The severity of mild covid is still potentially long lasting and I'm willing to guess elderly aren't going to handle it well.
Letting covid become endemic could reduce our life expecty considerably.
I'm confused by this comment. I do think they are a problem, that's why I am encouraged by a vaccine that reduces covid to something that is not life threatening and that we can stop freaking out about.
I am relatively certain this is the reason they are banned from youtube... i have seen a (now removed) video from a crank on youtube who suggested saturation bombing of high incidence areas might be the solution...
edit: curious how hn readers feel they will be able to correct misguided beliefs if they don't even know what those beliefs are.
It's a problem, but we can manage it better than overflowing morgues. Frequent tests, rapid antigen testing (let's say at the entrance of restaurants, clubs, festivals), encouraging people who feel ill to stay the fuck away from others, and so on.
