This this this.

We can't have 2019 back, so which bits of life are we willing to curtail and for whom?

Trade-offs are necessary. We can't have it all.
But do we really want more of this?

Wave after wave of disease & death? Education and healthcare harmed & disrupted, business closures or case numbers so high you aren't safe to enjoy an open economy anyway?

#ForeverCOVID
And we're not looking up. ☄️ The pandemic has already burdened millions with #LongCovid and long-term harm.

As others have said. It's a mass disabling event.
We might get lucky on our 1st or 2nd infection, but if we all keep getting infected, eventually everyone rolls snakeeyes.
Currently 1 in 50 ppl in the UK have #LongCovid

I imagine a society in which 1 in 10 has LC or even 1 in 5. If we stay on our current path, we might be there in a few years. Maybe sooner.

How would that society function? It would not.
This is the future our Governments are writing for us, those that have all but waved the white flag.

It's not a world i think we'll want to live in. We can't let this continue. We must reject #ForeverCOVID. We must suppress this virus.
If you believe mildER means of no consequence, if you think it won't be you, if you think it's a cold/flu, then you don't have a clue.

We need to know our enemy in order to face it. Look it right between the eyes, and let's work together to beat it back.

"We must realize that the current approach is not sustainable (...) Will we choose to act, or will we remain passive as we pass a final tipping point?"

"too late to make any difference ... locked in now"

How ON EARTH is that logical!?

More mitigations from now won't uninfect the infected, but WILL reduce future infections

Fewer future infections is what's needed to lessen pressure on the NHS, & keep more of us safe and alive
Yes, there are a LOT of hospitalisations baked in now That's bad, and we can't change it

But we can turn the tap and reduce the flow
We could do this right now in the SIMPLEST of ways

e.g. N95s for all face to face workers, and N99s for all patient-facing NHS staff

WHY NOT?
For the anti-lockdowners: This isn't a lockdown

For the it's-too-harders: All i'm talking about is giving out PPE

For the it's-inevitablers: Remember "if not now, when?"
Apply it to infections. Even if they're inevitable, all at once is the worst possible option. SLOW IT DOWN.

"Ride it out" is the new "Let it rip" from the killer clown

He DOES NOT CARE how many of us live, die or get maimed, so long as he stays in post

Johnson is the worst thing to happen to us in my lifetime

When we finally get him out, it'll take years to recover from #LongJohnson
"Ride it out"

100% F*CK YOU JOHNSON, you PSYCHOPATH!!!!!
"Ride it out"

Are we going to do *this* for the next few months, then again a few months later, then again and again and again until EVERYONE is broken???
