paul hunter is a professor I have seen come up a few times over the covid 19 thing
he has made a good few predictions all pretty accurate in fact he seems to be the person to go to if you're a newspaper editor
the latest is covid 19 will be here for decades it will be something we will live with, apart from the sensationalist headlines that the lovely newspapers print (you have got to remember apart from covid not much is in the news at the moment)
but your average joe reading the papers will see two things one the screaming death headlines from covid and then "covid will be here for decades" at the moment the papers have a focus on "whole families wiped out" interviews with strained NHS workers and alike now both these are worthy stories but the purpose I can see is a lot of 'death sells' papers and indeed it does
but and there is a but I do expect the virus to be here for years and I do believe it's been moving quietly amongst the population for a while before Wuhan when it finally got a foothold but what of the future
I know the whole strategy of the government is based on a vaccine and yes I applaud that but at the end of the day, we are putting our whole future life in the hands of what? a tier system and some crappy masks that may or may not work, I would have thought that by now someone somewhere would have come up with an alternative, I mean look at the technology we have phones that tell you where you're going in relation to work and how long it will get there, plus the biggest system for communication that in my childhood would of be seen as voodoo star wars stuff (aka the internet)
looking at this in 5 years time am I expected to be still doing the same old thing or will someone somewhere get a grip of the situation today we are 5000 from 100k deaths the pot of money the government are throwing at this is not self-replenishing
