[LINK] Our Covid Future?

[Stephen Loosley]

Very good Frank. I like your thinking. 😊 No doubt absolutely true. It’s strange the risk
of a lonely, uncomfortable death, fully ventilator intubated and isolated for weeks, if we
are lucky, isn’t enough motivation for people to wear a mask, even inside?

My dear wife works fulltime for a Vic Gov hospital, with an extensive aged-care complement.
Has for years and loves it.  All the staff there have been personally and properly fitted with an
appropriate mask, daily tests etc, And, they’ve never experienced even one positive Covid test.

Being careful works. Seemingly we could end this Covid problem calmly and efficiently if we tried.
But apparently, seemingly, unless we find a miracle cure, all we humans could eventually die badly?

Cheers Frank,
Stephen

What we need is a research project that finds that COVID causes progressive sterility in people aged between 16 and 60, and is associated with testicular shrinkage, low sperm and ovarian counts, and penile dysfunction.

After that I have no doubt vaccination rates would soar, research on elimination strategies would be richly funded for the next millennium, masks would become sexually desirable fashion statements and the world would get serious about eliminating COVID in every geographic location on the planet.

Just my 2 cents worth …
