Failure to acknowledge the endemic nature of this virus from the beginning and instead focus on the impossible task of eradication brought us to this point. The blame lies with The Experts™.

How absurd, the US has done approximately zilch on eradication since the 2020 circuit breaker shutdown. We've had rampant, uncontrolled community transmission in the the US, not COVID-zero politics. Reasonable mitigation efforts have long since been abandoned in favor of vax only myopia.
Rampant transmission of Alpha, Beta and Delta didn't protect us from Omicron, why do you think Omicron will protect us from what comes afterward?
You've totally suc bed to myth on this.
"If you get this vaccine you can't get the virus"
Wasn't me that suc bed to a myth tbh
I never made that claim. It's super clear the US hasn't been trying to eradicate COVID at all -- where do you get that idea?
yeah, i'm still trying to recall hearing any credible source where "eradication" was the endgame.
lol down here again....letting it go full blown hoping herd immunity to protect next variant, yet hospitals cant keep up while health workers are just like everyone else, putting down by covid and labour shortages hurting every industry...whether its hospitality, supply chains, manufacturing...stupid govt didnt think ahead, yet still continue flying in monkeys outside of the country just because the minimal fdi they bring into the country verse the economy/population held as collateral...
2 years down the drain, nothing to see here...might as well purge parts of the population who are non contributing taxpayers while they at it....
You wanted to "ring vaccinate" the virus away cuz smallpox
Woulda coulda shoulda
read my thread (this one) from page 1 to around page 500. I was all for containment.
That ship sailed over 1 year ago.
I knew we were gonna live with the virus when we entered "uncontrolled spread" territory.
Yes there was a time frame where we could have contained the virus. we didnt.
Its too late now.
Time to face the music.
We are gonna have to learn to live with covid and.no amount of ing is gonna change that.
Cheers![]()
People ing about our endgame not being erradication now are just like people ing about Pop not inserting Timmy to rebound in 2013
Wake the up.
Ship has sailed.
More things seemed possible a year and a half ago. Public health is hard. You float a lot of ideas trying to think things through. Some of them will be wrong, not sure what's so disgraceful about that.
The pickle we're in wasn't inevitable from the beginning, choices mattered then and they matter now. Sadly, Trump and Biden have sacrificed public health to political narratives and ROI..
The USA was just never good enough to beat covid. Not in 2020
Not in 2021
Not in 2022
Let me be clear. THE USA IS.NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BEAT.COVID. we never were.
We will have to rely on natural mutations to hope on improvements.
"Well if we would have at least tried we woulda beat it"
Nothats a fairy tale.
only two viruses have ever been "eradicated" and you're patting yourself on the back for "calling it" on a basketball forum. okay neostradamus...![]()
And you are ing that "well we didnt try"
Omicron just drained a 3 pointer on your ass and did the big balls dance on your face.![]()
you're stuck in a loop of posting replies to things that were never even said. no wonder you have over 60,000 posts. that sedentary lifestyle is going to put you in the hospital before any virus could.
my state down here is 17-20k cases a days, problem is the stupid govt doesnt records positive cases from the antigen test kits... which means the real number is higher...
So then, let 'er rip?
Do nothing to mitigate 20,000-30,000 foreseeable deaths per week?

Unless the mandate is "do not admit unvaccinated COVID visitors to the hospital," I'm fine with having no mandates of any kind.
Let those who roll the dice suffer the consequences. We're down to a negligible amount of blameless victims at this point. Those who are vaccinated have very little to worry about, and those who are still worried can self quarantine.
those who are vaccinated still have to worry due to monkeys with covid still out about spreading that , even if your close contact u still have to isolate at home means no work, no money...businesses struggling with not enough workers which hurts the supply chain in some industries like food...time to purge the population and deny antivax clowns a hospital bed...
ps. not a bad time to go on strike ask for a payrise
I take that back, I would also approve of a mandate to force-vaccinate every holdout in America.
You continue to go with the infection vs. disease BS.
Can you please stop this nonsense. Find something else this useless, at least it will be new.
The one in a fantasy loop is you
"We didnt even try. We coulda won the ship easily vs Covid team"
Delusional homer
You make zero sense.
