As we can see today, there's a lot of panic whenever any unlinked community cases pop up. But the main point is not eliminating every single incoming case, but making sure they never spread. As much as I find our current restrictions somewhat annoying, I have to admit they remain very effective. In particular, general mask usage and group size of max 8 definitely sets a limit on spread. Did anyone read about the recent superspreader event in Fiji? A single person managed to infect 500 people at a funeral. Outside our dorms, I don't see the same happening here - too many layers of protection. Apparently super spreader events account for 80% of all infections, so "eliminating" their potential is a big deal. We still have too little vaccination coverage for vaccines to act as a population buffer - we need to get +50% coverage before they really kick-in, like in Israel & UK. Hopefully we'll get there in a few months. The best we can do is GET VACCINATED! I've got 2nd jab coming up next week. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDC has said less than 10% of cases had been contracted outdoors, and that the chances of getting it was "slim" and near zero with vaccination, so long as people are still sensible. Oh, wait........ I've just put "US" and "sensible" in the same sentence, oops. Jewish owned space lasers starting forest fires, anybody? Fauci is confused at present moment ...

Also transmission is certainly suppressed, enough to make a difference at population level. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we'll get there in a few months. The best we can do is GET VACCINATED! I've got 2nd jab coming up next week. In hindsight, the UK decision to delay second shots of AZ to 3-months was a good call - concentrate first on as many people as possible. Their rate of fully vaccinated people is relatively low, but they have more than half of adults with their first shot and seconds are progressing well now. Israel, well, their on their own planet with regards efficiency. Healthcare England stated that after just one shot, transmission was cut between 35 and 50% while we can all see the effect on daily hospitalisations and deaths - COVID is no longer the biggest killer in England, it's now all the diseases and ailments the population garnered while not attending hospital over the last year because they were either too scared of catching COVID in hospital, or "public spirited" not to put the health care system under added pressure. I have a second shot coming next week also........ May the Force be with Me 😁☺️, picking the date on purpose.

Carbon82 Moderator April 29, 2021 Share April 29, 2021 Come to think of it, should the current Health Minister not take responsibility for the outbreak at TTSH? Please, no more "NO blame culture" nonsense... Situation doesn't look good from what I know, stay tuned for official news later. ↡ Advertisement 8 2 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
