everyone should get vaxxed. no doubt
if you are scared of the vax, your level of fear is truly pathetic.
BUT
heres what i see happening (and why you cant outrun your destiny).
we will get 70 % vaxxed.
the delta will run about in the unvaxxed and we know from the UK that vaxxed people are catching it as well (just not getting very sick).
BUT
you will then have enormous numbers of vaxxed people carrying delta and , according to the evolutionary blowtorch i love, this WILL SELECT FOR DELTA THAT IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE VAX .
in other words, this scenariom is going to make vaccines not very useful in a short period of time.
so , i wouldnt be too confident that this all ends this year.
it wont.
and i think we have years to decades of just having to accept many covid admissions to hospitals and many deaths.
the way out is to teach personal risk assessment and personal responsibility for weight health distancing hygiene.
the way out is NOT to be little babies who expect mummy gladys and daddy scott to keep you safe. (about the only word in their vocabulary nowadays
)
they cant
its on YOU
The interesting thing about covid is we've all discovered that it's
not all about YOU at all. It's about US.
YOU can only stop someone infecting you for so long.
YOU can only ensure that your livelihood is available for so long, or you have an employer, or customers, or money in the bank.
Pandemics affect populations, not individuals. One person alone can do very little to prevent covid.
The plagues transformed Europe. Without them, populations wouldn't have been divided into parishes and had their births and deaths recorded, then regulated. We wouldn't have urban planning and, eventually, hospitals.
Hospitals are highly systematised social places. They're not about YOU, they're a regulated social unit with the aim of treating YOU. Health care is about teamwork.
The same applies to economies. No mainstream political party is adverse to economic stimulus anymore. Even your Dear Leader sent out fake cheques pretending he was the one putting free money in their accounts. In the UK, a Tory government paid people's wages - unimaginable in 2019. The government is BACK.
The pre-war policies of Milton Keynes are back. No more free unfettered markets, no more survival of the fittest. The days of Reagan and Thatcher are oh so 2019.
Covid has shown that we need to support everyone to save ourselves, and ultimately, prevent YOU from getting sick.
This, I think, is what offends you so much about covid. It's not a grand, triumph of the individual narrative. It's more of a meticulous police procedural. The clues are solved through teamwork, people working together to solve a problem. We're forced to look at data and base analysis on facts.
This frustrates you. You're trying really hard to find ideology in there and signal virtue, but alas, the "evolutionary blowtorch" doesn't work that way.
You want quick, easy fixes with bold, anthemic slogans. You want to see Dear Leader bopping on stage to the Village People, hurling slogans at his maskless crowds, just as he'd throw MAGA caps to his adoring audience or paper towels out to incredulous hurricane survivors: we will make America GREAT again, STRONG again, BRAVE again...
All that did was see half a million deaths during his term - all up, more than Vietnam, WWII and September 11 put together. America has the largest covid toll in the world because its leadership said it was on YOU.
Mask mandates, social distancing, crowd control? YOU. Federal health policy, pandemic plan, national coordination? YOU. Fake cures, anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers?
You know who, dear. They'll never mention covid after I'm gone, no?
YOU.
