And deaths tend to trail that rise by 2-4 weeks. Sweden doesn't have herd immunity! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Even in China, it keeps popping up. NZ and Vietnam it has popped back up as well. And Thailand - no real proof that it went away as no mass testing. I'm sorry but we're all over lockdowns. No more - we're done with them. Time to move on and give up on trying something that is just a waste of time and ruins the economy. You're really extremely fixed on your views. That is clear. And you've the right to be. However we've also the right to oppose them, and it doesn't make up "grannie killers", "fascists" or whatever other accusations you want to sling at us. Throwing names at people with different opinions achieves nothing. Give it up. New Zealand has had a highly successful lockdown. They have had a little flare up of 25 cases today which they should be able to target through tracing and get the numbers back down. If they had no lockdown who knows where they'd be. Likely a lot worse than 27 deaths. New Zealand is an island country, with low population compared to crowded European cities etc, and most people supported a tough lockdown so it worked. There's more evidence of masks being effective too. Czechia brought in masks early and got the cases down quickly but, since they stopped wearing them, cases have gone out of control. I take your point that lockdowns have a huge cost. I am in Melbourne and from this Sunday we should be able to do most things with around 5 cases per day. It has worked but at a big cost. I personally think it's worth it. Better to be in Melbourne than in Prague or in many European and US cities that are out of control. If Trump had've just gone all in 6 months ago, and made certain behaviour mandatory for a time e.g. masks, instead of playing politics, they could've done a lot better, in my opinion.

Funnily enough Somtam and the fish intensive diet of Isaan is rich in vitamin D which is thought to be a major contributing factor in the immune system.Notice there are no reported Covid deaths in Laos and the Isaan region there are very few reported deaths.So it's quite possible that Somtam acts as a vaccine. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You'll get shouted at and called a grannie killer soon enough. I'm hard of hearing so the shouting just sounds normal to me.I read an article that said they can't do proper vaccine trials because not enough people are getting sick enough to indicate possible outcomes of the trials.That's a bit of an indicator of the severity of this virus which is less than the severity of the fear. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites
balo 12,649 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 The Spanish flu was widespread 90 years ago , people still remember it today but they are not afraid of it because the virus disappeared a few years later. Same will happen to COVID-19, we will remember it but it will not affect us 10 years from now! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You get enough vitamin D from normal amounts of sunlight and a normal diet. Its been proved that, for most people,vitamin D supplements add nothing to you for Covid protection. Some people in the UK have been prosecuted for advertising vitamin D supplements as a prevention for Covid. Link to post Share on other sites
