Hear nah

Me eh know how in the middle of a facking global pandemic ppl find it so hard to avoid others who aren't in their immediate family etc.

The other one boasting about going all over to lime and now coming on the platform to list his symptoms. He voluntarily went and get a virus from being wreckless not because he had to work etc with the public. God forbid he deteriorate and require advanced medical care, all of this could have been avoided. Not to mention the other people he may have passed it on to unknowingly. Thanks for possibly spreading covid unnecessarily bro.

Ppl really are strange out here.

^if he vaxx he was following all the correct procedures tho. The govt saying once you vaxx you could go to the bar, sitdong an eat, go the malls, go hear Kenny sing.

Govts role is to keep economy etc open.

Govts don't care about you. Thats why they send you off to die in wars etc. Governments are machines. At the end of the day the gov't also have bills etc to pay to international parties so the more the economy is open the more money they get etc. Also remember that govt suffers from political pressures so don't take every decision from gov't at face value.

The reality is the main goal of living with the virus is to avoid the virus at all costs and IF you do get infected then the vaccines should help in giving you a better chance of less symptoms and survival. You are not suppose to willingly submit yourself to the virus and expose vaccines unnecessarily. Every new mutation requires new research to create new vaccinations etc. That takes time and resources.

Ppl are being dumb and dotish. Cud avoid a lil fete and lime for a couple of months/years or stay close to your family circle alone. It really not that difficult.

Every single infected person is a possible conduit for the virus to possibly end up inside your household and cause a love one to suffer. Be more responsible people.

back in late 2020/early 2021, we were managing just fine keeping the economy going and keeping numbers low without vaccines.

then the vaccines came and turned policy on its head. and for what? was christmas 2021 economy so much better than christmas 2020 economy, to justify all the excess death?

[st7]

96.3% of deaths reported were unvaccinated people so... really dont think it's the vaccine fault.

[paid_influencer]

we should have continued late-2020 policies with the vaccines as an extra layer of protection.

All the policy changes predicated on the vaccines being unrealistically effective are what screwed up the situation.

Time to walk that crap back to a long-term sustainable solution (which is what late-2020 was on the island)

Amid pushback from some public health officials on new CDC guidance for individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19, which does not require a negative test to end isolation after five days, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease specialist, says changes to the guidance are being considered.

I swear this man is a real fraud.....

Coronavirus norms: CDC cuts down isolation and quarantine times. Can India follow the same?

Why changes have been made

The CDC in the statement said that isolation and quarantine time has been reduced based on the findings that SARS-CoV-2 is more transmitted in the early course of illness. An infected person shreds the virus in the first 2-3 days of the infection. So, it is crucial to be isolated these days. After that period, they are less likely to infect others and are not required to isolate and quarantine. However, it is necessary to be cautious, so wearing a mask is necessary.

​Can India follow the same rules?

Looking at the current rising cases in the country and the lingering threat of the Omicron variant, it may not be safe in India to reduce the isolation and quarantine time. After months of respite, COVID cases in India have again started soaring. Reducing the isolation and quarantine timing may cause grave damages. Besides, there is a huge difference between the situation in the USA and India. Those below 18 years haven't been vaccinated in our country and adults have not been administered with a booster dose, unlike America. Easing the norms at this time may invite more problems.

96.3% of deaths were unvaxxed.

go get vaccinated, daz all. allyuh go talk about freedom and citizen rights when it come to vaccines but calling for govt to reduce freedom cause deaths and cases too high.

Correct

It was vaccinations in addition to social distancing amd mask wearing etc. Vaccinations was suppose to be the last line of defense in case someone still got infected. Instead we got vaccinations and things opening up resulting in unnecessary transmissions.

Trinis were looking at US opening back up and wanting the same. Not to mention all the secret zess that was occuring all over.

He does some pretty interesting antibody testing on himself...e.g) after first two shots, after 6mths, after booster and natural immunity

No.

Low vaccine uptake, zero reduction in mobility, inconsistent social distancing policies, and a porous border for illegal immigration are to blame.

And there is nothing that will stop it now.

Ppl took the vaccine and from that moment believed they were Superman, Kenny J boasted he was fully vaccinated look what happened, we have bars filled with ppl little to no mask wearing , retail stores filled with ppl sticking up under each other and from tomorrow schools will open so who cares. Just another month and 700 more will be six feet under, the government don't care , the ppl dont care . Who dead dead

[st7]

yet 96.3% of deaths are unvaxxed.

[pugboy]

arent Tcells supposed to also fight off viruses and dont think their immune response shows up in an antibody test.

[Chimera]

All this fight up and rah rah rah
At the end of the day 96% of deaths are unvaccinated.

Have nothing else to argue.
