Given the progression and transmissibility of the disease. and. for the majority of those catching the disease, the relatively minor symptoms, one has to wonder at what cost we need to fight this disease over and over again. My feeling is that if we go all out to win the battle against covid we are going to find ourselves a victor in a nation that does not exist in the manner it did before 2020. It is insane what we have done, it is insane to contemplate doing it again, and quite frankly I think most Americans would just as soon risk the disease in its present form and get back to their lives. You point out all the 'Bad things that are occurring' but they are always occuring no matter what the disease. This is just whimpering and whining about stuff that just IS. Is every covid sufferer supposed to run out and get a scan for a possible but very unlikely occurrence of blood clots in the lungs and heart? It sounds so great to be able to detect these, but the cost is prohibitive. Better to tell people to take it easy for a few weeks after the illness, which is what most people do anyway. Covid is no different from many of the worst flu epidemics. It will work its way through the population and bring on death to many of the most vulnerable. That is what these diseases do. They have done this for many millenium during which man has created civilizations. Like everything nowadays the facts of the past are just ignored and the whiners and hand wringers are out in force telling us this is unlike anything we have ever seen. It is soo bad!....unless you were in Samoa in 1919 or so and forty-sixty percent of the individuals of productive age dropped dead of Spanish Flu. Samoa survived, not without problems, but it survived. I believe we need to adopt a lot of what the Japanese do. They wear masks if they want to. They get the vaccine if they want to. (The government leaves that choice with the individual) And most of all they don't whine and cry about things and blame others for the problems that have beset their society.
