2021 The greatest crisis since hot air began

 After 18mths of speculation by the media and politicians about the origin and possible impact of Coronaviruses , it seems to me ,now as it did 18 months ago that the  panic is unjustified  and attempts to control it are unreasonable .

The media get in a panic about  many things very often and I as a risk assessor have my hands full trying to keep my balance about the few things i can claim some fully workable knowledge of (eg  Fire flood,landslide and water quality impacts ) .
In a strange paradox, governments have never seemed to the public more important and that certainly appeals to "the leper colony "( I don't agree with that projection but its truly how many Aussies see polys) .  

Ebola  panic got out of hand not that long ago when its etiology was known and its control within reasonable general practice to be expected , What's going on ? Today is 3rd August 2021  Updated in part 16th August .
?   

Some 50 years ago in microbiology we were taught that coronaviruses were notoriously prone to change. By the time you were 60 you were expected to  have antibodies to maybe 6 different variants . Higher comorbidities in 2020's are to be expected because so many more people are immunocompromised?

If what they say about Herd immunity in UK is widely accepted  ( again whose been defining it (HI) over the last 18 months )  , it may mean a big rethink in Australia? 
I am saying-- if  we still don't know the structural changes in both the virus and the antibodies ( I don't know but no one has said we do ) , the whole value of vaccines can be questioned.

This is the same issue the medical profession had with Coronaviruses 50 years ago . Again I am no expert .
