To my understanding the vaccines will only protect you from COVID, it's not proven how well they will stop human transmission / spread.

I do not wear now, I did not even wear a mask doing minor surgery or whilst stitching people up back in the day. I have had hundreds of vaccines, I have had tropical viruses, I have been in a coma with an unidentified tropical virus. I survived obviously. Probably caught it in a swamp. Masks DO NOT let me repeat this, DO NOT prevent viral infections. They increase your chance of contracting a virus in long term use and non disposable usage. They can lower your O2 saturation weakening your immune system. They become a vector for bacteria and viruses, unless you change it every time you touch it, remove it, or just where it for a length of time.

COVID is just another virus with a body plan the same as any cold virus. It will never go away the same as the common cold. We will adapt. The common cold was at one time a novel virus and probably was the reason for our near extinction in pre-history. Also it is possible that some people do not get sick now is because immune cells for common cold may recognize SARS-CoV-2.

If you are sick already stay home get rest, lots of fluids, carbs, and a little protein. If you HAVE to go out then you can wear a mask for the short time you have to be out. Example if your fever reaches 101.3 take acetaminophen and/or ibuprofen and don't exceed the adult dosage for either in 24 hours. If your temperature reaches 102 go to the Emergency Room and put on your mask.

yeah the british version of covid is spreading very quickly and is deadlier

I guess the British have already neutralized its effects on the country since there aren't as many new cases as there were in the first and second waves.

I really don't know if we are on the 2nd or 3rd wave already.
Cases isn't ceasing but constantly increasing.
Lockdowns as always...kids cannot roam around the city. malls are just open for some essential needs and food chains are open for take out and delivery only.

Shouldn't the pandemic have eased now with the vaccines? I just don't get it.

Vaccines can create herd of people in the community that have much more protection against the virus, but until now here in our country the vaccines are pretty limited. Mostly the medical frontliners are the first one who should take it and be followed by the senior citizens and peope with co-morbities for the vaccines are just limited until now. Maybe vaccines will bring great help when most of the people have been vaccinated but don't know when it will be done.

True. We really hope the vaccines can be rolled out faster so everybody can be vaccinated.

It is for the those countries who are powerful and have enough money to buy vaccines but for those who doesn't have enough sources it will be wait and see.

[BaldCunt]

Because there is way less restriction than the 1st and 2nd waves.
I hope those vaccines really work.
First time in my life that I have enough time and decent money to go back to my homeland and this fcking virus just squashed my plans.

According to this article, the COVID-19 third wave is worse than the first two. How can that be when we have the vaccines around? We didn't have them in the  first and second waves. Here is the article: https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronaviru...-1.5360167

I don't believe in this news. FK CORONA!

I thought that with the vaccines in place, fewer people will catch COVID, so fewer people will spread it.

You'll still have COVID even with the vaccine but you will just recover sooner as far as I understand it.

Not exactly. There are some cases where it will prevent serious illness only yes.

Yeah I wouldn't quote me 100% it's just what I kind of know. How long until it all goes away do you reckon?

When 75% of a population has immunity(either through vaccines or previously having had the virus) then it should fizzle out to non-existant numbers. So Israel & the UK for example are basically there already. Some places have less than 5% immunity and will have problems for awhile. By July I think it'll be almost over everywhere.
