First option was not destroying population; rather, it was limiting the number of hosts for the virus. While population destruction is one way to limit hosts, other ways includes lock downs, social distancing, masking, etc. Limiting availability limits hosts.
It's so weird how dates like April 2021 and early 2020 are referred to in historical terms. It reminds me that all of us alive right now have lived through a defining moment of human history.
@@duckymomo7935 not necessarily it's just virus ride the line between alive and dead. My comment was said more as a funny joke poking fun at the fact. Plus I simple said they can be argued to not be alive. Not that everyone knows they are not. Still an area of much debate.
Many scientists think that viruses are not living organisms because they cannot reproduce by themselves, and instead require the cells of another species to reproduce. But I think that they do this simply because they don’t need to evolve that ability, and they should be considered living organisms. Also, those rules were just made in the first place by observing traits that all “living” organisms had in common.
Beware of stowaways or you may have to then explode the moon and move to Mars ... Nature's neat solution is for the host to domesticate Covid or be recycled.
Apparently herd immunity never entered the thought of any of these people. It's either government solve the problem or the virus decides to show mercy to humans of its own according. Humans have immune systems for a reason and only the old and health risky people get killed
It is unbelievable that content with such brilliant animations and commentaries is available for free. I regret watching netflix for so long after I discovered these Videos on TH-cam.
What would happen if the entire world were to truly isolate every year for same two weeks? The end result would be a number of preventable deaths going untreated sure, but all known covid strands and flu strands would seemingly be eliminated no?
I agree with this theory and something I think should be talked about more. It would be a logistical nightmare to take into account how we will feed people when no one is working though.
You would think, but people who are immunocompromised would end up serving as safe havens for illnesses. Once the isolation period ends, the viruses would return from them.
No. The video points out that many viruses, including SARS-COVID have non human hosts which serve as a reservoir. In addition, a strict isolation is quite literally impossible. We need essential services like groceries, medical care, and so forth, so not everyone has the luxury of isolating. And of course, there are many who have and will continue to fight any seeming attacks on their freedom. So no, it wouldn't work.
What this and other outbreaks have shown me is the world is very connected, not everyone is as careful as I would like them to be. The best that I can expect out of such situations is to take precautions for myself. Even now as many people who have stop wearing a mask, I continue to wear one in public indoor places , and I try to avoid crowded spaces.
Yes, and we even have hybrids. Remember you get infected with an evolving population of the virus, where mutations occur each cycle. Their genome is more a psuedogenome of the most common genome infecting you. Some may even rely on infecting the same cell getting a functional copy of a gene from each other. Some viruses don't produce every thing they need to reproduce, requiring a second virus to infect the host cell.
I think it's pretty crazy that, judging from what's happening in China right now, current vaccines are still required to keep COVID at bay. Otherwise the same dance happens, too many people get sick all at the same time, leading to overwhelmed medical systems. Without another, milder mutation, COVID will lead to lower life expectancy.
" current vaccines are still required to keep COVID at bay. " Current vaccines aren't keeping covid at bay anywhere else. US and Europe have been steeped in covid for all of 2022; we just don't test and report as much. But death rates and wasterwater sampling shows the reality.
The problem being our immume system has evolved to deal with a range of infections, many of which help keep it incheck and somewhat suppressed. What does it react to when it's primary targets are gone?
@@agustinfranco0 I think he's talking about allergies. Your immune system is designed to fight off pathogens constantly. If there's a lack of said pathogens, it might malfunction and start attacking body cells.
Atleast that we know of covid 19 is not devestating enough in the average person that humanity wit be likely to feel the need to invest alot of resources into eradication the way we did with small pox and Polio. So it could be erdaicated but it is pretty unlikelly to be that much of a piority.
yeah, just a vaccine a year or so is probably enough until some extremely new technology ( i mean like super sci fi) makes erradicating any virus a trivial thing.
I don't believe the virus mentioned in the video will ever go away. Probably, we're destined to live with it for an eternity. We simply need to adapt to it and learn how to live with it trying to reduce its damage. Is it possible? We'll see. With the development and rapid growth of AI, everything is possible.
_"Zoonotic"_ = learn it..... Moral: like about 75% of viral infectious diseases which afflict man Covid is a zoonotic pathogen. As such it now exists = in other species besides man. So no - Covid is not going anywhere as it now has multiple reservoirs in nature to sustain the virus. Our window for elimination was early on when the first variant appeared. We had no vaccines then however and when they came online = millions refused them - thus allowing the virus to spread and spread mutating as it went until it "jumped" into other species as well. All we can do is to try to limit its' presence much as we do for Influenza etc.. The toothpaste is out of the tube and we cannot put it back in.....
