I find some of the best mainstream articles about covid in business or financial journals. They know what is happening & say it. Bosses just don't listen.

If masks were still a bit more common place businesses worked on proper air ventilation, people were able to work from home when sick business would be doing a lot lot better.

Totally agree, it’s no big deal. I have been using masks and air purifiers for years now. They had the solutions with testing etc to end the pandemic, they just didn’t want to spend.

Unfortunately, in the UK, they would argue that 15 billion is better than “wasting” money on infection control. However, they would dispute the data and pretend that all is well on plague island.

Here in New Zealand a lot of people have been taken by the "It's a Fake virus, Jacinda Ardern was just out to keep us hostage" line even when you see a social media post promoting the flu jab or a childhood vaccine the conspiracy theorist nutters say "You had your chance this is a fake virus"

It’s interesting most of the misinformation being spread on social media comes from the same organisations denying climate change etc. I think it’s all starting to come into focus with the current climate.

Honestly, this is all it takes and people will be amazed that they don't have to accept constant bad health.

Why these big differences between countries?

Ouch!

I've been saying for years now, we won't do anything about this situation until enough people are sick enough for the economy not to function. It's the only thing anyone cares about.
