    ⁣තාවකාලිකව කල් දමාගැනිමක් පමණයි. ඕකත් එනවා ටික දවසකින්. හැමදාම කියනවා වගේ මේ ⁣පැන්ඩමික් එකෙන් අපිට විතරක් බේරෙන්න බැ. ඩෙල්ටා එකට පෝක් සමුද්‍ර සන්ධිය පනින්න ගත්ත කාලෙට වඩා අඩු කාලක් තමා මේකට යන්නේ.

    කියපු දෙයක් වැරදුනේ නැ.

    This pandemic will never be over.
    This is how the generation is decided to control the billions of population.
    Even though many are not aware there is a world level mechanism is available to control the world population/economies/ politics etc.
    We will discuss this in a new thread.

    “There is a possibility that we are seeing a more infectious and less virulent version of the virus, which would be one of those steps along a happier route to living with the virus”

    @imhotep any comments?
    This is what I wrote on last Wednesday....Copied below - in case you missed it.

    As I noted on another thread we really don't know much about the Omicron variant other than it could be more transmissible. I can post all the mutations in the variant but that doesn't tell you the whole story unless more details about the behaviour comes out after real life studies. This will take a few weeks.

    Let's take the scenario of the virus being mutated into a variant which is highly transmissible but benign. This will make everyone sick (including the anti-vaxxers ;) ) but not seriously ill. The virus is still a problem at large, but there's some hope. The mild infection will probably result in an immune response far better than the current vaccines can offer.

    Not every mutation is bad. Sometimes a bad mutation can cause the solution to the pandemic.. Viruses mutate all the time. It's just pot luck whether a mutation will be beneficial to us. But it has happened before - This is exactly what happened with SARS. That's why SARS dropped out.

    One mutation with a 29 nucleotide deletion in the ORF8 region (Open reading Frame 8 containing about 121 amino acids) caused the virus to be much more potent, but at the same time it lost the ability to infect humans like before. That was the downfall of the SARS virus.
