Look, if English isn't your first language, then I apologize, but if it is, then you might want to brush up on writing coherent sentences.

Its simple, If someone does not want to get infected, then they should stay home. Once they leave their home, they are taking a personal risk of dying from a multitude of things. Like I said, its personal accountability, you should learn some.

Daniel Altmann, Professor of Immunology at Imperial College London, said the emergence of a new strain of the virus strengthens the case for all to get vaccinated as soon as possible. "The vaccines induce neutralising antibodies to several parts of spike ("epitopes") and most of these would be unchanged by the mutations -- so the vaccines will still work," the Science Media Centre reported.

Just wonderful. They have this narrative all in place to keep us shut down for years. It's going to be a struggle between conformists and non conformists to see what kind of future society we have. Who will win? Stay tuned.

You got it, sholomar! You are one of the few here who definitely gets it. "The Great Reset" ain't a "conspiracy theory".......

What do you mean, what happened? Influenza is also going around. The figures are much lower than usual, as you'd expect being that the Covid precautions are as effective or even moreso when it comes to flu transmission. More people got flu shots this year than typical, too. Schools are one of the big drivers of flu transmission and many of them are currently some degree of virtual.

On a purely anecdotal note, I haven't been sick since March, and usually I'm a magnet for respiratory infections.

This strain is NOT resistant to the vaccine.

Here. Educate yourself. I am finished wasting my time. Good luck.



https://www.npr.org/sections/coronav...or-early-april

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's senior official for infectious diseases, predicts the United States could begin to achieve early stages of herd immunity against the deadly coronavirus by late spring or summer. And if that happens, Fauci anticipates, "we could really turn this thing around" toward the end of 2021.
Compared to influenza viruses, coronaviruses are more stable and less likely to evolve in response to pre-existing immunity. As a result, many experts argue, safe and effective vaccines remain the best chance for escaping the maze of Covid-19 infection. Regular boosters may be necessary as the virus cycles, not because the virus is rapidly evolving, but because human immunity may wane.

Such an outcome would mark the end of this current pandemic. Yet even then, experts believe, some version of the virus will continue to circulate, perhaps as a common cold virus or an occasional deadly outbreak among the unvaccinated, for many years, if not forever.
