People are trying to kill their way out of the pandemic.

“Endemic.”
“Hybrid immunity” (for only the survivors).

This is about 2/3rds of the way along the plot of a horror movie.

I have never worked out why people think that an aim should be to have “endemic” SARS.

Endemic just means present all the time.

What a nightmare. 🤯

Here’s the maths that we are doing.

At some point, we will not have people going to hospital or dying as often of COVID-19.

Not because we have stopped the disease circulating as much, but because there are fewer people that are susceptible to a poor outcome.

There is only one way to achieve such an aim, and that is to burn the dry tinder to the ground as @YouAreLobbyLud often puts it.

That is what we are doing… right now.

The foundations that the National Plan stands on, is the idea that humans left behind, after the weak are culled, can indeed “live with the virus”.

Well, we shall see.

In my opinion, there is no prosperity or happiness down that path.

Yes, they state, multiple times, to “protect the vulnerable” but actions speak louder than words.

There is no way to protect one group while infecting the others that we know of.

Empty words. “The vulnerable” are going to keep dying.

The alternative is clear.

@WHO should lead on this.
