FIRST I need a time machine because the misinformation and fear campaign is near impossible to turn around now …
but if could go back I would
1. Build hospitals capacity out immediately instead of throwing 500 billion at people to stay home
2. Advise the public on best practices To avoid illness weight loss , proper diet , vitamin d etc repeat this ad nauseum
3. Not ban and block dissenting opinions on social media
4. Make sure the messaging is consistent and correct, don’t say the vaccine will end this , don’t say all we need is 75 percent vaccinations , then 80 , then 90 . Don’t say don’t wear masks and then yes wear them and then only wear this certain type.,tell people we will not eliminate this virus and they will need to learn to live with it eventually
5. Protect the vulnerable Let everyone else who chooses to live their life live their life.
6. Allow doctors to use therapeutics to treat people , not just send them home and tell them to come back if their symptoms get worse .
7. Stop reporting cases and deaths every day unless you put it in context of how many people die on a daily basis of normal circumstances around the world anyway. Showing the Numbers of Cases and deaths on a doom and gloom loop on TV just scares the crap out of people and doesn’t help anything. It seems people don’t believe that anyone dies anymore and Covid has shocked them that actually yes people do die all the time tragically.
7. Deal with the fallout from lockdowns and restrictions that are way worse than the virus. There should be more of a focus on mental health addiction etc. then there is on pushing vaccines nonstop. Which one has caused more damage, the virus or the fallout ?. We know the fallout has caused more.
At this point 22 months later accept that we need to move forward and allow people to live their lives while understanding that people die all the time and there’s nothing you can do to stop that.
if you’re asking me what I would do if I was put in charge today after all the nonsense the last two years I would say we need to push the therapeutics more than vaccines and we need to as I said above accept that life is hard people die and we need to move forward. Let those who want to get out and live their life do it and let those who want to stay away from people and wait for endless boosters or whatever makes you comfortable do that as well. Now let’s hear your plan.
