Commentary: COVID-19 unlikely to become a thing of the past anytime soon

In other words, as soon as these policies are lifted, short of herd immunity, the number of cases and deaths are expected to once again rise.and was the case in China, US, Italy and elsewhere in the initial stages of the outbreak, local healthcare systems were simply overwhelmed trying to treat COVID-19 cases.

First, without a mandate or additional policies that strongly encourage vaccine uptake, it is unlikely that uptake rates will be high enough to reach herd immunity levels anytime soon. For example, it is believed that the new variant that originated in India led to Singapore’s recent surge of community cases.

希望新冠病毒不再變種！大家一定要接種疫苗了，因為只有這樣病毒才不會四處傳播，到了最後就會再進一步變種了！

Then get on with it...stop reversing back into previous phases...allow vaccinated people to be mask free...I don’t mind the safe distancing...even if you want to extend it...cos’ most sinkies doesn’t understand personal space...😷
