its madness bobby.

we have only 58 cases in qld and they have already closed one of the busiest police stations because someone had it and 2500 graduating nurses (you would think they might be useful) have been put in isolation because someone at their graduation had it.

that doesnt seem to be "learning to live with covid"

its going to play out like this.

omicron is super contagious.

initially, they will close police stations, close day cares, close schools, close dentists and accountants. they will be asked to quarantine. their family will then not be able to work.
maybe their wife is a nurse or their husband is a plumber.

soon society will grind to a halt.

10's of 1000's of people will be unable to participate and a lot of them will be essential workers.

they will try to plug gaps.

they are sending cops from the gold coast to cover beenleigh (which is a big area).
they wont be able to do it.

people will be catching covid and the whole household will be locked up.
then soon after they emerge , someone else will catch it and its back to square 1.

soon ( by about february), people will suddenly tweak that they know 100 people with omicron and none of them are very sick.
they will start to demand that the government stop the scaremongering the fines and the rubbish.

once public opinion gets behind stopping the nonsense, the nonsense will stop.

but not before.

a few weeks of blackouts, no one at your local servo, no one at your local woolies, no one at your local chemist, no one to fix your broken car and people will be screaming to forget about covid and get back to life as we knew it.

then the pandemic ends

and not before

until the chodes are made to live in deprivation due to workers being locked away, it wont end

Haven't you declared the pandemic is already over?

At least twice, from memory.

We are all about to be locked down again for Christmas

Everywhere except WA. Thanks to Mark McGowan not caving in to Scotty from Marketing and big business.

We're on track for a 'normal' Christmas here but it will be a bit on the warm side.

Covid free.
No masks.
No restrictions.
Not planning on leaving the State (or even the Perth metropolitan area) anytime in the foreseeable future.

I'll take it, thanks.

I'm going back to the masks... expecting a lockdown after the Christmas madness of spending which will 'save the economy' from imploding ... best we hoard some toilet paper, eh?  Noticed some sheila t'other day in Woolies with  a couple of big packs....

grappler

have a look at the case numbers in the UK .
they are going straight up like a rocket.
doubling every 2 to 3 days.

the rest of the world will follow suit.

BUT

the numbers are coming down again just as quickly in south africa.
plummeting

AND

they did not have their hospitals over run.


omicron grows 70 x as concentrated in the throat as delta but hardly at all in the deep lungs

no pneumonia
no surge in hospital admissions

but every breath, every cough, every sneeze emits an enormous cloud.

we sill see massive numbers in the next month (if we are foolish enough to measure them).

what we should do is realise this is a golden opportunity to get a lot of long term immunity at very little cost.

you would have to be really really crumbley to be taken out by a sore throat and a blocked nose.

sadly, some people are so unfit they will be.

but its far far better to let omicron surge .

if we dont and we dont let it take over, we will see a spread of delta (15 x as deadly).

that would be insane

we need to let this run wild so that omicron can displace the more deadly variant.

mother nature is on our side and we should take full advantage of that.

if you find a friend with omicron, head over there asap for an exchange of life giving virus
