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.

It has not succeeded in the vast majority of places that have tried. It does not make sense to continue the charade in those places.

have they really tried? i agree that once contact tracing is totally overwhelmed there’s no putting the genie back in the bottle but sensible policies like indoor public mask use and testing / quarantine or vaccination with travel has a clear influence on the spread of variants

Lets deal with reality of the situation rather than counterfactual. The reality is that they did not work (regardless of level of effort) and they will never convince the population after lie after lie after lie. Halfway lockdowns have not work and need to end.

if you want to make the case that any time now, after vaccines are available to anyone who wants them, quit halfway lockdowns and the least efficient mandates (surface deep cleaning and outdoor masks) well yeah 100%. there's still got to be testing/vaccination for travel imo
