Butler County sheriff says his opinions on COVID-19 have shifted







this was only 4-5 months into the pandemic and he's in a leadership position.:francis:


80 employees had covid in all of 2020 and over 60 have gotten covid 21 days into the new year.

when it's people you know dying and people you see almost everyday really suffering it's not as easy to downplay it by saying 99% of people still have a pulse after getting covid.

law enforcement throughout the country have largely been clowns regarding their mask policy and adherence to mask mandates in businesses. almost two years into the pandemic and now he has a change of heart :gucci::pacspit:.

Butler County Sheriff's opinion on COVID-19 has 'changed immensely'

snippet:
Jambo knew this likely masked what had really been going on in Malawi. The country's population is very young — it has a median age of around 18, he notes. This suggests most infections prior to omicron's arrival were probably asymptomatic ones unlikely to show up in official tallies. People wouldn't have felt sick enough to go to the hospital. And coronavirus tests were in short supply in the country and therefore were generally used only for people with severe symptoms or who needed tests for travel.

So to fill in the true picture, Jambo and his collaborators turned to another potential source of information: a repository of blood samples that had been collected from Malawians month after month by the national blood bank. And they checked how many of those samples had antibodies for the coronavirus. Their finding: By the start of Malawi's third COVID-19 wave with the delta variant last summer, as much as 80% of the population had already been infected with some strain of the coronavirus.
