Variants (current and future if people remain foolishly unvaccinated when they are able to be) hold the potential to be a serious issue. So, too, will be what happens when boosters are eventually needed. If we assume, probably rightly, that fewer people will get the booster, and will delay getting it if they do, we could be in a serious predicament. Add in the endemic selfishness of anti-maskers and anti-distancers, and we could be in worse shape than many imagine right now.
While not on the level of the way a second wave did so much harm in the Spanish Flu outbreak, the “we’re never going back” mentality could be devastating nonetheless.
Every willing host gives the virus an opportunity to mutate further. And sooner or later, when you play with fire, you may get burned.
You sound like one of those big government alarmists who want to scare people. The CDC has been corrupt for decades, and Fauci has been caught lying and sensationalizing this. You also apparently love to take freedom away from people. If you want to hide in your basement, go ahead. Let the rest of us live our lives.
Calling someone an anti-masker or anti-vaxxer just because they choose not to for whatever reason is offensive. Funny you forget to mention how the less strict states had fewer cases per capita, and the high survival rate, and the fact people are still getting COVID and even dying from this experimental vaccine. Yes, it’s still classified as experimental.
Yes, it’s real, but locking people in their homes does not solve anything, as it has been proven time and time again. People need to build immunity. You can still die from the flu and the common cold, and last time I checked those still exist.
