Thank you for the reply. Above all, we are all hoping this blasted thing settles down soon and doesn’t take too many more people with it. That we can all agree on :-)
Doesn’t take much to research, which I’ve done and it turns out I was wrong. I avoid engaging with you on the Covid threads because I feel you get quite overwhelmed by the subject of Covid but I’m happy to pipe up and admit when I’m wrong.
Unless Covid is unique, it will act the same way as other viruses and mutate into a far less lethal for . It could be argued that we have prolonged the pandemic with all our lockdowns and mask wearing. Obviously a lot of people would have died so it wasn’t an option. We need to be cautious but...
I’m not sure about endgame but it will probably be less lethal. Viruses become weaker with transmissions and time. They just want to live, unnoticed in our nose and throat. Killing the host is not beneficial.
By slowing down the transmission rate, while helping the NHS, you keep the virus more...
I wear a mask because it saves hassle but there’s really no reason to be doing so now. In the sense that it’s pointless. The virus will spread and needs to spread. We want it to mutate and weaken. Ideally we want a less lethal but faster spreading virus. Slowing it down prolongs this process.
