I think we’ll be struck with SARS 3 mixed with some porcine flu, approximately 3 to 8, possibly 7 years, tops. If 3, it will get the lowdown if this plague. Hence, that would be the breaking point.
Also, if China invades, no more quarantine. Population replacement instead.
You missed out “It’ll never end! Never! Ahhhhahahaha!”
It has buggerall to do with vaccinations. The “experts” are finally admitting that herd immunity via vaccination just isn’t going to work (at least, not with these vaccines). I’m not sure what has to happen for them to just leave us alone, but the magical 80% isn’t it.
Singapore still has a lot of restrictions - it’s Singapore, and that’s how they roll - but the TT article does make sense.
I thought they said the epidemic alert won’t return to level 1 until 60% have been vaccinated? That’s not the same as reducing quarantine restrictions, unless you’ve read something different?
Your poll has no option for never. I dont expect this to go away. The virus or the power grabs. Not about a virus or vaccines, i just expect people in power to keep pushing power. 2 steps right one step left and keep going type situation. Avoided saying forward/backward cause everyone seems both simultaneously now haha.
When we see those in power, namely governments, give back freedoms we can have this chat. It wont likely go back to “normal”, for both logical as well as illegitimate reasons i bet.
There is now a “mu” variant from Colombia that is supposedly going to be great at evading the vaccine, just like the “delta” variant was supposed to be but turns out not to be. Oh, and also a new South African substrain called something like C.0.1 which is supposed be super-vaccine-evading but probably will end up just being more “keep terrorizing the population to sell newspapers” crap.
it will have to happen at some point…but here is what I think, politicians are going to exploit the situation and keep as many restrictions as possible to maintain their political status as savior. Political jostling is going to get really heavy in Taiwan, vote for me, “I KEPT YOU SAFE” will be the party lines coming up, and opposition will add fire to the flame if they open up.
long story short:
I think there is a lot of political exploitation opening for these politicians to utilize covid to their benefit even if it means maintaining 14day quarantines for the rest of time.
