Ridgewood NJ, it’s time to let the young, healthy and “anyone who wants to move on” from the pandemic do so, said Dr. Stefanos Kales, a professor at Harvard Medical School.
In a paper posted on LinkedIn last month, Kales said that for the majority of children and adults, “Covid-19 is not a serious threat, only a nuisance that impedes schooling, work and travel.” “Once Omicron peaks, subsequent variants are likely to be even more mild,” he said. “We badly need to allow the general public, particularly the young, to get back to normal life. He said he favors focusing Covid-19 efforts on “the vulnerable” rather than the population as a whole.
People are exhausted with the pandemic after roughly two years, and health advocates warn that pandemic rules cannot last forever. “We cannot remain in a perpetual state of emergency,” said Leana Wen, a public health professor at George Washington University. “People burn out.” Many aspects of life have already returned to something like normal. Bars and restaurants are open and packed across the country, and countless travel restrictions have been lifted.
Yes! Move on with no restrictions or mandates!
Well said! THANK YOU! I agree we are exhausted from the pandemic and cannot continue to live with constant worry. Children especially must return to “normal” regarding school and activities. Interacting with their peers is an essential part of growth. Let us continue to be aware but shift out efforts in moving forward.
Yes it’s time for common sense to prevail. If in the future things change for the worse you can always advise otherwise.get rid of the mandates people hate o be told what to do, then you’ll see more complying on their own…
Stop complying! This ends when you say it ends!
