I guess we're not worried about the long term effect of the virus either? Planning on avoiding getting infected for the next 10y so that we can learn more about it as well?
Especially ironic if it ends up that the virus was escaped from a lab.
- ghoward 5y agoThere is a chance that I will not get the virus at all.
- SketchySeaBeast 5y agoTo quote another thing you said: > Also, by 2031 (if not already), COVID will be endemic.
- ghoward 5y agoStill a chance that I won't get it. Endemic also means that it's constantly mutating, like the flu. I may never get the current strain of COVID-19.
- SketchySeaBeast 5y agoYeah, but the next strain could be even worse. You seem comfortable playing the odds if you can be passive while doing it instead of making the active choice of getting a vaccination, even if the odds of the worse thing happening is many orders of magnitude greater.
- ghoward 5y agoThat's because of the Precautionary Principle. Also, as viruses mutate, they tend to get less dangerous.
