I think it's increasingly become evident that the right course of action should have been containment of the virus which would allow humanity at least a decade of research on treatments. Covid is such a bad virus, with so many long-term effects and unknown outcomes in the future that live experiments don't seem warranted anymore. We overestimated how prepared we are to deal with it. There is still simple measures we can be taking, today, in winter months, to halt the spread with lifestyle changes, but there is not even talk of it anymore
- nathias 4y agothis is magical thinking, we demonstrated beyond all that we can not contain viruses that spread that fast
- seydor 4y agoSome places demonstrated that it is possible. I don't see really evidence that the reverse is inevitable.
- thinkingemote 4y agoyou answered your own question. Some places can do it. All places cannot. Geography and international politics. Poverty, education, corruption, actual warzones, famines and natural disasters, even month long riots in developed countries - all these are happening now and happened every year since 2019. It's completely impossible for the world to stop the virus as a world.
- nathias 4y agodo you mean the small island states?
