15 deaths, and i'm sure not all from Corona.
The economy must be the priority in Cyprus, we're not the US, UK, Spain, Turkey or Brazil. More people die every week in crashes.

Does that mean then that there won’t an attempt to develop a vaccine for Covid-19 as old age is not a one time event, therefore, killing the old and the unhealthy must continue in perpetuity, no? :shock:


We have to be prepared for the possibility now that a vaccine may never be found. If that is the case, we have to return to normality. Businesses to reopen and people to return to work and travel to recommence.

Lock downs can not remain in perpetuity.

Howver, if people want to remain isolated, then let them.


There cannot be any return to normality as long as most countries agree on 2 meters Social Distancing, even if there is complete lifting of lockdowns.

...fear, the fear will remain, indeed.

One hopes, learning from it that, clean water and air become more important to us, how the stress on this planet is a result of the stress we put on ourselves, how our own good health is a result of the planet's good health accordingly; to fundamentally recognise that the enemy is not each other, that bigger threats loom.

...(one could say, that the enemy is ''us'', that is to say the ignorance within us, to be willfully Ignorant, which we ignore.)

Traffic deaths attributed to Corona explains this very well. :wink:

There will be when they open pubs, sporting events, restaurants and cafes after Stage 3 in mid June. :wink:

First thing I'm doing is going to the Footy and then eat at my favorite restaurant.

You know Kikapu, most people are not actually following the 2m rule anymore. I know I don't and all the people I see each day don't either.

It's become a huge joke.

2m Social Distancing is not a law on individuals but a condition on establishments to operate. Same with wearing a mask. Most people at the moment self regulate to maintain the 2m social distancing because they do not want to risk the chance of getting the coronavirus. If the 2m rule is completely ignored, then we will have the second wave, which perhaps what people need to get the message that the risks are there to catch the virus. Unchecked, the pandemic can get much worse than what we have now. There are still unknowns about the Covid-19.
