How does the virus die out? Seasonal flu doesn’t die out. Your view that it dies out or “ceases to be a problem” is an assumption based on fresh air. No more credible than your assertion that it would die out in the warmth of summer and we know where that got us. |

The whole point of the lockdowns were reduce the spread of the virus, reducing the impact on the NHS, and giving time for vaccines to be developed, and then the vaccine stops the virus affecting those vaccinated. |
Re: Coronavirus
How about we just trust to the science experts and ignore keyboard warriors who have absolutely no idea what they are re-spouting.
I'm doing as I'm told and staying home and when I get called to be vaccinated I'll be there with my arm bared for the jab. |
Re: Coronavirus
If the continued spread is inevitable, doesn't that imply that those countries and areas not yet badly affected, still will be badly affected in the future?:rolleyes:
The virus needs a host to spread to and be able to reproduce. Even within a host, it has a limited lifespan. That is the reason for self-isolating for a period of time. It people stop spreading around, then it will "die" out. |
Re: Coronavirus
At this point with a vaccine being distributed there's no point changing the lock down strategy.

Re: Coronavirus
Well the problem is we’ve moved away from the real purpose of testing - which is to provide usable data to inform decision making and form the cornerstone of test, trace, isolate.
If we then go ahead and ignore the scientific advice so restrictions don’t match up to the recommended course of action based on the data then yes, mass testing is pointless. |

The last two coronaviruses did, in fact, die out naturally in the UK. However, I agree that we still have some things to find out about this particular virus. Nobody yet knows whether annual or less frequent boosters need to be given to protect the population. ---------- Post added at 16:54 ---------- Previous post was at 16:49 ---------- Quote:
How are you ever going to get people to stop ‘spreading around’ as you put it and what good would it do? We’ve already had a lockdown, and yet the perishing thing has returned already. |

From what I read, plus application of logic, if the current variant (original +2) is dominating, then the older variants should eventually die out. However, this cycle could continue indefinitely until brought under control by a competent vaccine. So, as I see it, fingers need to be crossed that no mutation occurs that defeats the vaccine. OB, what's your take on my assessment? |

In terms of your example, I guess that if later variants of a virus are more deadly and/or more contagious, such variants will take away the hosts on which the original viruses rely. |
