  1. Strange comments in this thread, let's take USA and Germany, life expectancy rankings of 40th and 20th in the world respectively (Wikipedia based on WHO). Strangely enough the countries in the top 10 for life expectancy have high to very high vaccination rates for Covid 19. If we specifically then look at the region of WHO those countries are found in we get even more stark data, the wealthy countries in the Western Pacific WHO region are Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. We all over 75% double dosed and being from Australia I can say we haven't even started the 5 to 11 age group. Deaths of all these countries from covid 19 up to now is around 10% of that in Germany on a per capita basis. What did our region do different? Well our scientists and doctors etc. decided that genuine quarantine for travel was a good idea, also our vaccine rollouts were all slow to start and not done in as rushed a manner in most cases which gives higher public confidence. Our life expectancies are all in the top 10 countries except New Zealand in the mid teens. Maybe just maybe listening to scientists and doctors is a good idea. The social scientists won the day in the European WHO region and PAHO Pan-American Health Organization region by elimination of quarantine because it would cause too much damage to society apparently. Could also be argued it was populist politicians who refuse to tell the truth, voluntary shortened quarantine (as in not quarantine) was never going to work.

  2. Hey folks in the comments Australia, New Zealand , Japan and South Korea are all first world, just so you know for future reference. This isn't to take anything away from our lower income neighbours who have done much better than Europe and the Americas.
