Who can explain?

"And then have serious international conversations about overpopulation…and what that’s doing to the planet."

This century is going to be the century of elephants in rooms. All those issues that governments have ignored will require some very tough decisions.
Overpopulation.
Ageing population.
Droughts.
Floods.
War.
Famine.
Pestilence.

Should you need a starting point for the above conversation I already have quite a few lists already drawn up containing names of people who could be quite easily done away with without much loss to society ?

No one wants lockdowns, boosters, tests,etc, but it is a price we all must endure.

But is it though?

That was the initial point I was trying to make with this thread. I'm still in Mexico, a country with absolutely no entree requirements. That means you can jump on a plane, unvaccinated, not tested and not quarantined. There is no lockdown! You can go clubbing 7 nights a week and do any other activity you can think of.

Who is enduring a price? People in Thailand? Yes, with all their precautions and tests, quarantine and sandboxes, they still say it is not manageable.

So, unless it is the altitude here in Mexico that affects COVID, I have no explanation.

Obviously, I don't want to Jinx it and I hope life keeps going as it did here for (at least) the last 7 months.

Thailand has the correct policy for 2020.

Mexico has the correct policy for 2022.

What you’re saying isthat it’s LESS important to keep the already vaccinated, vaccinated, than getting everyone else vaccinated. Being vaccinated has a short shelf-life so if you don’t keep boosters up we will have to start all over again

Do we need to go back to naming these variants based on where they are mutating among unvaccinated people?

I'm perfectly happy to call them Xi-1, Xi-2 etc

Count me in for my summer vacation!

Do people in Mexico wear masks?

[arsenal]

Yes. Most of them are bandits.
