Covid 19 Pandemie

If you search on https://ourworldindata.org/ for the country's with the lowest vaccination rates (poor country's), you wil see that these country's also have the lowest confirmed COVid infections and COVid deaths.

I wonder what would be the explanation for this?

I haven't looked at this, but assuming good faith in Jonathan (and there's absolutely no reason not to), it likely comes down to exposure to fungi, bacteria and viruses. In the rich countries, we eat too much, move too little, and keep our environment too clean, so our immune systems are out of tune.

My prescription - and a message to my fellow rich country men: we need to...

More then one million dead people due to covid in russia. Dictator of course denies it.

I cannot find this in any news source. If it's correct, then my guess would be that someone has done a projection from a small sample size.

Today's UK infection number is an all-time high - 106,122. The previous peak was the 17th December with 92,500.

The problem for us might be too many heath care staff self isolating at the same time. Too many people getting seriously is looking a bit unlikely now.

Another new all-time high today: 119,789

USA infection rate shooting up - looks as though Omicron has landed.

Israel rate beginning to noticeably climb now.

There's no escaping the beast!

If Omnikron is 50% less severe. Maybe then divide figure by two for comparison.

That's why they start with a fourth dosis shot of Pfizer.
Where wil this end in the long run?

We've all heard Albert Einstein's famous line: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
I suggest trying other measures.

The first thing i would find out is how Omicron could have been mutated with 24 changes ! To me that looks very impossible.

Germany 265,8

I have seen no reasons to change my view since Monday (link) that Omicron could be the variant that ends this pandemic.

I also seriously believe that Covid-19 will be the last pandemic in history. Look what we have now, that we didn't have at the start of the Covid-19 outbreak:

* accurate mapping of how the virus's protein folding works

* vaccines in record time

* universal vaccines (there's already a universal flu vaccine in trial - link - it won't take forever to create a universal Corona Virus vaccine)

* new antiviral drugs in record time

* AI that picks out candidates from drugs that are already approved for use against the new disease

* artificial antibodies that quickly heal someone who is sick (the treatment Trump had)

All these products are only going to get quicker and cheaper going forward.

Another record breaking day!

...but perhaps an unwanted record...

Today's infection number 122,186

If the current trend continues, Omicron will be almost gone from South Africa in just a few weeks!

In the 1350s, transport was slow and expensive - but that didn't stop the spread of the black death!



We the humans can learn to control disease faster than nature can learn how to spread it via rapid transport! We are the kings!

Germany 242,9

After 220,7 yesterday it now rises to 222,7. turning Point,

Seems the numbers now climb again.

Christmas is over. Virus can start booming now.

I don't know what the British numbers are: apparently, we take a break from counting Covid infections over Christmas!

I'm autistic and I'm raised as a Jehovah's witness.

I know I shouldn't answer this, but you got me. Some of the smartest people I know are Jehovah's witnesses.

As you're probably aware, you're not the only autistic person here - so if nothing else, at least you'll be understood!

From your highlighting, I gather that you see pestilence as a threat to the future of human society.

I would prioritise threats to society as follows (with VERY brief explanations)

1. economic collapse (too much debt, too many people spending too much money on absolute crap)

2. oligarchy taking over from democracy. This one is difficult to demonstrate, but an oligarchy is emerging and is steadily taking control in democratic countries. In the past, oligarch takeover has resulted in a 50% drop in the population.

You've already seen why I believe that advancing medical technology is making pestilence less off a threat.

If your parents brought you up as a Jehovah's witness, then it is very likely that this point of view is now deeply ingrained in you, and nothing is going to change your mind about that quickly. I'm not even going to try. Again, you probably already know that my view is that a widely accepted moral code is extremely valuable - but this cannot be the Bible, because it is outdated.

For me, the best hope for improving morality is that the AI will help people see that moral behaviour is actually in their own best interests.

There is absolutely no need for religion.
It only destroys the capability to think on your own.
