Why we just lost battle with covid?
by igadoter from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5D4QZ)
We just lost. It is fact cannot be denied. Here my points:
1) covid was made political issue
2) very poor information
3) vaccination is not enough, let me explain this: new strains are a head of us - seems they need updated vaccine, and new strains will dominate this year, so we need a millions of doses of updated vaccine, those who were already vaccinated seems will need to take a shot of new updated vaccine - to gain immunity again new strains
4) poor international cooperation which relates to point 1) but not only it is needed say to establish common policy between say Europe and America - to fight virus having worldwide strategy not per country
5) disinformation, here example is so called herd immunity, but this is where scientists should be blamed, some claim there is such thing, others there is no - and it is discussion about principles - but solutions are needed.
But we lost battle not war. Let think in that way. It is war which will supposedly last for years. How long? It depends on how fast governments reach similar conclusion. But I am sure we will win. Perhaps I will not see this victory on my own eyes. As many I can be a victim. But I am quite positive. It is one lost battle and enemy caught us unprepared. The good point is that after this will be over we will be always ready.
Edit: it sounds little officially but these are my views, perhaps also poor choice of words - but I guess this is due to my age, when I was forty years old young boy called me grandpa - imagine how I feel now, zombie grandpa?