Bacteria as an example replicate via "binary fission". So a bacteria splits itself to create what is a clone. Viruses however are unable to replicate themselves directly. They rather require "hosts" to infect and then use the host to generate copies of themselves - making them "parasitical". So this means that whenever a virus infects a cell in someone to cause that cell to make copies of itself = the genetics of the person plays a role. If the person/cell is somehow "different" compared to others then copies of the virus generated might reflect those differences. It will still be a virus on par to the original - BUT - it may contain some "morphological variance". When enough variance occurs in the outer "shell" of the virus - which is what antibodies are generated to match up to = new strains are formed. Moral of the story: if there is "some" alteration in the internal makeup of the virus then a new "genotype" is formed. Yet because the antibodies only react to the shape of the virus' exterior shell they still work against it. If however enough mutation occurs on that outer shell then antibodies will no longer matchup as they once did. When that happens = a "new strain" is considered to have formed - aka a new "serotype". 🤨
You know firefighters wear nomex clothing to protect themselves. Even then if caught in a conflagration = they can still burn to death. So with enough exposure even vaccinated people + people who take precautions can still acquire the infectious disease in question. Key word: _"exposure."_ Moral of the story: vaccination helps reduce morbidity -------> which reduces local incidence -------> which reduces your chances of being exposed = which determines if you get infected or not. So people who live in areas where you have lots of unvaccinated and hence incidence is high are correspondingly at a greater risk to subsequently become infected at some point compared to ones who live where vaccination rates are high and local incidence is much lower. It may not be rocket science = but it is still science. 🤔

From what I know (may be wrong), if you have two of them, you might end up with something third, and it's one of the reasons why it's super hard to get rid of completely.
@@apara2005 You can still get vaccinated and get a virus. What people don't seem to understand about vaccines is that no vaccine can guarantee that you won't get infected. No vaccine in history has ever been capable of this. What vaccines do is they use a low 'dose' of the actual virus (being overly simplistic here) to train the body to produce antibodies. This is so that IF and when the body gets infected, it can mount a quicker response against the illness, reducing infection time and severity. One can still become infected, but the idea is you fight it off quicker. Of course, the human body is very complicated and like all medical interventions there is NEVER 100% efficacy. Every vaccine that has ever been successful in history at eradicating dangerous illness such as smallpox, for example, was not 100%. It only needed to be successful up to a certain amount in the population to reduce the number of viruses around, so they can no longer spread. The point is if enough of the population of people are vaccinated, then we stand a better chance of eradicating this pandemic or any others to come. If no one vaccinates, then the virus has no reason to ever disappear unless it accidentally mutates itself out of existence, which is a gamble we can't afford to wait for.
It's the same with masks. Mask do not stop you from getting infected, but it puts up a simple barrier that reduces the chances of infection. Every intervention used during this pandemic, be it lock-downs, masks, vaccines, whether we debate them or not had one goal: To reduce the infection, not stop it. Nothing can completely stop infections, but reductions give us a fighting chance.
Covid has become = "endemic". This means it is now constantly out there causing periodic outbreaks in places. As such it is not being tracked as it once was since vaccines are widely available and people can still self-test themselves - you can purchase the kits OTC - making tracking new infections difficult. So based upon what is seen "herd immunity" has made its impact. Case numbers are far less than what they once were because so many vaccinated. If that changes then the government will probably once again reemphasize mitigation measures. For now we simply have "to live with it" much as we do for say Influenza. 🤨
First 2mins and I am confused. In the simulation of the isolated city, are you assuming that once someone gets delta they will not also get alpha for alpha to become extinct? Because that contradicts the first sentence that the population is susceptible to both which means alpha may spread slower than delta but does not become extinct..
No, it took decades of mass vaccination with a long lasting sterilizing vaccine to get rid of smallpox. A steralizing long lasting vaccine for coronaviruses is scientifically impossible. COVID cannot ever go away, either in theory or in practice.
I have had covid for about 5 times and felt nothing.. And never got vaccinated.. Almost all my vaccinated friends are having some issue or the other though.
And my friends/family who have been vaccinated haven't had any issues, but those who've had covid felt terrible effects. Anecdotal evidence of a small population size is unscientific and proves nothing.
