She is an ignorant idiot. You cannot stop the virus. Let me repeat that for the lib lurkers out there. We will not "stop" or eliminate the virus. Period. No amount of closures, bans, social distancing, masks, vaccines, nor boosters will eliminate the virus. When someone says we need to do X to stop the virus they are advertising that they don't know what they are talking about.

If we cannot stop it, we will have to learn to live with it. In that regard the Omicron variant appears to be a gift. Mild symptoms, minimal lethality, easily transmitted, displacing a more dangerous variant. Natural immunity here we come! This thing should be over in a matter of weeks with Omicron.

Amen to your post. And future generations of the covid variant will be even more contagious, but less lethal. Get over it. People die from diseases. I may be one of them. But I will not live my life in fear.

Indeed. A geophysically isolated country like New Zealand could not stop the virus, although they tried.
