The war against COVID-19 has changed because of the highly contagious delta variant, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) said, proposing a clearer message, mandatory vaccines for health workers and a return to universal masking. https://worldabcnews.com/delta-variant-as-contagious-as-chickenpox-cdc-says/ |

I wonder if we'll view Covid in the future as we view chickenpox now: which is we're keen for our children to get it when they're young and get it over with. |

Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesnβt accord with the facts.

Mumps is similar...... Better get it young ....... Especially for males...... Having said that we vaccinate for measles , because if not you could go blind, deaf, dumb, and /or have all sorts of medical problems for life....... Think where we would be without Dr Salt...... Take care all π·π |

I think eventually one variant will slay the other variants and eventually it will become a relatively harmless cold. But we're not there yet... |

Well you COULD go blind etc, but the vast majority don't. The vast majority are fine. |

Yes, the vast majority are fine. But that's no consolation to the ones who are not, or their parents. There is enough unavoidable suffering in the world, why not prevent the avoidable suffering? Two of my cousins were born with PKU before infants began regularly being tested for it. The oldest was born with mental retardation and his brother was born hearing-impaired. My aunt and uncle had incredible personal and financial hardship because of this, that parents now are spared, because of the testing that we now take for granted, just as an example. PKU is very rare, also. But it causes alot of misery. I looked up that movie, Carbon. The plot is not my style, but what an All-Star cast, eh? |

DZ, I understand what you are saying and what is being said. I know of three families who were impacted by the german measles in the 1960's. One family lost a child, one family's child was born with severe mental retardation issues and one was born with hearing loss. It's a horrible situation to have to deal with, as there are additional expenses to bear. COVID is hell on earth..... |
