Look at the UK, probably now one of the most open countries in the world, a mixture of a good vaccine roll out and herd immunity. They are saying 85% of the population now has anti-bodies. Only restriction is on overseas travel, you don't even have to isolate if in contact Almost a month now open and deaths and hospital admissions are low. Went to London for a few days, life is normal, they are asking you to wear a mask on the tube, that's about it. It's why I think Australia and New Zealand with be locked down the longest, Covid is not going away they will need to bite the bullet sooner or later and open up Yet the UK government and media are still obsessing about infection rates and daily covid numbers. What is important is the number of Covid Hospitalizations, and the number of confirmed Covid deaths. Then it is relevant how many of these are not vaccinated. The daily number of asymptomatic infections are just fear..... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you are suggesting should "play out" is total defeat of the healthcare system, fighting in the street for oxygen bottles and an extrodinary number of deaths to achieve community immunity instead of vaccination. Crude and callous. It was indeed inevitable,what else could have been done in a country like India? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only solution is to vaccinate the whole world and pray..., if it wont work, we'll have to live beside it until a real medicine will be found. Not true. The researcher on the Joe Rogan show has antibodies after 10months. They know this as they get tested before every show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like people in power starting to realise at last it's time to do away with incessant fearmongering and to work on shifting the public sentiment. Thai media fearmongering is on another level and unfortunaltely it works much better here than in the west. I noticed news anchor are wearing mask when alone in the studio, I also think they are now starting to realize it's firing back up because the economy is sinking and they have to reopen asap. Maybe that's why their testing is going down. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Cipher Posted August 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2021 Quote India reportedly lost 4 million people.

You may very well be right, but who can you trust with all the different figures. Another thing, but this is just a thought, how many people die every year in India with other illnesses like the ordinary flu and phuemonia? Maybe that is linked in with the Cvirus statistics, as I say it's just a thought. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sezze Posted August 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2021 Cut the <deleted> , yes we all going to get it . I you believe in all kinds of theories or not , does not matter . If you vaccinated larger chance you stay outside hospital . No deniying it , vaccinated persons are less likely to die or have hospital admissions . There is no 100% solution , vaccinate and yes you might get sick also , but much less likely to be in serious problem . 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the virus conquered or at least left cowering in a corner, the whole world has changed as a result of the pandemic and it won't be going back to 2019: supply chains, expectations of governments, health consciousness, education methods, international relations, economic structures, digital economy and on & on ... And of course tourism: how much? where? how managed? Certainly true. Things won't be the same for, at least, 5 or 10 years. That is, if this virus becomes as 'mild' as the yearly flu...

The difference to other rhino- and coronaviruses is, that this particular virus creates long-term damage all over the human body. That's why it is still my belief that this virus did not evolve naturally, but via enhancement in a laboratory.
