Logic says yes but I am sure the people will get a bit restless and stop all this. I don't know how but there are groups out there protesting all the time.

Eventually we will get to the stage of herd immunity but we might need a vaccine to help out or this will continue for years as it is.


..... and Sunderland, the underdogs, are in the lead!

What vaccine :lol:

The virus must have mutated a few times by now so it's going to be a game of catch up which will not happen as in the case of it's sisters, the common cold and the mighty flu.

There's vaccines for the flu, even though it mutates.

It's about as useless as they come, just ask anyone who takes it and how they feel afterwards.
Not only that but they have to guess which strain from the southern hemisphere will make it here and they do that months in advance in time for winter.
I think they use 3 strains and more often that not it's wrong.
Taking another vaccine for COVID-19 every year doesn't make sense.
We should just stop interfering with nature.
