100 million infections are an astounding prediction
“The 100 million infections slated to come this fall and winter will likely be due to new Omicron subvariants that can escape immunity, officials said. The projection is based on a range of models that assume the Omicron subvariants — not a new or dramatically different coronavirus variant — will continue to drive infections.“
It’s challenging to trust governmental predictions of coronavirus and one must have individual accountability for being proactive about one’s health. That’s the problem, government officials have missed the mark regarding communication about the best ways to handle the transmission of the coronavirus. It is CONGREGATING that’s a major problem. Also, people want to maintain the same behavior and expect different results. More than 1,000,000,000 people will die from this infectious disease. There are domino effects resulting from the deaths that adversely impact families, neighborhoods, communities, etc.
This is not a joke!!!
The people who have recovered from having been infected with this virus have lasting symptoms which is called “long covid.” Get it together people because all of our lives are at stake along with our future.
Based on the article, there are approximately 4 months to prepare and govern ourselves accordingly. Sadly, only time will tell how well we will prepare for what’s next.
In the meantime, pray for all nations, wear a mask, maintain a quarantine, avoid congregated settings, get vaccinated, and get boosted. It is a collective effort for all of our collective health and wellbeing.
