I got nothing
60 Minutes ran a story yesterday on, "Long Haulers". People that were mostly healthy and young that contracted Covid, that exhibited almost no symptoms early on, but now months later are experiencing very serious health impacts that are for the most part inexplicable and difficult to treat. Although it's not yet online, I found a similarly titled story from the Australian 60 Minutes that would likely report similar findings.
And this is just one of the things the mouth-breathers refuse to acknowledge or are too closed off to learn about. The long-term damages from Covid that go well beyond immediate death. Spending will remain down even in places where there are little to no government restrictions because a lot of people are choosing to stay home voluntarily, and who would want to start a small business during this economic climate? Health care workers are already at the brink of exhaustion and it's going to get worse as idiots insist on getting together with family over the holidays, coupled with poorer weather. Imagine even a healthy person catching Covid and the flu in succession?
For goodness sake Thailand refuses entry to anyone that doesn't agree to quarantine - government sanctioned and monitored in specified hotels - for 14 days. This is a country that lives and dies by tourism yet they are taking such measures to protect as many as possible. Here in the Philippines which also relies quite a bit on tourism the country was virtually shut down starting the middle of March and wasn't lifted I believe until middle of June. Because of that - and because masks are required to enter any business while some others also require shields - the virus has been far more in check. Testing here hasn't been extremely robust, but if someone gets sick here everyone knows about it quickly where I live. We've had 1 employee out where I live and we have roughly 5,000. Quite a few are WAH but again it shows that countries that take this seriously can get it right. And now again the country is nearly 100% open.
