The Light at the End of the Tunnel.

As the Covid Crisis goes on and on and on, we are encouraged to look for the light at the end of the tunnel. But the light always proves to be yet another express train bearing down on us at full throttle. Now we have the Mu and C.I.6 variants headed our way, while both cases and deaths from Delta are still on the rise (though maybe about to peak out). In the beginning, we were asked to mask and social distance to flatten the curve, then locked down (for 15 days), not to stop the covid but to keep the deliberately understaffed (for bigger profits) healthcare system from collapsing. The lockdown went on and on until many if not most small businesses were on the verge of collapse, and the real mainstreet economy itself was headed for bankruptcy. Of course, this enabled huge corporations to buy up even more of America and the rich to get even richer. After the restrictions were lifted, the Covid began to surge again by the end of summer and now we are being "encouraged" to mask up again and stay home if possible. Needless to say, these restrictions are not being greeted with open arms! Distrust of the Government and Government/big pharma healthcare is sinking to an all time low. While the WHO and "the science" says we should be doing everything possible to vaccinate the rest of the globe, big pharma, through their spokesman Bill Gates, is resisting relaxing the patent laws and allowing other countries to produce the vaccines. At the same time, the West, led by Israel, is proposing booster shots for those already vaccinated - a losing game as the variants will soon outrun the vaccine producers - but it does guarantee maximum and endless profits for the vaccine producers! Now we are at a turning point. The Covid is obviously going to be with us for the foreseeable future. We can either learn to live with it, or we can succumb to panic and allow our leaders to turn our countries into police states. The latter seems to be the course Australia is taking. It is also the course being promoted for the USA by those in charge. Create a two tier society where you have to be vaccinated to participate, then try every trick in the book to force those resisting vaccination to be vaccinated. Make everyone carry papers proving they have been - hypocritical considering they won't require proof of citizenship for people to vote! And this obviously won't work because people will have to get booster after booster (as Israel is already proving) even though there is almost no science behind that approach. This is going to create even more bitterness, hatred, and division. Eventually it will provoke an uprising, either at the polls or a violent one. The alternative would be to double down on testing out the new drugs that have been discovered to moderate covid symptoms and cut deaths. Get them made easily available to all. Stop lying, as just happened with the Ivermectin. That may well not do anything, but there were no deaths in hospitals from it and they got caught out. Encourage vaccination but do not require it. See that the vaccines are available to everyone, not just those in the wealthy countries. Recognize having had the covid as equivalent to having been vaccinated. Use some logic and reason. The virus is usually an airborn aerosol. Staying 6 feet apart is not going to do too much good. Getting it out of the air would do far more. Air circulation in buildings such as schools, offices, theaters, churches and public transportation needs to be analyzed by engineers and rerouted as necessary. UVC air purifiers need to be installed. Masks will not stop the virus, but do reduce the load. And the load is key. If you inhale too much virus, it can overwhelm your immune system and you will get the covid, even if you had it before or were vaccinated. But logically, if you inhale less than that amount, it will spur your immune system to eliminate it, thus keeping your immunity up so you don't require endless booster shots. The problem is you have no idea how much you are breathing in. Reducing the amount of aerosolized virus in the air in buildings, trains, and planes would almost certainly solve a lot of problems with covid. Masking can help, even outdoors where huge crowds are present, but is not going to be tolerated by most people as a long term solution. The present top down command and control solution is neither going to work nor will it be tolerated for long. Making it last as long as it has involved continually stirring up panic to get people to go along with it. That has its own price on mental health and economic loss. It especially will not work when the people invoking it are the "do as I say and not as I do" hypocrit types, which seems to be almost universally the case.
