The Coronavirus Is Never Going Away

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I don't think a vaccine causes autism or is part of a micro chip program or any other weird stuff, but I still won't be taking one under any circumstances. There are perhaps hundreds of millions more like me. So what are you going to do?
You then simply won’t be able to board international flights or enter most countries, if the current IATA and WHO discussions are anything to go by.

A Pew Research Center survey in late April and early May found 31 percent of adults who are millennials or younger say they probably or definitely will not get vaccinated.

You gotta shake your head at posters like xandreu who think that the governments throwing money at vaccine marketers is for the public's benefit. They really believe that the government cares about them, Only those ignorant of both history and human nature can believe such things.

Then there is the fact that no virus has ever been developed for any coronavirus. The good part is that true sheeple will line up for their shot or shots and hopefully you will be at the front of the line.
1988 is "just before"?

Surely the handful of billionaires in charge of everything have the best interests of you, me, and little Srey Mao who recycles plastic bottles for a living. Any other idea would be preposterous.

So when this all started the news media and government officials where saying that millions where going to die. That there would be people dropping in the streets and bodys everywhere. World wides theres been about 500 thousand people that have died out of almost 8 billion. I personally dont feel that they can eradicate this virus. Just like the cold or flu virus its with us now. Maybe if the spread was controlled at the very start but it was a loud to go world wide. That being said i will not leave in fear of this virus and i hope no one else does. Im not saying to go out and French kiss someone you know that has it but that its now just part of life.

Whis that said at the start they promised me something like a zombie apocalypse - where is my zombie apocalypse

I do not remember anyone saying that. Apart from Dump, who claimed it would go away in like 5 days, all real scientists said that Corona would overwhelm medical services, and it did in many countries.
