I think the virus has become entirely political. In two years this virus has gone from deadly to highly contagious and not particularly dangerous. This is the natural evolution of a pandemic. It is over and behind us — despite the panic of increasing numbers in the media, hospitals are quiet and not with new cases.
It is time to stop the hysterical testing, produce appropriate monoclonals, and oral antivirals, and have the government stop with its lunacy.
Indeed, it is over, except for the politics.
I know in the past you were relying on the published 'science' among your peers to base your medical opinions here but many of us smelled the scam from the beginning and always believed it was more politically driven than not.
380 or so S. Korean deaths today. I’m pretty sure they have no interest in US politics.
Russia’s deathcount today 261 and showing signs of leveling the decline from the Omicron peak of 780 or so. Rather similarly, they have no interest in US politics.
Nor does the virus there or here. The fearful folks understandably tell themselves it’s all past and this decline is somehow different from previous declines. If you are strong minded, you look at global data and see there is no reason to imagine anything but another surge.
Indeed, it is over, except for the politics.
We finally agree on things. 😏
Though I do remember that even in the thick of the vax discussions, you always maintained that you were against mandating it.
