So what’s happening. Is humanity winning? Are we living with the virus?

No. SARS-CoV-2 is getting faster and faster. We have partially adapted to it with vaccines, but it is way ahead, and we are not coping. We are getting tired.

#omicron
As we get tired, we are dropping more and more measures to control COVID-19, and it is setting up residence in our bodies, making us chronically unwell, and killing many.

It has free reign to mutate as much as it likes. We are tired, and easy prey now.
We think, maybe, omicron might be milder… but we can’t really tell because it is so mixed up with the numbers vaccinated and previously infected… but it is putting more kids in hospital… killing kids too…

and we are still too tired to raise a defence to it.
If we think SARS-CoV-2 has no more surprises for us… we are sorely mistaken. If we don’t find the energy to fight this disease, we are in deep trouble.

What I am trying to say in this thread is not that it is inevitable that we all get omicron… but that the government have made it inevitable that we all get omicron.

Even someone with knowledge, equipment, resources will not escape.

They have made sure we will fail.
As surely as I knew the hotel quarantine was a boat with a hole in it, and I warned that we would sink before the holidays last year (delta outbreak), I know that the current settings in NSW, and frankly the whole of Australia are inadequate to stop omicron.
No, I said that wrong. I shouldn’t have said “stop omicron”, I should have said, in particular for NSW, “slow omicron down”.

@Dom_Perrottet has taken an axe to the system and smashed what there was to pieces.

It’s a very weird feeling… knowing what I know about COVID-19… and knowing that at some point, due to the fact the government are not reducing transmission, I will probably get it.
Maybe the next time I have to take my mask off for the dentist, or an X-ray. Maybe the next time someone wants to check my face for ID purposes.

Maybe someone in my household will bring it home from an unsafe workplace or school.
The total negligence of the government means that the odds are stacked against every person, and even our pets…

and I know… on a cellular level… everything this virus will do to me.

We don’t exactly know.

We have clues.

Long COVID is a complex group of symptoms, as you would expect from a multi-system disease. The data I have seen does not look specifically at apoptosis of brain cells. More the symptoms of brain fog. ->
amongst others.

Also how much neurone loss can be tolerated without any symptoms is another question.

Also the data on vaccination preventing long COVID is rapidly becoming outdated, as it was based on previous strains.
We have an estimate, that double vaccination was preventing about 50% of long COVID sequalae at 28 days.

Whether this is due to infection prevention, or attenuation of disease (or both) is still being debated.

“They found that the infected astrocytes induced apoptosis in the neurons, indicating that the virus infection could trigger events that could kill neurons.”

Translation. COVID makes your body kill your brain cells. They don’t grow back.

By the way, SARS-CoV-2 is not the only coronavirus that does this. It just happens to do it to the point that people feel the symptoms and suffer *much more often* than the other coronaviruses that normally circulate.
No, that doesn’t mean it will automatically get milder. It does mean we should have anticipated this and acted much sooner to save millions of people from losing precious brain cells.

If this herd immunity by infection strategy was going to work, we could just chose to lie low until the wave has passed through the majority. ->
Instead we are out here waving red flags and stop signs because not only are you all risking your health, but it isn’t an exit strategy!

It’s an entry strategy!

#HerdImmunityByInfection
Repeated and worsening sickness… making new variants… making our precious vaccines useless!

A spiral down the gurgler.

To be honest, in real life, I am surrounded by people that just “want to move on with life”… and yet not one single person I have spoken to has been happy to have 6000 cases causing mad chaos over Christmas.

Not one.
The reasons for discontent are myriad… for example, some want furloughs cancelled, but no one actually wants to have the COVID positive flight attendant on their flight… 🤷🏻‍♀️
Some are upset they’ve been exposed to COVID19. Some are unwell. Some are diligently isolating. Some are not diligently isolating and should be, and others are annoyed about that too…

Total chaos.
