How to use endemic in a sentence?

1. Mike Pompeo:

   The peaceful demonstrations and expressions of national unity over the last 13 days have sent a clear message. The Lebanese people want an efficient and effective government, economic reform, and an end to endemic corruption.

2. Scott Davison:

   If he survives the recall, we have very little doubt that we'll have a lot more quarantines and school closures again, it's pretty clear at this point that COVID is an endemic, seasonal virus. We fully anticipate that there will be a winter surge. I have very little doubt that if he remains governor, he's going to keep the kids in masks and keep the restrictions in place.

3. Eleanor Janega:

   The desire to be' accurate' suddenly disappears when sex isn't involved and it is actual interesting day to day minutiae, if the(' Game of Thrones') world was historically accurate, why isn't every single noble house or castle absolutely covered by huge gaudy, colourful murals ? Why is it that this form of historical accuracy isn't important, but showing rape as endemic is ?

4. Tim Davenport:

   Along with our discoveries of the Kipunji, Matilda's horned viper and other reptiles and frogs, this new chameleon really seals the deal as regards the boundary of the Eastern Arcs, it is very clear now that the so-called Makambako Gap doesn't exist zoologically, and that the Southern Highlands is every bit as biodiverse and endemic-rich as all other Eastern Arc Mountains. With its own unique fauna and flora the region thus warrants as much protection as we can possibly afford it.

5. Paul Hunter:

   Even though case numbers are rising quite rapidly at present, possibly as a consequence of celebrations around the Euros [ soccer tournament ], I still think it would be safer to lift restrictions now than in the autumn. The disease burden associated with a larger peak during the summer would likely be less than one during the winter, of course we have seen new issues appear during the course of this epidemic and so no one can be certain of the challenges over coming months, but we will eventually come into an equilibrium with this virus as we have with all the other endemic respiratory infections.
