If everyone gets omicron and have natural immunity for long enough to no longer spread it could that end it?

I'm waiting for the next varient. Unicron!

Two weeks shelter in place for everyone was never going to happen.
Targe0
Yeah sadly we didn't know then it took two weeks just to incubate. If we did this likely would have gone differently.
ProfTrebor
Not in Ireland it’s not… Our Government are acting like it’s all over. Covid certs Gone, restrictions on pubs and restaurants boom gone!

Psst... time traveler here. Cant say too much, that 2 needs to be a 9... and oh boy howdy does 2031 have spicy surprise!

We find out WE are really the aliens?

It was never going to be two weeks.

So "they" can monitor our internet activity?

It's March 696th, 2020.

"No New Normal!", they cried, continuing to take the exact course of action that was entrenching the new normal.
Targe0
Anyone who thinks thing will fully go back to the way they were is foolish. Even if they don't notice the changes they will be there.
Arcanum3000
It was never going to be two weeks. A complete shutdown for a month might've done it, but we never did that even for two weeks.
pastramionrye
We’re not exactly in lockdown anymore. We’re just working from home. And wearing masks out of the house. I like the new normal.

Get the fuckin planes outta the air. This shit ain’t crossing the ocean in rapid form by itself.

yep :(
GravyEducation
When you still meet people without their vax
TooRexyForMyShirt
But that one thing is getting a vaccine that is made with dead baby cells and doesn't even work and Big Gubment controlling us and... /s

Don't forget the magical microchips trailing Billy Bob at the local Hooters.
GravyEducation
*wipes whiskey away from my mouth* I don't even care anymore
WeirdStealth
God, this is so true, specially when you realize that things would've been better if it wasn't for anti Vax shit heads and MAGA morons.

I miss the first two weeks. My commute was cut in half. It was awesome.
gtotherizzle
Lol...I had 6 weeks...nearly 2 years ago and we've only had 2 outbreaks where I work
GinM17
I did. Three jabs. Still got covid. Now what?
bigstop
i got 2 shots so far and just getting over it with bennit foddy, (just had covid) for the first time
bigstop
i'm over this pandy,if everyone would just get jabbed then we could move on, getting jabbed made covid symptoms a runny nose and sore throat
HelpfulCorn
Same here and kid and spouse too
PedroPaisan
They should give us full syringes so we can vaccinate the holdouts ourselves. I'm tired of this
OriginalAndWitty
The world's preparing for the endemic stage of COVID, aka- 'we've completely give up trying to get rid of it so get a booster every year'
Targe0
Just got my first booster a few days ago. Good news still had antibodies, I know this cause the fever and body aches the day after.
theIndiekid
Tbf, that was probably always going to be the case, regardless of gov action. The current flu evolved from the 1918 Spanish Flu, after all.
Noraneko
Germany gonna pass vaccine mandate soon. Way too late, sadly. Last year was election year.
chloramphenicolderivative
There was never a time where this wasn't going to be the case.
Ymris
That would be a relief for those of us who have been predicting that since early 2020...
FallenBlossomss
I fail to see how that’s a relief.
Ymris
You fail to see how it would be a relief if "the world" started to have some contact with reality?
FallenBlossomss
Your comment was vague af. What relief is there in hoping the world just gives up? You think the world will gain insight with more deaths?
dogoftheAMS
Yeah Ireland is almost completely open now. Going for a personal protection thing since getting rid of it ain't happening.
Targe0
Omicron kinda ruined any hope of that. It spreads too fast and too easily. But it is less deadly so if we are going to let it rip ->
Targe0
it's possibly the best option we are going to get.
drinkthederpentine
It's a fallacy to believe it could be gotten rid of once it went global in the first place.
angrytaco
Guess we can't eliminate any disease at all because they exist in multiple parts of the world.
drinkthederpentine
That's pretty much exactly the case for all of human history. The few diseases we have eliminated are exceptions to the norm
waluigiknowsyourehigh
Stop it with your logic
ronpopeil
Probably always the case. Vaccine hesitancy is one thing. Providing vaccines to poor nations with massive population centers is another.
ronpopeil
The haves didn't do much to try to support the have-nots.
Targe0
For a lot of last year the Have could barely support themselves. There just wasn't enough of any vaccine for 7.8 Billion people. Still isn't
ronpopeil
That's not true. Vaccine spoilage has been an issue. We have more than we have need for. Also, no one even discussed helping others.
Targe0
Yes now we do, for like the first 6 months of 2021 we didn't. Also they did discuss it that's why they set up COVAX to do just that.
thedtp
You know what’s been the hardest part of the 3 week SIP (shelter in place)? The first 2 years…
GravyEducation
whenfirstiappeariseemmysterious
The first 2 years were the worst. And the second 2 years, they were the worst, too. The third 2 years I didn't enjoy at all.
whenfirstiappeariseemmysterious
After that I went into a bit of a decline.
Jatenffxiv
It's weird to hear about this again honestly... as an essential worker my life never really felt that different. This whole time
Jatenffxiv
I felt like I was on the outside looking in. My friends getting paid more than I make to stay home. I WANTED to stay home, but... work...
Tokomek
Shelter in place was a stupid idea for limiting spread then and it's a stupid idea now. This virus is forever.
CallsYouATosser
With a time machine, you could seriously bank off compound interest.
idma
but.....i was promised corona would "disappear" by April 2020
NunyaBizness
polarbearrodeo
At a certain point we have to accept that the people who have it have it and the people who aren't going to get it or not going to get it.
polarbearrodeo
Open things back up and figure out how to move forward effectively with all of these variables. But ppl are not going to have a change of ?
pip1
Welp, guess Imma start up Plague Inc. again
DukePhelan
Lockdowns? We gave up on that shit back in summer of 2020. Like with gun violence we just accept the deaths as the costs of our 'freedums'.
drinkthederpentine
Acting like lockdowns don't have enormous social, mental, and financial costs is myopic
angrytaco
Only because there wasn't a proper response. A rent freeze, stipends, and a good lock down, this shit would have been over a long time ago
drinkthederpentine
No, it wouldn't have. You'd need every person in the world to comply or I will just recirculate again after lockdowns end
maydai110
Yeah idk man here in Vegas we're basically back to normal. We don't even wear masks at bars and clubs anymore.
DukePhelan
Yeah, that's the point. The virus is still here still killing and spreading like crazy but no one is even trying to do anything about it.
maydai110
Why so dramatic? There's a fuckton of people doing things about it. This isn't an end of the world scenario here. It barely kills anyone.
maydai110
And we have multiple companies and organizations that are trying to cure it. But it's a virus. It's going to mutate. It's not going away.
Rheios
As someone in Vegas, my one benefit is that I hate and stay away from people, as much as I can, to begin with. All the people moving here..
BenderBendingRrrrrrodriguez
Is it normal if people are dropping dead every day?
maydai110
....yeah. People tended to die before the coranavirus.
BenderBendingRrrrrrodriguez
You know what I meant
