            I keep reading news about Covid-19 reappearing.  Even a celebrity was on a ventillator .
Some say it is just a virus like any other but I think it is not so  More people die of this disease more than a plain flu.Wonder there will be revaccination too 
And then there are variations that could be more dangerous. 
Do you think we should go back to the pandemic protocol?

                    We will start using masks soon in hospitals here.

                            I will have to politely tell  those who visit us that they should come with their masks on.

                            @allknowing  I will not accept anyone with "a cold" at my house.  I caught the covid at my aunt´s house. She did not tell me that she had covid until we were at lunch. Fortunatly I had all my vaccines so it was something tolerable.

                    They’ve never stopped vaccinating here. Some quit getting boosted, but I know a heck of a lot of people who have never stopped getting their boosters. And, as long as Trump is in office, I don’t think the United States will be under a mask mandate. Considering so many masks were found to be useless, that doesn’t surprise me.

                            I have not vaccinated myself and nor do I plan to.  I do not socialise and there are not many visitors either.   But I will wear a mask and expect visitors to do it too.

                            Gettign others to wear the mask is something that has to be dealt with now  I will wear it when I am going out

Right now you can only protect yourself.

                            @allknowing We don't like being sick and, since most people here won't wear masks, we prefer to be safe.

                            @allknowing Correct. It did not prevent getting covid nor did it stop the spread.

                            @allknowing Because the numbers and stats CLEARLY showed none of the protocols worked. There was only so long they could lie to us about it before it was so obvious, they had to tell the truth.

                    I have had four or maybe five shots, I forget. I will wear a mask if I am told to. The Trump regime will not support masks, though.

                            Wearing mask does not come easily.  We have to make an effort specially when there is no compulsion from anywhere.

                    It has been in circulation for some time because rumors of the report were circulating in Los Angeles when I was coming home from my international trip. When I arrived home, I was coughing and had a cold. I assume it was not COVID because I was fortunate enough to recover without experiencing flu-like symptoms. My government hasn't announced that mask use will start up again yet.

                            @allknowing, The alerts appear to be slow, particularly on the media. It appears that our health department has slowed down from its previous frequency of reporting.  We do occasionally hear cases.  However, it is not spreading as quickly as it once was.  Perhaps the vaccine is still effective and can't cause as much damage as it once could.

                            Governments should start announcing  They have not and yet when Ministers had a meeting with the PM they all had to wear a mask

                    It's coming home
COVID is back.
So why are we not getting more on the news about it ?
We will be back in masks - no doubt about it

They won't , not in the UK anyway.
They will minimize the situation. 
Tell everyone to get vaccinated as it needs to be upgraded.
We cannot afford another pandemic.
So we won't have one, even though COVID kills a lot of people again

                            I think you should depend more on the news about the disease than wait for the government to make those announcements

                    What some people were saying is that weather is changing in these months; summer- rainy it is likely to get flu.  We should be careful in this particular seasons

                            Yes.  Flur is often seen in this season but Covid cannot be ruled out

                    I think pandemic protocols are too stringent . The tests that people are compelled to do are also expensive. But people can wear masks that is fine

                    Sure, lets' go back to the masks and staying two meters away from others.  It will lessen the chance of pickpockets on the bus.  People will be more polite and not go to work sick to infect others with their coughs.  I didn't mind to stay home and teach more online.  Not so much transportation costs.

                            There is no alert from governments the kind that existed in the good old days

                            @allknowing Everyone can decide for themselves whether to wear one or not. Don't depend on the government to tell people how to stay healthy. . . .

                            @lifecoachjerusalem It is only when there is pressure that people decide.
