If you truly believe or even suspect the Doomsday theories you have been prophesising in recent weeks are true, it would seem crazy for you not to believe in full on Zero Covid, and I mean full on Wuhan January-February 2020 style lockdowns for the world.
āProbablyā. Real scientific. Iād say it has more to do with those counties not giving much of a fuck, but thatās based on as much about as much evidence as your opinion.
Tell you what, say youāre correct. Does it not show that the restrictions we have maintained are pointless? Denmark has removed them long before us and hasnāt experienced a surge. If, as you say, our rates are because of the UK (blame the foreigners), then the restrictions we maintain or donāt are meaningless anyway.
Iāve said for a long time we have focused our attention on the wrong areas throughout this pandemic. Weāre still doing it.
Weāre still locking up people in MHQ despite having the highest covid rates in Europe. Bizarre. typical paddy exceptionalism at best, stupidity and stubbornness certainly, outright racism at worst. All to placate the zero covid headbangers who got a bit of a run on the government a few a months ago.
The only doomsday scenario that is possible but unlikely is the emergence of an ADE disease due to the vaccination campaign. Itās been rejected by the same people that said Covid couldnāt spread person to person, that there was no need to wear a mask, that there should be no travel restrictions or border closures, that transmission was not airborne, etc. etc. In other words wrong at every turn yet you insist on believing them.
If Covid continues on as it is then there is nothing significant to worry about, there will be more variants and the main risk is vaccine evading variants, but not much risk of a repeat of April 2020 or January 2021, imho of course.
