”WHO Director Says ‘It’s Very Unlikely’ Countries Can Eradicate Disease Now”

Defintely one item I have been losing my mind about for months. Lockdowns don’t eradicate the disease, it just puts it on hold for later. So this relates to the thread because soon, those Europeans will need to go back to normal to function. COVID is very contagious, it will spread again cause the lockdowns keep people vulnerable. Their cases go up, we point and laugh. It’s all good fun.

New York at its best settled into 800 new cases per day. But that’s still 800 confirmed cases every day, not counting the people who have it and have no idea since it’s statistically not dangerous for most. Even at the worst CFR estimate 95% are fine. This is all like keeping tissue paper over the exhaust of a Dodge Viper to keep the CO2 in. Almost 8 billion people on this rock. Not every one of them lives in a nice apartment with UberEats and can afford to video conference their dumb Marketing job from home. It’s gonna spread.

Lockdowns aren’t for eradication, it was for hospitals. Since we haven’t eradicated anything, and effectively been keeping people vulnerable. It’s gonna be one step forward and two steps back with every reopening. We can’t hide from this. Full lockdown or let it rip. These “model” countries will soon have their own upticks as they travel between, COVID is easily transmitted. We’ll have a good laugh back at them eventually.

And then the cycle will continue. Some new anti-viral will pump the market for a day, Biden will say an oopsie, Trump will accidentally re-tweet a hate crime, CDC information about how tens of millions have already had this will get swept under the rug by media, the airline industry will tumble and maybe once the house that our grandfathers died for finally crumbles, we’ll all look at each other and say... “oh oops, 99.6% of us would’ve be fine.”
