Herd immunity

Most people think that herd immunity is a risky strategy for a country to adopt, as the rapid spread of the covid-19 virus can cause serious illness and deaths. 

 There are several epidemiologists who prefer to avoid a lockdown, as it does not solve the problem. It will cause a lot of harm to the economy. When the lockdown is relaxed, as it cannot be continued for too long, the virus will continue to spread as a large proportion of the population has not gained immunity. 

These experts prefer a strategy to isolate and protect the vulnerable population, i.e the elderly and those with pre-existing medical conditions, and allow the general population to gain the immunity. I wish to share the views of these experts and a political leader.

Whatever differences each and everyone has, there is no difference in our target to the virus? It is a moving target.

Ordered flowers for my mum yesterday. When it was delivered, it was much smaller than it was shown in the pics. No wordings of Happy Mothers Day. Just a blank card of the shop. My sister received the flowers and she placed it on a single chair. My mum was a little upset as it was a reminder of LKY's empty seat with a bunch of flowers wrapped up in the paper on the 2015 National Day Parade celebration.
