My view on Covid as it stands is,
Lock down in March was right but testing tracing and mask should have been in by May fully operational like Korea.
Then the Government rushed to get us out of lockdown far too early opening up far too soon and without track trace fully operational something the WHO shouted out in Feb.
Its like a huge chicken farm. We're all put in barns protected from the big bad fox (Covid). The fox sits and waits but hasn't died of hunger.
As time goes by there's less and less for the fox to feed off but just when the numbers of prey are dwindling and the fox is finding less and less to go at the chicken farmer stupidly decides to let his stock out into the fields.
The fox simply picks up were it left off and the farmer finds it impossible to round his chickens back into the barns.
I totally agreed with lockdown back in March but not now (waste of time) but it wasn't enough on its own. All this test and trace right now is futile, an utter waste of money and resources. The test itself has been questioned false readings and missing results ?.
We have Uni campuses infested and then we have kids back at school, come on let's be real. Were all masks wearing in day to day living, washing hands, keeping distances but rugrat germ farm kids go to school passing it on willy nilly lots A symptomatic then they take it home at 3pm to Mummy and Daddy who in turn go to work and the cycle carries on.
Now that were clearly failing to get back some kind of normality while still struggling to contain the virus we need a totally different approach. Testing and 1m ffs apart is utter cheap and 10pm boozers pmsl.
For me,
We need to put all our efforts into hospitals, care homes, nursing homes, the vunerable anyone with "known" underlying health issues they need to be protected sheilded far far better.
90% will not die, 10% will need help and 5% could possibly die.
Of those 5% only 0.001% will have no health issues or underlying problems so we know who were the likely sufferers will come from. Doctors are yet to figure out why certain fit able die and some elderly with health issues don't.
Its a gene thing for me, some people are simply sersepitcal to Covid and no one truly knows why.
A large proportion of those who died in the early days of Covid were the elderly sent home from hospitals back to unprotected nursing homes just before lock down lots to their graves. The true figures have been hidden from us.
Horrible as it may sound that's life. People with no underlying health issues who do die could die from a bad dose of seasonal flu we just don't know no one can prepare for the unknown, no one.
The simple facts are, we have a large proportion of the population who are fed up and are now unwilling to go along with it all because they know the chances are hugely in their favor that if they caught Covid they'd be no worse than a bad chest day or, they won't even know !!.
I reckon as it stands 10's of millions have already had it and never knew. So let's put all our efforts into looking after the people who will be at a higher risk and let the rest of us keep up social distancing, masks, hand wash etc the best we can.
Far far more lkng term damage wi be done if we don't, we cannot live like this sorry to say but lots of lives will be lost but in the evolution of life on the planet,
There's a reason for this
