^^ where do you even get your numbers from?


The 600 was made up, i don't know how many were lied to "it's safe to travel, you won't receive your money back from cancelled trips if you don't want to travel". I don't gamble lives for profits like the others do.

Many mistakes will be brought to the court rooms before it's ending, i told you i'm one activist that is for global changes, no matter the cost. i needed to know the truth, would they side for money? or lives? so far money it was, but i'm highly against greed, there mistake.

what happens next is on them.

Also when i stated i knew how to fix world issues....what if covid 19 was my answer? not my fault people chose the worst path of action for most deaths vs prevention measures. But i'm just a fear monger it seems, yet i wasn't wrong....i wasn't lying to what i stated at the beginning.

Real question you should ask, is why is the world set on pathway that thinks vaccines will stop this? how rare are breakthrough cases/deaths with a number as high as 7.8-7.9 billion people world wide? .........nothing changes, billions lost for what? fired people for not getting it, caused a great divide against people? for what gain?

world lost, i played my chess game, i knew the moves they would choose. favouring lives is the only answer i can accept for past mistakes made against me during my 7+ lives. i won't allow the world to get away with this.

As far as i'm aware, i'm the only one who knows how to stop all the wars that may start, plus covid 19. it's all a test of time on values.

^i would state more on that regard but would get political so i won't state my evidence on that.

Even this tenebri, https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/frustration-is-real-ontario-politicians-agree-on-eliminating-covid-19-lockdowns-1.5761605

I read that and i can see in seconds it's outcome, won't end well sadly. the above is a very dangerous move, but the world is giving up too fast.

Only method to manage this virus is to limit travel, virus spreads fast, and we travel fast = double negative against our fight against it.

^that is one pillar to why we are failing.

@XSlay4DeathX,
Welcome back. So during your last hiatus from this thread a number of things have happened. The new variant that started sweeping countries around the world over Christmas seems (at least for the most part) to have passed its peak with cases and the test-case positivity dropping off significantly.

Thankfully, with a high level of vaccination and a variant that has shown to be much weaker, this new wave has seemingly started to disappear as quickly as it arrived with a MUCH lower rate of hospitalization and deaths as a result.

Many countries are now adopting the "Learn to live with it" strategy given we now have vaccines that will continue to develop over time (as has been the case in the history of medical science) and the risk of severe illness as a result of Covid-19 is no longer as dangerous as it once was in the beginning, thus the shift to learning to live with it because it seems we've now reached a point in time where the impacts of continuing with extensive lockdowns, travel restrictions and so forth would be more severe than just living with it given we now have a way to prevent severe illness.

I know we as humans like to think we're all powerful, significant in the grand scheme of things and have a great deal of impact on the planet and the environment we live in, and while that's somewhat true in some instances (e.g our impact on climate change) it's not the case in everything.

There are somethings in this world that we simply cannot control or at least not completely. There's a million and one things out there that could harm us as humans, viruses (lots of them) being one, and we can't stop or prevent all of those things, we can just do our best to prevent if possible or mitigate where we can and this scenario is a mitigate type situation given the cat is out of the bag so-to-speak as far as Covid is concerned.

@joel, there is a huge difference to prevention pathways vs luck of the draw (RNG). During a world issue the rules must change but everyone tried to lie their way past it to save profit losses but in doing so = loss of life.

World needs educated further on these matters.

As i stated, my goal is designing new advanced systems that target most world issues but only failure on your current ones will push its need.

As for covid 19, i wouldn't let your guard down too fast, after all it's against us, like me, knows your pathway to derail you.

I want covid 19 to end but i don't think we are close yet to its ending. "when you think your close but once at the finish line it backfires, can shatter even the brightest and heathiest state of being in regarding to mental health breaches" :(

I told you, i know everything that can play out, well most of it. what happens will happen sadly.

I hope i am wrong and it stops tho. But you guys don't play the best cards even if you were allowed to cheat and pick your cards. All you see is "$" signs when more important things are on the table.

Unfortunately, the world isn't as simple or black and white as your view of the world makes out it is. It all sounds very easy and simple to shut down ALL travel, limit ALL movement until this virus passes. That was maybe in the realm of possibility very early on but even then, you simply cannot shut everything down, you just can't, that's the reality.

Essential workers still need to work, supply chain still needs to be upheld which by its very nature requires quite a substantial amount of movement around the globe and in that comes the risk of transmission.

But we're not in 2020 anymore, we're in 2022 where vaccines are now readily available (although we could do better for developing nations) and will get better / adapt over time as we encounter new variants so we're better equipped (somewhat at least).

Viruses over time typically become weaker but more transmissible - that's exactly what we saw in this latest variant. It resulted in huge case numbers but with a much lower rate of hospitalization and death which is good news.

With a much lower risk to severe illness and death, we for the most part can start to proceed by living with it without it overwhelming healthcare systems & making a lot of people severely ill.

One thing I find unfortunate is the attitude we all seem to have taken.

Like... it seems that now there really isn't a way to stop it. We're kind of just treating it as a 'postpone it' sort of situation rather than 'we can prevent this' kind of thing?

A few family members, namely those with children in school, have just kind of resigned themselves to their inevitable fate of catching Covid. With schools not closing, and children being the germ factories they are, it does seem that way.

It just sucks. :L
Arrr! Only th' Devil an' I know th' where'bouts o' me treasure, an' th' one o' us who lives th' longes' should take i' all.

I think pretty early on it was unfortunately quite clear we weren't going to be able to stop it dead in its tracks but instead just have to manage it's spread as best we could until vaccines arrived. :(

Thankfully, Covid is no longer as new or as dangerous as it once was, partly because we have effective vaccines and secondly because as it mutates, it seems to be also weakening so for the vast majority of people, especially those who are vaccinated will probably have mild symptoms, not need any form of hospitalization and will be over it in a few days.

I just hope some valuable lessons have been learnt in terms of actively monitoring animal populations for viruses that could hop to become harmful to us & be able to intercept earlier for any future outbreaks (which is inevitable at some point) :)

On a more positive note, because of the situation it's put more pressure on the development of mRNA vaccine technology etc which is great news for the future of vaccines.

@XSlay4DeathX,
I'm not sure what the wild tangent was about so I'll gloss over that but it seems to me based on the fact that you keep repeating the same things, over and over again, continually, as though you want to try and turn back the clock to change things. We can't. What's done is done.

Like I said, we're not in 2020 anymore, we're in 2022 where we have vaccines, a virus which is less dangerous to us now and likely will turn into an endemic where there'll be enough immunity from both vaccines and natural infection that Covid will still continue to spread but with less transmission and much less hospitalization & deaths.

So instead of focusing on what could or should have been 1 or 2 years ago, why not focus on what our current situation is and where we go from here. Based on what's happening now, it looks likely that as countries continue to rollout boosters and build up a good level of immunity, we'll enter the endemic phase whereby most restrictions will be lifted and we'll continue into a new normal while Covid continues to be around but not at a level that poses significant risk to either people or healthcare systems.

That's essentially where we seem to be going, not in a direction that sees all travel come to a halt, further strict lockdowns and a limitation or prevention of all movement when the current situation just doesn't justify such action.
