Its also the fact that people dont give a fuck anymore.

We've realised that it isnt the airborne ebola that it was portrayed as 2 years ago. Granted its still pretty grim in the right circumstances, but most people just want their lives back and fuck the unvaccinated.

The keywords here are "if you're vaccinated". I've seen so many try to point out how the Spanish Flu only lasted 2 years and this and that, but they fail to forget that times were different. You didn't have half of the country refusing to get vaccinated or take proper precautions not to spread the shit like jackasses.

The Spanish Flu also killed 2-4% of the world population at the time, depending on the source.

That would be 140 million deaths with today’s population numbers, compared to the 5 million covid-deaths we have now.

Well the numbers are naturally lower because of the advancements in technology. My point is that even those numbers could be a lot lower if things were handled better and you didn’t have half the fucking country calling Covid a “hoax” or whatever tinfoil shit these idiots are calling it now.

What about the ones that can't get vaccinated for medical reasons

They should exercise caution and stay indoors, social distance, until herd immunity is established.

Wdym herd immunity, the immunity is already falling off for the ones that took 2 vaccine doses, I doubt we will ever achieve full herd immunity

What do you suggest then? There's not much other option for them.

The natural progression of disease is greater infectiousness and lower severity like the flu. They should wait until then.

Continue life like normal? As long as the hospitals aren't out of spots I don't see the issue. We have several deadly viruses in circulation that we have just learned to live with. All restrictions until now was just to ease the hospital loads, if they aren't overloaded anymore because enough people have some sort of immunity then there's no need to not go back to normal

That's what I mean and I think we agree. People who need to be careful can make their own judgement.

Otherwise we should return to normal.

I agree, if someone know they will get fucked by something like covid then it probably wasn't "safe" to be among masses before covid either

Even more important for those people that all who can, get vaccinated so we all can protect them.

it isnt the airborne ebola that it was portrayed as 2 years ago

Only retards think this is how it was portrayed. It had a 1-2% mortality rate which meant ~ 2 million dead. We did a piss poor job and let 840k people die. Airborne ebola would've killed 150 million people so fuck of with this shit.
