Bio security

Do you think covid measures will remain indefinitely?

Travel limitations and social restrictions, immunity passports.

Re: Bio security

If they do, they will only affect 10% of an over 50s perceived lifespan, so, it will be worse for the youngsters, who seem to be the spreaders, but maybe not so.

Re: Bio security

Covid is a relatively new virus. Until we can develop a vaccine which is capable of coping with all new variants, we will have to keep some restrictions. But eventually we will have a vaccine capable of keeping us safe - it's happened before with smallpox and typhoid and various other virus borne disease.

Hi

Covid is a remarkably ineffective bio weapon.

A real one would be very different.

Re: Bio security

I thought all restrictions were being abandoned from July 19th - or has Boris the Barmy changed his mind again?

Re: Bio security

I think people will start to just reject things going in that direction and go back to normality. It's not the first time we have had to deal with a deadly communicable disease and the longer it is researched the more progress we will make in understanding, prevention and treatment.

That rather depends on the nature and objectives (war aims) of the conflict. In any case the most essential part is the creation of a a vaccine before release.
