Re: Old Dogs - New Tricks
It's not going to be at 17,500 cases per-day forever, Dodger. You're right, this will probably morph into an endemic and we'll never totally eradicate Covid, but don't fret, you'll be able to relax with other strangers later down the road.
Re: Old Dogs - New Tricks
2000 cases of Bubonic Plague annually.
Over 200'000 cases of Leprosy in 2018.
1800 cases of Rabies in 2017.
They don't affect us and in time neither will Covid.

I suspect Covid will be more like flu. Periodically coming around to infect the population and with death rates comparable with flu, after the population is vaccinated.
The UK may already at that stage, since the death rate amongst the vaccinated in the current wave looks like it might be below that of a bad flu season. We don't have all these lockdowns for flu & there is no reason to keep them in place for Covid.
The death rate amongst anti-vaxxers is somewhat higher, but that's the price for being stupid.

Good luck finding one that's current.
Clinical sudies involving probiotics and covid still underway and/or under peer review ay University of Colorado in the U.S. Conclusive results show Probiotics benefitial, specifically Lactobacillus acidophilus, at boosting immune system and helping to prevent covid. I have a family member who is a respected Nutritionist in the U.S who I rely on for this informaion. Hopefully reports showing these clinical results will be made public soon. I should have made that clear in my post.
If you're interested in boosting you immune system, fish oil with Omega-3 and a good multi-vitamin/mineral supplement are also highy recemmended.

Bubonic plague easily cured with antibiotics
Leprosy stopped in its tracks by several effective drug regimens
Rabies now held off with one shot
Covid capable of mutating among the un- vaccinated anywhere, and becoming more deadly.
However, I love an optimist.

Re: Old Dogs - New Tricks
Not to mention, Covid has 197 million reported cases so far. And that's official reported and tested number, so it's probably just a tad higher.

Those diseases are comparably low in numbers and geographically restricted.
To get something comparable to Covid, you would have to quote Malaria and HIV.
And these can affect everyone among the readership!

You three missed the point entirely and I can't be bothered to explain it.
