The Oldest Man posted:People keep trying to conflate "it's going to become endemic" with "modify your hazard-avoidance strategies right now when it is not anywhere close to being endemic." When COVID is a nasty seasonal virus that you get a booster vaccine for every fall, if it ever actually subsides to that level, then yeah you will need to take some risks. Right now? In the middle of the Delta wave? gently caress that noise. People are looking at a year or two years down the line that the virus is not going to go away and then trying to use that to rationalize taking insane risks in the short term. i'm not convinced we could live with it being endemic either. 7-10% hospitalization rate, 1 in 3 to 1 in 12 rate for long covid complications... this would just keep the healthcare world constantly crippled. the flu is only 1% hospitalization rate for reference

Under 6s could very well not end up with a fully approved vaccine and widespread use (like MMR, Hep A etc.), so they will be offered to number by way of daycare as their parents need to work. Capital will set up cottage long covid therapeutics and treatment centers to print dollar bills for decades to come. Yay we solved social security, oops we have a persistent health crisis - why aren’t these drat millennials and Zoomers staffing my favorite restaurants??? LAZY KIDS

I think they're convinced it will "level out." Like the Ghoul Minister of the Unites Kingdom was saying that they can PRICE IN 50k deaths a year. What they don't get is that is never happening. It's never getting down to just 50k.

Delta-Wye posted:Not a single person advocating for letting the virus run wild as policy is addressing how the gently caress we can sustain this mess for any length of time. It's pretty simple. This becomes the new leaded gasoline plus the new polio in the west; we live diminished, shorter, sicker lives. The average intelligence of the population drops due to covid neurological symptoms, the average per capita productivity tanks due to metabolic symptoms. Healthcare becomes "too expensive" because of covid so medicare must be cut while at the same time social security fixes itself because people simply die younger due to both covid acute symptoms and cumulative damage from a lifetime of exposures to it. Healthcare bifurcates further into a gutted system of public hospitals and hyper advanced private clinics, like India on steroids. The capital class bring a few chosen PMCs along with good health coverage and remote work, everyone else eats poo poo. The end, no moral.

The Oldest Man posted:Like yeah, car crashes exist and yet you still drive a car, right? But do you drive a car into an active pileup? I live near a stretch of I-64 that gets insanely foggy regularly (https://www.blueridgelife.com/2015/11/29/foggy-conditions-cause-numerous-traffic-accidents-on-afton-mountain-along-i-64/) and tons of people still go 80 mph with like a car's length of visibility, so yeah there's a sizeable chunk of the population that absolutely does that.

They think that there's a population of "weak" people who society is better without. Once they die off due to the disease, the disease goes away since it only affects the "weak" and everyone else benefits. The wonders of social darwinism!
