70k supposed positive cases on 50 campuses this fall has led to, ahemm, 3 hospitalizations and no deaths
you don't lock down young, healthy people because of a flu that most 20-somethings don't even know they have
"We really do have to learn how to coexist with this virus in a way that doesn’t require constant closing down of economies, but at the same time in a way that doesn’t associate with high levels of suffering and death.
It’s what we’re calling the middle path and the middle path is about being able to hold the virus at bay, while keeping economic and social life going, and we think it’s doable but we also think it really requires a high level of organizations by governments and remarkable degree of engagement by the people, both of which in some countries have proven to be difficult."
Meaning adhere to the set guidelines
Socially distance yourself, wear a mask, don’t congregate in large groups & gatherings, and contact tracing, testing and isolation.
Which is what I’ve been saying all along, but unfortunately for some people somehow these preventive measures are too much to do and a violation of their rights and these are just COVIDIOTS who do not want to abide by it.
Like I’ve said these are small inconveniences that if everyone undertakes we will have more normalcy to our lives and shortening the lockdowns, and keep the economy going.
But unfortunately when people disobey these rules there is no other option but to rollback the phases and possibly fully shutdown.
wait until you see the flu rates this fall and winter. every time someone gets a fever and sniffles they'll be worried about covid so will get tested. in the good old days (pre feb2020) very few people ever went to a doc for the flu...just crawled into bed for 48 hours and called off from work. now these folks will be lined up at CVS and UrgentCare to be told they have the flu and to go crawl into bed for 48 hours and call off from workit's crazy the last 2 weeks haven't felt great body aches, nausea, etc the first thing that came to mind was Covid and that was negative, is it ok to still get the flu or a cold seems like now it's covid or nothing for these crazy ass people.
But tide.....car accidents are the leading cause of death for teens and if we just lock them in the house they can't die from car accidents
Yep. And younger are not spreaders
it's all just a game to these folks....thankfully we're done funding these clowns. They already flipped on masks from their intensive 2019 study so now telling us that everything they've ever recommended was wrong
Coronavirus: WHO backflips on virus stance by condemning lockdowns
Lockdowns have been used to control the coronavirus around the world, plunging millions of lives into chaos. Now the WHO has changed its mind.
The World Health Organisation has backflipped on its original COVID-19 stance after calling for world leaders to stop locking down their countries and economies.
Dr. David Nabarro from the WHO appealed to world leaders yesterday, telling them to stop “using lockdowns as your primary control method” of the coronavirus.
He also claimed that the only thing lockdowns achieved was poverty – with no mention of the potential lives saved.
“Lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer,” he said.
“We in the World Health Organisation do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus,” Dr Nabarro told The Spectator.
“The only time we believe a lockdown is justified is to buy you time to reorganise, regroup, rebalance your resources, protect your health workers who are exhausted, but by and large, we’d rather not do it.”
Dr Nabarro’s main criticism of lockdowns involved the global impact, explaining how poorer economies that had been indirectly affected.
“Just look at what’s happened to the tourism industry in the Caribbean, for example, or in the Pacific because people aren’t taking their holidays,” he said.
“Look what’s happened to smallholder farmers all over the world. … Look what’s happening to poverty levels. It seems that we may well have a doubling of world poverty by next year. We may well have at least a doubling of child malnutrition.”
