If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

How are we ever going to get past this with all these moving parts seemingly in direct conflict with containment/elimination?
Really sucks ass.

Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostAt this point, I hope natural immunity proves more robust than the vaccines, but that doesn't look all that promising either so far.
Also, the general numbers I've seen from studies are that the vaccine knocks the chances of everything (infection, hospitalization, death) down by about 10x, which is huge, but also not the same as zero."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"

The fears this may just end up being endemic seem more and more likely to be realized. I wonder how long the current precautions people take will last. I just don't see most people masking and practicing social distancing forever. We couldn't even get many to do it for awhile. Unless something changes on the medicine side or the natural immunity side, I wonder how long it will take for most folks to just shrug, accept that we now can get colds, flus, and covid, and move on. The fact that covid is about 10x more deadly has kept people from doing that yet, but for how long?

I know I've brought up this fairy tale before, and I know it is impossible, but I just can't help but think how we could completely eliminate COVID and all colds and flus from our species (until the next one jumps species), if we could only plan and execute a complete and total global three week quarantine. Spend the next year planning and preparing for a three week holiday for the planet. Make as many plans as possible to ensure everyone can lock down, make contingency plans for medical emergencies, and just all go full lock down for three weeks, and poof. All gone. But the logistics of it--it is beyond our capabilities as a species at the moment, even though it seems so simple.
