I was thinking... If you can get Corona more than twice...how effective would a vaccine be anyways.
Shouldn't we all just get exposed and get it over with.
People wearing masks,sanitising etc fall ill so what did the masks and sanitizer reall do? Stop them from being exposed to too much Corona particles???
This is a question not a random thought.

Interesting thoughts ;)
"Shouldn't we all just get exposed and get it over with" ... It's mutating, so I'm not convinced that this would help, (not unlike flu in many ways).

"People wearing masks, sanitising etc. fall ill so what did the masks and sanitizer really do? Stop them from being exposed to too much Corona particles???" ... It reduces the risk of transmission as apposed to stopping it in it's tracks, remembering that there are other methods of transmission, hence the need to also sanitisise and maintain social distancing.

The estimate of people getting recurring symptoms months down the line is in the 70% range, if you want permanent CNS damage and vascular damage, sure catching it would be a good idea. There is no such thing as natural herd immunity with these kinds of things, please get this idea out and in the trash. Stuff like the black plague quietened down because there were people with random gene mutations that did not allow it to replicate, and it killed off too many vectors before it could carry on circulating, but even that is still around.

There are a few reasons people get it twice.

Their body does not produce enough of a immune response, which in time wanes, this is dependent on different factors, point of infection, initial viral load, own physiology as well as the strain. The initial strain doesn't replicate as quickly in everyone as the new variants do, so this also won't produce as strong as an immune response, allowing for the new strain to replicate and overload the body quicker. Which is why they know that the vaccine response will pick up the new strain but are still looking if the vaccine response is strong enough to completely stop it.

Masks as stated many times are only about 70% effective at keeping the particles out IF USED CORRECTLY but 90% at keeping them in if you are sick. The masks aren't failing, the improper use of masks is failing, people are simply not wearing them correctly, cross infecting them etc etc. Washing hands/sanitizer? I've watched hundreds of people get it on their hands and do a quick rub, it's honestly as though no one has ever been taught how to wash their hands. Literally everyone I know personally who got it, got it from breaking protocol, dinner parties, gym. etc etc

There is also the fact that eyes are still uncovered, there are almost 0 pathogens that cannot make their way in to your body through your eyes.


Literally the only reason people are still contracting it is because they are mucking about.

This to me sounds like:

Lets take all the old and co-morbid people and kill them, then let's take all the infected people and kill them and then there will be no one to infect us.

I know let's take everyone, put us in a line in front of a machine gun, but

we will use a bind person as the gunner. We all know she will get some and miss some, but hey.

Rightio then let's all line up shall we.

  • The UK has extended its travel ban until 15 February 2021, with British Airways halting additional flight bookings from South Africa.

  • Dubai’s new travel restrictions deny entry to anybody who has travelled from or through South Africa in the past ten days.
  • Only travellers holding valid Dubai residence visas will be permitted to enter but must first get permission from the UAE government.
  • This coincides with Emirates Airlines’ decision to halt flights to and from South Africa until 28 January.

  • KLM has cut flights from South Africa as the Netherlands just announced new travel restrictions in response to new Covid-19 variants.
  • The flight ban is effective from 23 January 2021 and passengers will be contacted and re-booked on alternative flights at no additional cost.
  • KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has cancelled all of its long-haul flights.
 
Sorry about that, in another lifetime, time dimension or alternative spacial, things may have been different.

I am so dumb, of course they are different, silly me.

Now when you get it it's like going straight to the 5th mutation and your body is in shock because it wasn't prepared.
Almost like going from MTL from a pod to the expromizer v5. And then you can't wick it:meparto:

..
It didn't reduce the risk of transmission to those that were protected and still got it. This thing was designed to take people out. So whether you have a mask on and sanitize, your still getting it if you're high risk.

My brother that is what is happening. I didn't do it I didn't create a virus that kills people. I'm just here to tell you that someone did and is getting away with it.
But let's do the machine gun trick it will save a lot of people this agony:zpong:
