As the global pandemic involving COVID-19 worsens, lockdowns across states and nations have gone into effect while hospitals in hard-hit areas remain in a state of constant crisis.

16.5 million people have been affected with COVID-19, with many dying internationally and there are concerns that vaccines will not be provided to those in remote or very poor areas.

As humans deal with the day-to-day realities of this worldwide disease, many are simply waiting for the pandemic to end, but no-one knows when.

If COVID-19 was permanent though, could you live with it? How would you cope? What about your personal freedoms? Would you overthrow a Government? What would you do to survive?

How will we cope ? We'll soon find out, don't be too impatient !

Vaccines will raise our survival rate from 99.7% to 99.9% and we'll be told by pollies the vaccine has saved us from the 'deadly mutant' killer-virus', so vote for us!
Why when an infant is very occassionally taken it's held up as proof of virulence but you don't hear to many of these shouted from rooftops: http://tinyurl.com/1aunt7xi
What a tragedy since we found the virus is as fatal as a bad 'flu and haven't reacted accordingly but moved from a suppression to an elimination strategy
I wonder how we could do better: http://tinyurl.com/1ai2algl

I'd move to China where it doesn't exist.

We are living with it now. All we can hope for is that politicians one day get the message that lockdowns don't work, but people need to work if the economy and society is to survive. China must be feeling very smug watching what their virus is doing to the West.

And the reign of terror and fear by that evil man in Victoria has to stop, too.
