COVID-19 Crisis: The Most Mismanaged Health Crisis In The World’s History. Too Late For Lockdowns In Most Countries In Europe And The Americas

COVID-19 Crisis: The current COVID-19 pandemic so far has been just a small speck compared of what is really to come and already sadly we can see the stupidity and incompetency of most governments and health agencies so far in terms of how the crisis has been handled in most European countries and the Americas( North and South America)


 
As of the 16^th of October 2020, officially we have more than 39 million people infected with COVID-19 and more than 1,097,058 COVID-19 deaths. The WHO or World Health Organization says that in reality at least more than 10 per cent of the world is already infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus courtesy of China and the WHO’s incompetency.
 
Now if we were take WHO’s claims that more than 780 million people on this planet is already infected with the virus, any functional epidemiological modeling platform would show the world is already in a state of no return!
 
Millions of asymptomatic people are walking the planet and helping the spread of the disease every second.
 
Some think that being asymptomatic is good. The reality is that its not! For one its already shown that once you contract the virus, though temporarily your immune system can prevent any symptoms from materialization, you will still have to deal with the long term effects of the disease which  are just as deadly ie myocarditis, acute kidney injuries etc. For some it can be seen in a few weeks or months for others longer and even more dangerous as the silent internal destruction could take its toll at any second which we are now seeing even…some of the excess deaths in the US and UK were cases of young people dying from sudden stokes and autopsies revealed the same body conditions as those who died from severe COVID-19!
 
Furthermore the chances of asymptomatic people developing reinfections are even higher without them even knowing that they are undergoing reinfections as they were never even tested in the first place. Contrary to what was told, most reinfections always end up being more severe.
 
The SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies can only provide optimal protection for only about 10 to 16 weeks contrary to certain studies that were backed by big pharma and biotech companies indirectly trying to make new claims that the antibody protection can last for up to 7 months and worst for some to say that there is lasting immunity is simply fake news. (Detecting a SARS-CoV-2 memory or B cell and antibody is one thing but whether it can effectively neutralize the pathogen that has slightly evolved  the second time round is another!)
 
It should be noted that coronavirus had a knack for evolving and mutating fast. Every time the virus enters a human body and then passes to the next person, it has already has extremely minute changes on its genes. Please note that there is a difference between a mutation and a variation and in the case of the SARS-CoV-2, both are taking place at different rates!
 
There is now a growing hypothesis concerning the second time round a person with existing antibodies in their system gets exposed to a slightly different strain of the virus, the effects are going to be far more severe than the first infection. The hypothesis further speculates that the human population is going to go through a few waves of attacks by various emerging st rains of this SARS-CoV-2 the next few years, each time with more severity and mortality rates. To add more concerns, the incidence of co-infections with more than one strain and also more immune-resistant and drug resistant strains emerging will only make things worse and unmanageable.
 
At this point so far it has to be noted that most vaccine and antibodies clinical experiments has always been such that the strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus used in developing these products are again being used when testing the protection or efficacy of these vaccines and therapeutics. (most of the vaccines and antibody therapeutics were based on the initial Wuhan strains). Kindly observe that most of these published reports do not even specify the strains used and tested upon in their published research findings! A very good strategy of manipulating data! It will be better if any clinical trials and research could specify the strains being used and even better if all future vitro, vivo and human clinical trial studies of vaccines, antibodies drugs etc are tested against a panel of 50 or so SARS-CoV-2 strains!
 
The prevailing strains are changing in constant dynamics and the GSAIDs and Nextstrain genomic data online is not the least updated and accurate! Many countries are not doing enough genomic sequencing constantly and helping to identify the various prevailing strains to have a proper and accurate perspective of the spread of the emerging strains.
 
In Europe and the Americas ie both Northern and Southern America, it has come to a point that lockdowns are not going to serve any purpose any more if we truly study the airborne spread of the virus and the number asymptomatic spreaders etc, at the same time the herd immunity hypothesis is also not applicable.
 
People in these countries just have to accept their mistakes and accept the path of gloom and just have to take simply precautions of wearing a mask, social distancing as much as possible and for the vulnerable to be isolated and taken care well.  
 
It best for the governments of these countries to focus on developing their healthcare infrastructures and increase ICU capacities and hospital beds and medical supplies. Focus in these countries should be on drug development, drug repurposing and more therapeutic developments including herbal and supplement based protocols to help as prophylactics and to treat certain symptoms and aspects of the COVID-19 disease and its long term health issues. The high mortality rates will sadly have to be accepted due to the mistakes of the incompetency of their governments and also the attitude of certain groups in their population.
 
For most of the South-East Asian countries, its best that they simply close their borders to all foreigners and even returnees and focus on preventing local transmissions and at the  same time focus on treating the massive asymptomatic cases in their populations who will be going through various long term health complications as a result from COVID-19 and to protcet them against reinfections.
 
Off course, we are just being optimistic, the reality is that the ten digit boxes on the COVID-19 status on our homepage will start filling up fast in the next few months well into 2024 as this global health crisis which is not going anywhere is only going to get worse exponentially in cycles.
