I mean, everyone will come in contact but I doubt everyone will get it!
I was on my phone earlier so more thoughts. We are in a vicious feedback loop between media - which of course only cares about bad news forever - and government - which uses media to push fear and is also pushed to fear by media. Both benefit from this state of affairs and so it will continue until something else comes along to snap them out of it. People, also, want this. They are made terrified for what amounts to a cold or flu to the vast majority (IFR less than flu, especially thanks to vaccination), and push for restrictions forever thinking an endemic virus which shall never go away can just be disappeared. Won't happen, but that doesn't matter. Doesn't help many in my generation - I'm in my thirties - like the idea of a nanny state, believe our rights can be disposed of at will if government says so, and have an inordinate amount of trust in government and bureaucracies especially when they say it's for the common good and virtue signal to be a good person, look, it's The Science (not really), but the government says so. Then you add in social media, and government using social media crazies as public opinion...
So a loop that will never end, and frankly I doubt governments wish for it to. The initial panic believing the CCP propaganda was madness. A sudden switch flipped, after saying it's gonna be like every other coronavirus on the planet and sometimes bad, most of the time not, not a problem, nothing to worry about. WHO covered for the CCP for months and months. The CCP pushed Italy into lockdown. Now lockdown is the only policy to pursue, because now we have admitted our freedoms are owned by our governments and can be doled out or removed at will, and people are okay with this. Western civilization is a hot mess. The CCP imo is real pleased with themselves. They won the war against the West without firing a shot. Our pandemic plans previously were live with it and move on, don't restrict travel, never keep kids out of school except for maybe a short period of time, masks do nothing and do not work, all common sense stuff: wash hands, if you are at risk take care of yourself!
None of this has to do with public health or science. Never did - never will.
ETA - I'm a pessimist but I also worked for Congress, so I know how these people think. They want to stay in power, so if they think these measures are popular or are terrified by our health bureaucrats, it'll 100% continue.
(PS What the scientist said is indeed true. It can hit older people harder. As does the cold, as does flu! Which is why vaccinating THOSE populations is important. The rest of us? Harmless. Mutating into your everyday coronavirus which is great news. You would imagine though it is the apocalypse, because reporting on it as such is beneficial. $$$, clicks, and control.)
scary thing is, if I caught it, I’d be fucked. I’ve had open heart surgery and have a leaky valve but I won’t tell the bastard if you don’t
