let's start by shutting down the Gucci movie and deporting Gaga back to the US... or are you not that radical?

Cancel the movie so she can record LG7 in isolation. A true Reverse Folklorean experience. :vegas:

Ok yeah I'm sorry but it's time to close every single borders of every country in the world and to ban travel everywhere, seriously or we'll never end this nightmare. If no one abides by it, put them to jail, let's finisht his once and for all, no trains, no airplanes, no boats coming and going, everyone stay in their country and don't move. Then everyone helps India with hospital, medication etc that's an idealized version of what Id like to happen but technically impossible so yeah we are ****ing ****ed in the ass again & maybe we will all die who knows 

 

That's what I've been telling everyone... I feel like the whole world needs to really quarantine for 3 or 4 weeks... but it's just not possible...

 

This whole thing makes me cry :bradley:

As one of my professors(phd in virology) said this is a virus,transmitted through the air:it won’t go away,it will mutate and we should accept that

India is literally seeing the greatest spike in covid cases every day now. :messga: The last time we had such a spike was in September. :bradley:

Just when things were starting to look good in February. :selena:

It is gaining traction at a rather slow pace but it's increasing I guess. Two vaccines are being given out here - the oxford one and an indigenous one - produced in the country. 

They started with the essential health care workers and then the government officials. This month they started giving it out to people above 60 and people above 45 who are with co-morbidities.  From April anyone above the age of 45 can apply for the vaccine. It is being planned to administer 250 million doses by July.

That’ll be good I guess..1/4 of the population getting the vaccine in such a short time is amazing...Hope this new variant won’t stop the program going full in

Unless you keep borders closed forever, the strategy you outlined above would be pointless. At some point, life must go on. Banning travel in all forms would create a slew of old & new war time problems (joblessness, famine, civil war). Putting billions into harsh lockdown is not our way out of Covid. The minute you re-open, new out-breaks occur. Herd immunity is our only way out of this mess. Thank goodness it’ll be in the form of a vaccine & not more widespread infection.

If the vaccines we currently have don't adequately protect us against these newer variants, vaccine booster shots for the variants will likely be administered when they are developed. When ever that is. :saladga:

I think I’ve already accepted this disease will become endemic. Maybe all we can do is improve our healthcare systems’ capacities, get as many new vaccines for variants rolling every year, and just get on with our lives. I see no way out of this. The virus has already spread too much.
