I'd say all of us will get it at some point just my opinion. I was sick in June for about a week and I think I had covid. Never got tested though so I dunno but I was grand within a week.
Had a runny nose cough wheezing chest sore throat and a fairly high fever. It basically felt like a really bad flue bit more than the average man flue  |

I tested positive after starting with a sore throat. The feeling of tiredness and general lack of energy was brutal. Still got of lightly as was able to stay working from home, so I was luckier than most. |

I read a good article in the national geographic:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/api.nationalgeographic.com/distribution/public/amp/science/2020/12/we-now-know-how-much-children-spread-coronavirus
Islandic research has shown that children (up to 10/12 years) get and spread it half as much as adults and when they get it, it was transmitted from adults and not from child to child. Different story with teenagers. Any how it means schools aren’t the primary drivers of outbreaks, but cases will seep in and contribute to the disease’s spread whenever a country loses control of containing the pandemic.' I think we've lost the control over Christmas so it wouldn't be clever to send the kids back to school until the figures come down substantially. |

your last sentence is exactly what I'm saying. numbers rocketed over the Xmas period so now potentially more closures until numbers subside. I'd even bring in additional measures in factories and probably close construction |

"Few members have had it and to be honest it doesn't sound that bad.. I take vitamin d and zinc supplement every day anyway so should be ok.. I think the mass hysteria is over nothing  "
I'll remind my uncle and cousins that they should just get over my Aunty dying from Covid and really it was nothing |

"I think the whole country should go into lock down closing boarders and airports to get it settled then go back to normal "
the problem when it goes back to normal is it just jumps again. 10 months into this the only solution is lockdowns.

There are other solutions:
Model China, complete surveillance of every citizen, say ciao to freedom of speech and movement, forget about personal data protection
Model New Zealand, lock down until 0 and then close the door, whoever wants to enter the country will be locked into 14 days quarantine at a hotel. Not really feasible with the North and as a member of the EU.
Model Taiwan, I don't even have to explain that one, just forget about it, we would never ever have the discipline and organisational skill.
There was once model Sweden but it was declared 'death by covid-19', so not a goer.
Bottom line get that vaccine out as fast as we can... oh wait, the EU hasn't ordered enough respectively put their bets on the wrong horse because it was cheaper...  |

there was always going to be a fuck up with the vaccine here to some degree |

The astra zenica vaccine only has a 67% efficacy.. Only reason they are promoting it is cause its cheaper to produce and store over the other more effective vaccines that need to be stored at -60..
Is there any point taking it then? |
