pandemics. It doesn't go on forever. Otherwise, we'd never come out of anything from the past illnesses.

Do they mean in every scenario including when tens of thousands are visiting the same destination each day? Or like... your neighborhood grocery store.
Theme parks are very much still their own animal, where a lot can (and has) spiral out of control.

Monmouth poll: "It’s time we accept that Covid is here to stay, and we just need to get on with our lives."
70% Agree
Missouri hospitals across the state are asking staff members and admin to take on extra duties to help RNs deal with the surge in Civic patients. Some should try walking in the shoes of our heroes, the health care workers.

I've been getting on with my life. Wearing a mask in a theme park is incredibly far from not living life.

Sounds like something the residents of Missouri might want to do something about. Masking toddlers in Orlando isn't going to ease the strain on hotels in Missouri.

How old are your kids?
Speaking about the little ones , a two shot Pfizer vaccine is not far behind. Pending FDA emergency approval , little ones under 5 can roll up their sleeves in a few weeks.

But many won't be. The uptake will be less than the 5-11 group.
- Nationally, more than a quarter (28.1%) of 5-11 year-olds had received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose as of January 18, 2022. This represents just over 8 million of the approximately 28 million children in this age group in the United States. Given the two dose Pfizer regimen, administered three weeks apart, and the need for a two-week period afterward to be considered to have completed the vaccine series, just 18.8% of children have reached this point.

The little kids don't get seriously ill from it in the first place. But a vaccine available to everyone should appease the people whose last remaining argument about why we still need masking is "BUT WHAT ABOUT THE LITTLE KIDS!?"
28% in the last 14 days for the 1st dose is a good start for ages 5-11 but the naysayers may say not good enough.

It has been approved since October 29 2021. Many parents have chosen not to vaccinate this age group.
The mentality of choosing not to get vaccinated ages 5-11 and adults not willing to get shots of that attitude is similar. Kids group that leads in more vaccinated is of New England states and the states that have poor vaccination kids numbers are the deep Southern states. This rings a bell on how some adults in different parts of the country feel about getting the vaccine.

... and the poll cited above agrees with you..
Time to Accept Covid and Move On? | Monmouth University Polling Institute
Americans still concerned about virus, but lose faith in federal measures
www.monmouth.edu
"he latest Monmouth (“Mon-muth”) University Poll finds a majority of the public continues to support some preventative measures, such as face mask and social distancing guidelines, but not others, such as workplace vaccine mandates."
Perhaps if they recognized the anti-mandate staff members as heroes too and allowed them to work, they wouldn't be understaffed and facing these issues.
How about the recent meta analysis done by Johns Hopkins that shows lockdowns and social distancing had nearly 0% effectiveness on reducing covid deaths but DID have devastating effects on society.... and the poll cited above agrees with you..

I'll take Johns Hopkins over Monmouth.
Missouri challenged that and rightly lost. SCOTUS has ruled on that recently and must be followed.
"What about the children" is a common last ditch effort of a failing narrative.
Indeed. And the hospital staff and its patients will suffer the consequences while able bodied men and women idly stand by.
