I tend to agree.
I just bought 6 containers of 80 Lysol Wipes today in preparation for riding out this wave of the virus and I am concerned about how infectious it is however I am not willing to live my life in fear forever.
We are approaching one year since this virus was first uncovered and the world has ground to a halt ever since. I was born in 1987 and lived through SARS.
With SARS we did not wear masks, we did not lock everything down and we were not as panicky for as long. The world did not end, things did not go to hell in a handbasket and the economy did not crumble.
I am as worried as the next person but I am getting quite tired of being locked down with shortages everywhere as well as the need for masks. It is a pain in the ass and quite frankly it is getting old rather quickly.
This is obviously not going away any time soon and I am not willing to be locked down forever wearing a mask everywhere living in fear. Find a Vaccine or move on end of story.
I am not an anti-mask/anti-vaxxer but I am a realist and the fact is we cannot live this way indefinitely. For the benefit of everyone's mental health and life as we know it, we need to go back to the way life was pre-covid.
SARS? The problem here is transmission. SARS was more deadly but transmission was nowhere near that of COVID 19. Problem with COVID is it is so easily transmitted and also the number of asymptomatic people. That is the biggest problem. You can show no symptoms but have COVID and spread it. Not the case with SARS.
I lived through SARS. It was nothing like this.
