COVID-19 Pandemic (Coronavirus)

[hex]

If you say the scientists are fear mongering to boost their social profile and careers... What about the fact that world governments are shutting their borders?

Here's my simple honest take: If it was just folks getting on TV running their mouth trying to sell books or whatnot, I wouldn't believe a word out of their mouth. But when countries are willing to lose out on MONEY by closing borders (and yes, the border is only closed to southern Africa countries for now, but there's talk of border-closing expanding for other nations as well), then that's a signal to me that there's something serious going on.

They aren't actually shutting their borders.

Travel restrictions by country following the Omicron variant outbreak

If you look at that list, maybe 1-2 have closed borders. One is China, that never opened them back up to begin with.

The rest have travel restrictions to/from Africa. Because there's no public relations/political blow back from cutting off Africa. I'm just being real here.

Omicron is already in Canada, Australia, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Hong Kong, Germany, Italy, Spain....the list goes on.

Travel restrictions are performative nonsense at this point.

Policy solution? Let people choose how they want to move, and life goes on. Or if doesn’t. That’s life. We take risk every day with the choices we make

So we ignore Covid

Let hospitals keep getting overrun

Also:

Delta vs. Omicron: More mutations don't necessarily make a meaner Covid-19 virus - CNN

More mutations and specific mutations =/= worse. Beta had mutations that should've theoretically let it evade vaccines....kappa had mutations that should've made it more contagious.

Both died out due to delta. These variants have to compete with each other for hosts.

Didn’t even change her shirt

You know she aint shower in 2 and a half days either

Oxford University says no evidence yet that vaccines won't protect against severe disease from Omicron

Like I said, people need to relax.

Who said ignore it? We live with it. You can’t mandate or legislate your way out. get vaxxed and boosted, or not. Wear a mask if you want. Wear a hazmat suit if you want. Don’t wear one if you want. Don’t get vaxxed if you want. It’s your choice. Assume however much risk you want

This isn't the worst line of thinking, but hospitals are overrun in certain areas and a plethora of healthcare staff are quitting. Society can't continue without a healthcare system. I'm in Philly and barely any of the hospitals are doing the normal elective surgeries people need.

You don’t “need” a surgery if it’s elective

a knee surgery can be considered elective bc you can just do PT... it still hampers people's QOL.

You also don’t need to go to a hospital for a knee procedure. They have outpatient places for that

So what's the plan? Lol cause we tried all options and the point is ppl still dying...ppl still going yo hospitals...

More and more staff quitting? U think we just won't have Healthcare? Eventually they'll pay more and get back their workers.

Imean to argue covid is just stupid all together. Until ppl realize it's an added risk to everyday life and live nothing will change.

Life's not perfect. Just adapt and deal with it.

I mean personally I'd be cool with having anti vaxxers sign something refusing treatment if they cop covid. Everyone wins in that scenario

higher insurance premiums/no coverage for unvaccinated folks if they catch covid. If that bill ain’t partially paid up front, hospital can turn em away. Life goes on
