BIG disasters often change how we see the world.
In 1755, the Lisbon earthquake shook the trust of the people in religion. After the 1918 flu epidemic, there was increasing interest in fresh air, better hygiene and healthy places – ideas that affected architecture and public health policy at that time.
KovidAlthough? As yet, public scrutiny WhatsApp has focused more on messages and political plays than big lessons. but many Independent Readers believe Were Lesson, but we did not necessarily learn from them.
Prior to the epidemic, there were fear that people would not face restrictions – that “practical fatigue” would be kicked and we all would leave. That fear gave rise to delay in lockdown and in the end, thousands of people lost their lives.
But that scene turned out to be wrong. Facing a shared danger, most people worked with care and responsibility. The communities pulled together. Many people went without looking at the loved ones, worked, lost work, all to protect others.
Now, readers feel that the collective effort has disappeared. When we ask for your thoughtsYou told us that people no longer wear masks on public transport, and sick people have returned to offices and schools.
The things we learned – about clean air, proper sick pay, the importance of staying at home when sick is being forgotten, even if the virus has not gone away.
Many of you told us that a return to “normal” is anything but normal. You are disappointed with the lack of public messages, scraping of security and ongoing risks, especially Long covid,
What did you say here:
Kovid is like polio compared to flu
Unfortunately, Kovid is still here, still causing sick health and disability. Nothing is a false economy: in terms of impact, the Kovid is more like polio than the flu – and we do not ignore polio. We do not require extreme measures, but hepa filters will all create and are not difficult and difficult in attached places such as good ventilation, FFP masks (especially in healthcare), classrooms, wards, clinics and offices.
Removing NHS vaccination from most groups, and ensuring access to vaccines and antiviral – ideal in other countries that are doing better – is necessary – necessary.
Many covid infections, even though light, increase the possibility of complications including cardiac, and damage the immune system, making it difficult to shake other infections.
Long Kovid is now the most common disease in American children, and Britain is on the same trajectory for the same reason. In children, covid metabolism can cause dysfunction and lead diabetes. All this is avoidable.

We know what to do – we are just not
We have not learned anything. We need clean air in public places (especially schools and health settings); Proper sick pay; To prevent ridiculous pressure to send infectious children to school; Better public information about the benefits of masks and ventilation; Use of high quality masks where suitable (for definitely for people with symptoms, and regular healthcare settings and for travel); And the vaccines available for whatever one wants. Cheap tests should also be widely available.
We know what to do to reduce the spread of Kovid – we are not just doing any of it.

We didn’t learn anything
No, we did not learn anything from Kovid epidemic. All this was done through terror. It was not right at all, the money was wasted, and greedy firms stopped prices to earn pornographic profits. No medical authority had an unconscious clue as to how to handle it. This should never happen again – separating families, grief and sheer nervousness.
We had an epidemic before and again. The text should be learned from that final disturbance and handled in a completely different way. People will catch it, no matter what they do; It cannot be avoided. Total reconsideration time from these so -called medical experts.

Long Kovid is the main threat
The main danger with Kovid is long covid. Science says that no one is immune to suffer from it, and it is a possibility of a lifelong -old position that can eliminate your ability to work. 3.2 million English people know who they suffer from, and the number increases every year.
Now we now have the only rescue against Covid, as most of the vaccines are stopped, a FFP2/3 is wearing a respiratory system, which is extremely effective in preventing infection. These masks also prevent grass fever and most other infections. Those who have started wearing them have not become ill over the years.

Kovid can be erased – but there is no will
Covid-19 can be erased very easily with ventilation in this country, investing in appropriate Hepa infrastructure in all public buildings, a working vaccination program, and the most important thing is those people who can do masks to wear FFP2 or FFP3 Respirators. Anywhere,
If the government may be troubled to protect our public health, it should close the country properly for a few weeks. With all that, it will disappear. There is no will or inspiration among our leaders to protect against this incredibly disabled disease.

Quickly or later, a vicious tension will emerge
Kovid is to live here. There is increasing consensus, it is probably survived from a laboratory, and it will rapidly pick up the mutant and the elderly – to save governments a little cash, somewhat offset the cost of the covid for a long time.
I mask in shops but rarely see someone else doing so. Quickly or later, a vicious tension will emerge, and we will return to a square.

Learn from countries like Japan
We should take into account the findings of other countries ahead – such as Japan on the spread of viruses – and improve the ventilation of buildings, trains and buses … even doctors’ waiting room in winter!

Kovid is an inconvenient fact
Kovid is an uncomfortable fact that governments and right -wing prefer to suppress the press. Sadly, it is still a lot, and it is still killing old, very young and a compromise immune system. It is also leaving a mark of havoc in the size of long -term loss caused by Covid for a long time.
And all this belongs to people only – there is also an impact on the economy. The drugs that enable immunocomromized to live a normal life (hundreds of thousands are still preserving) have been refused to cut cost by the UK government. Drugs like paxlovid-a lifeline is a life-sax inauspicious for any immunocomomized person who is enough to contract the covid is made close to-access.
Treatment of people immunocomprose by this government and previous people is shameful. And to do all this, there are still lots of clowns, who feel threatened by anyone in any way, who takes wise precautions to wear masks, and feel the need to make fun of or display a lump sum aggression.
