Infectious respiratory diseases with high antigenic shift mutate as all the other coronaviruses have. It's becoming endemic and your side needs to adapt to that FACT unless you vaccinate the 3 billion people in the world who won't have access to vaccines for years

we have the tools to get back to normal, if we use them. vaccines + testing plus travel restrictions. if we do that we can beat the pandemic but we have to actually scale it. if we run loose we are rolling the dice with all these variants, we’ll lose the capability to control it

I'm already back to normal as should anyone who has already had covid or had a vaccine.

You are not going to defeat this pandemic. I admire the optimism but sometimes its worse to keep on fighting when all signs point to having lost.

we have the technology and it’s massively underpriced. we just need scale up and most variants and introductions / outbreaks will go subcritical. the Atlantic bubble, australia, new zealand are holding can’t i count on our industrial capitalist society for scale up of a product?

but travel without testing + quarrantine or vaccines is how we’re going to spread variants, and we’re looking at multiple like doublings of attack rate, r0, severity, etc. the magnitude of how bad this gets is fat tailed and path dependent. social scenes skeptical it’s over:

In the entire history of movement we have never once been able to successfully stop the mass of humanity from movement. It is in our nature. I think you are trying to engineer non-engineerable phenomena and that it will not work out and that we should focus on other pressing stuf

look, maybe you can see it this way -- it has succeeded and still worth it to the populations to nova scotia and australia and new zealand and wherever to hold strong and maintain contact tracing and testing and travel restrictions in case it mutates and gets far worse.

big international events like the olympics threaten to circulate variants and we have already seen how much worse that can be. and even without vaccines some governments have shown it possible to drive infections to zero. travel restrictions are one of the best tools we've got
