What about that statement is wrong?

That should have been obvious in the first month or two of the pandemic. And it's why the lockdown approaches of certain states and countries were so goddamn stupid.

Exactly.
A bunch of Baws, Engineers, some Drs etc on the fricking OT knew this.
A decent number of us were saying this in March. By early May it was general consensus that we just had to "sack the frick up and deal with it".

It is obviously a cold-inducing virus but is relatively fairly deadly - relative to what we think of as normal cold viruses - in a naive population.
What you haven't seen a lot written about is that the same thing probably happened in the past with every new cold virus that was introduced into the human population - an initial burst that wiped out more than its fair share of people in the first few waves then settled into background noise. The only difference now are demographics (we are much older and much fatter than we were for the first couple hundred thousand years of human history) and the ability to monitor.

Not if you keep addressing me with that tone.

I made the comment nearly a year ago, if we had these kind of protocols when AIDS hit the street it would have been eradicated in no time. But govts didn’t care about gays and blacks.

It was obvious that it was never going away immediately.
Who in the hell are these people that are so convinced we should have altered the entire way we live our life for this virus?

Funnily enough, much of the initial epidemiological thinking around the virus (the contact tracing schemes, especially) came about from the reaction to AIDS.
That failed fricking miserably because it's a completely different virus with a completely different risk and transmission profile. I am actually pretty optimistic there will be some cool innovations coming out of this in applicable epidemiology as long as the public health nerds who wanted everyone to run away from the virus for months and years on end come to their senses and realize they were wrong.

Vaccination drives hold out the promise of curbing Covid-19, but governments and businesses are increasingly accepting what epidemiologists have long warned: The pathogen will circulate for years, or even decades, leaving society to coexist with Covid-19 much as it does with other endemic diseases like flu, measles, and HIV.
Of course it’s here to stay. There are six other coronaviruses that have been sickening humans for centuries, maybe eons. Hopefully, modern medical technology will give us a universal coronavirus vaccine but we’ll just have to adjust to CV-19 until it does. It’ll mutate continually in the giant human population just as the others do but it won’t go away.

Scruffy, did you take the vaccine? Will I have to wear a mask forever? How is the facility wherever you are??
Posted on 2/18/21 at 9:26 pm to Scruffy
What do you think won’t return to what it was pre Covid?
Posted on 2/18/21 at 9:31 pm to AbuTheMonkey
It would have been tough with AIDS with the latent period. Simply saying we can’t allow Africans and gays to travel without having proof of negative test wouldn’t have floated.
