The Covid pandemic is not over for anyone until it is over for everyone. (Page 48)

Kojensa: South Africa

The government lifted most lockdown restrictions last December 2021, which brought an end to a night-time curfew for the first time in nearly two years.

Today across the country's main cities and towns, life has returned to normal, however the mandatory mask wearing in all public places - which is followed by most people.

Nightclubs are still closed to the public, but people can now be out until late at bars and taverns without worrying about being arrested for violating curfew.

Kojensa: New Zealand

For almost two years, tough lockdowns and virtual isolation helped the country get a reputation as a Covid success story, now transmission rates have soared, from fewer than 1,000 cases a day to more than 20,000 cases in just a couple of weeks.

Some comfort is that there have been fewer than 120 Covid deaths during the entire pandemic, largely thanks to 95% vaccination rates in the eligible population.

Most restrictions have now been eased, and isolation requirements for Covid patients are being reduced.
But mandates, meaning unvaccinated people in some sectors lost their jobs.

Double-jabbed New Zealanders are now able to come home from overseas without quarantine or isolation requirements - a huge deal given borders were shut for almost two years.

Kojensa: Hong Kong

The city follows mainland China's "Zero Covid' strategy, which involves stringent border control, aggressive contact tracing and strict quarantine rules, and managed to keep the virus at bay for the first two years of the pandemic. By the end of 2021, only about 12,000 cases were recorded.

Today, it has the world's highest death rate, with most of the victims being unvaccinated elderly. More than half a million have caught the virus (Omicron?)

Restaurants cannot offer dine-in service after 18:00, and venues such as gyms and bars have been shut since January 2022.

Local media reported on a possible citywide lockdown accompanied by compulsory testing for 7.4 million residents. Such news has sent people into panic, and shelves have been emptied in supermarkets.

Kojensa: Peru

Peru was one of the quickest - and toughest - places to impose lockdown.

Peru was one of the lowest vaccinated countries, being hit badly and hospitals being overrun. In short, the necessity for people to carry on working in this poor country - added to the fact that the underfunded public health service wasn't prepared enough - meant the death-toll soared.

Now (2022) restrictions are easing and infections are falling. There are of course reminders of the pandemic - masks are still being worn and many places ask for proof of vaccines before people are allowed to enter.

That said, Peruvians are probably more preoccupied with the country's political crisis than health at the moment.

Kojensa: Canada

Covid restrictions across the country are eased. With most of the Covid rules falling under provincial, not federal guidelines, the rollout has been staggered, but it is near universal.

Every province or territory that had a vaccine passport - often required to access indoor services such as restaurants - will drop them by April, with proof of vaccine still required for some professions such as long-term care workers. Mask mandates are also falling by the wayside, including in schools.

Federally, air and rail travel still require masks and proof of vaccination and even people who are fully vaccinated must test upon entering the country, at least for now. However, the government has started to ease up on testing requirements for Canadian citizens.

For most of the pandemic, the country followed strict protocols, with restaurants and gyms shut down in several cities for months on end and, when they did reopen, they issued vaccine passports.

Some in the country wish it had stayed that way. While polls suggest the majority of Canadians want restrictions to end, some individual businesses are choosing to still require proof of vaccines and masks, which means that for some, the pandemic is far from over.

Kojensa: US

Currently, the rules allow people to live their lives almost as before. Of course, the restrictions vary, depending upon where a person lives.

Texas and Florida, two Republican states, have few, if any, mask requirements. Even Democratic-majority states, places that once had strict mask rules, have dropped the requirements. New York and New Jersey have ditched their indoor mask mandates. These policies reflect a greater confidence about the pandemic.

The US leads the world in total Covid deaths per population, nationwide, new cases have dropped to 36,000 a day, down from a staggering 800,000. The number of individuals admitted to hospital is also down by 75%. As a result, the mood is relatively upbeat.

Kojensa: No, not yet. But they will relax some restrictions by April 2022

Sir Loin: That's omicron for you, numbers just explode.

Fractured fairy tale: Its a Virisis What do Expect , I Mean really What gonna echo dear leader are you and kepp going on how your going too keep it out

Kojensa: yeah sadly. We knows Omicron does not make us as sick compared to Delta or Alpha. Then sub variant BA.2 is even more contagious but about the same level as the original Omicron BA.1 in sickness level. The hospitalisation and deaths tolls still increasing because the number of people that are Covid positive keeps on increasing.

Now there is another Omicron sub variant XE, a combination of BA.1 and BA.2. it seem not any different in severity but in spreading or contagiousness it is more so than even BA.2. Hopefully Covid viruses keeps on mutating until it is no more harmful than common cold...hopefully

Kojensa: There is another Omicron sub variant, different from XE. This one is from Shanghai. The subvariant has not been reported in any other parts of China or globally. Seem to be no name or number given yet.

Kojensa: A healthy 2 years old Sydney toddler die from Covid.

In Australia, there are currently no COVID vaccines available for under five-year-olds, with the Pfizer vaccine recommended for 5-to-11-year olds and the Moderna vaccine used from the age of six as an alternative.

Kojensa: China variants and Omicron XE put fresh focus on Covid-19 mutations - 4 Apr 2022
It (XE) estimated to spread 10 per cent more easily than BA.2, which itself was more transmissible than the original Omicron famous for its ease of penetration.

As for the China variant it is still unclear if the infections were one-off events of little significance, or if they may be a sign of problems ahead.

We know that uncontrolled transmission of the virus can lead to more viral evolution and an evolution around vaccines and therapeutics, potentially making them less effective

Kojensa: It is up to each person to weight the risks and benefits of various Covid's vaccines and had stated over and over again, vaccination alone is not enough, must be in combination of Covid's safe practices such as hand washing and mask. There is no 100% safe from Covid only delaying and if and when you get it at least the chances of ending in hospital or ICU can be reduced or avoided

The risks of Myocarditis was also present for small number of people who cought Covid

The risk of Myocarditis from Pfizer is already known. It is about 1 in 10 000

Kojensa: The long term side effects of Covid itself and the long term side effects of Covid vaccines both are about 2 years long therefore we do not really know beyond this.

However there are more data on Covid long term effects than the vaccines so far. Side effects for most vaccines (not sure if it is all vaccines) would usually show up within 6 months.

In most case vaccination is one off or yearly as in the case of flu vaccines. There is no long term accumulation in the body. HOWEVER in Covid vaccines where it maximum protection goes down after 4 months there is needs for a booster.

This every four months or so booster mean there is accumulation and possibility of long term effect or effects which is still unknown.

On page 37 #13
I posted it was advice to put off the booster depending on the person situation.

Shortening the period for a third dose of Covid vaccine will slow the spread of omicron but may leave individuals LESS protected in the long-run, a leading virology researcher has cautioned.
