I said pretty much the same thing in post 48.Just FYI, the COVID-19 virus is a virus very similar to the Rhinovirus (the common cold virus), as it keeps developing variants. The Rhinovirus consists of 160 types/variants. Over time, the COVID-19 will develop more and more variants, all in an attempt to bypass our bodies and vaccination defenses. As these new COVID-19 variants come out, their lethality will diminish, as the Omicron is showing (I like the anagram take on it....moronic).
Some scientists have said that the virus deliberately diminishes its lethality over time to come to a point where the host can accept the variant that infects but does not kill the host. I find that concept interesting as it would mean the virus actually has some form of understanding beyond reproduction.
We must understand that as it is a virus and always changing like the Rhinovirus, it will always be with us. You can't get rid of any of the Rhinovirus variants and thus can't get rid of the COVID19 variants and the response is not to just keep getting jabbed or masking up.
Covid will always be with us, and each year we will get a shot for the most prevalent variant, just like we do with the flu.
