25 May 2022All the crocodile tears, ok never mind. Big question is:"What did they know that we didn't?"No-one risks throwing away their life for a glass of wine. Conclusion: there was no risk, not to these people. And they knew it.For me, there are two possible explanations, one is political and the other psychological.The, the govt, could not lock down particular sections of the population and let other groups, the majority, carry on with their life, without obviously risking huge civil strife and dislocation .How could they lockdown the elderly,...

STILL WE DONT KNOW WHERE THE VIRUS CAME FROM
There may be a connection between the Wuhan lab and the origin of the virus, but the world doesn't know, not as yet....
One theory is that the virus, which occurs naturally in bats and pangolins, escaped accidentally from the Wuhan research facility because of poor safety protocols.
After all, the Wuhan Institute of Virology studies coronaviruses in bats, that is one of its jobs. And it is right next to where some...

FORWARD TO NEW NORMAL
Seems like we are on the way to understanding and living with this bug. We are more confident now and responsibility can be passed from State to the Individual, at lest for prevention.Much remains to be done: complete the vaccination program, optimise Test and Trace, improve treatments (improve vaccines, hospital procedures, long covid convalescence ...), plan for future 'virus wars'.Attention should go to rolling out the programs to...
