So let's look back to when Covid19 emerged. If I was right, and this was NOT a dangerous killer virus but a new virus like flu which, with the right treatment and vaccines, could rapidly only affect the vulnerable few - the old, the near death, the over weight, the respiratory patients.
Then the thing NOT to do was to panic, to over react.
But because media likes to inflate stories, we did (most of us) panic.
And, under that, such remedies as stopping or slowing the spread made sense. If this was a killer like Ebola.
But if I am right testing was NOT needed. It would only spread panic.
What was needed, as I said in early 2020, was protecting and treating the vulnerable. Particularly the elderly.
Now we get Omicron. An even more trivial virus where testing finds 90,000 cases in a day. But this testing is absurd.
People with no symptoms or slight sniffles test positive and then the stupid "stay at home" restrictions cause incredible dangers. Deaths in under manned NHS and other obvious reasons. We should NOT be stifling life. We should, again, be protecting and treating the vulnerable.
This, surely, is common sense.
Omicron sounds like a much milder form of the Common Cold.