Of all people I know, nobody had any issues from the vaccines (aside the mild, short term side effect), I know several people who almost died from Covid (before vaccines). Plenty of countries with high Covid vaccination rates, that we would have seen something substantially wrong by now, there is little to none.
Sorry but not going to happen. The virus is "zoonotic" = meaning it can infect multiple species - and already has. So the best we can do is to continue to vaccinate against it and maintain mitigation measures when local incidence rises much as we do for other "endemic" viral pathogens. As an aside. Almost 75% of viral pathogens which afflict man are of zoonotic origin. We therefore can seek to limit its impact + hope it does not further mutate - but we can not eradicate it entirely as we did with say Smallpox. 🤔
Mask wearing in hospitals, busses planes or any indoor place will go (if it hasn't already) , as will the idea of isolating because you have COVID. All that will, or already has ended. The virus itself will be here for millions of years and may very well outlive humans

Instead, you've taken it very literally, and you've believed that I have trouble making friends, when in reality I have no problem, and I've already made a handful of friends on my first gardening event.
I’ve gotten both COVID types out of 3 time I got COVID. I’m still not sure if my immune system is super good against COVID now, or my immune system just sucks
First is if you are repeatedly catching an infectious disease = clearly you are not taking proper precautions. After all you can not be infected without first = being exposed. With that said. Immunological reaction is complicated and involves lots of variables. Most infections will not yield the fabled "lifetime immunity". In actuality any antibody generation following an infection is typically transitory with how long it lasts depending upon things like the severity of the illness + the "immunogenicity" of the organism + and if it has mutated in the interim. The last part is important. If you are exposed to an "older variant" of a virus which has since mutated to make it sufficiently different that antibodies generated against the earlier version do not match up as well + or it has become far more infectious such that it can generate exponentially more copies of itself inside you = your previous immunity may not hold up. This is why booster shots are required to stimulate even more antibodies in you and why vaccines are sometimes reformulated to try to keep up with any mutative changes in the organisms. So lots of reasons I'm afraid. The best defense is try not to be exposed where possible. 🤔
Also what is the true self life of Covid. Do we need to be concerned that all the pollution of discarded masks . Could be a hiding spot ? Not just more reason on carbon tax .
I love how the second option was simply destroying our entire population and the third was something we should have expected to hear.
First option was not destroying population; rather, it was limiting the number of hosts for the virus. While population destruction is one way to limit hosts, other ways includes lock downs, social distancing, masking, etc. Limiting availability limits hosts.

So the best we can do is to continue to vaccinate against it and maintain mitigation measures when local incidence rises much as we do for other "endemic" viral pathogens. As an aside. Almost 75% of viral pathogens which afflict man are of zoonotic origin. We therefore can seek to limit its impact + hope it does not further mutate - but we can not eradicate it entirely as we did with say Smallpox. 🤔
Testing and quarantine
I prefer the 1st way. A cataclysmic disaster. Yay.
🙄🤣nice
I've frozen some samples and will let them out when people forget
Covid positive for 2 days it sucks
Neat
THE SECOND ONE😭
No
It will never end. Right?
Mask wearing in hospitals, busses planes or any indoor place will go (if it hasn't already) , as will the idea of isolating because you have COVID. All that will, or already has ended. The virus itself will be here for millions of years and may very well outlive humans
4:05 - Why is Nora virus (the blue one) literally me trying to be friends with anyone.
Did you pay attention to where the Nora virus likes to make friends?
I think I see your problem.🤣🤣🤣
@@lordgarion514 I was joking.
@@StellaGoetia666
So was I.....
What part of 🤣🤣🤣 did you fail to grasp?
And I was referring to the fact that Nora likes to make friends up people's asses.
Now, try rereading my original post again.
You should get it now. 🤣
@@lordgarion514 I do get it, and that was very clever of you. You are very good at thinking creatively.
However, just to be clear, I've intended my comment to be filled with replies like "same omg", "me", or "fr", where people are just somewhat sarcastically sharing their own side of things-because that's how the best TH-cam comments carry along. Instead, you've taken it very literally, and you've believed that I have trouble making friends, when in reality I have no problem, and I've already made a handful of friends on my first gardening event.
Seriously TH-cam do something about these bots! There are more bots in this comments section than actual humans!
And kill their "engagement metrics"? Nah..
For real it's an embarrassment
I vote for nuclear fallout, all in?
But we already have thermonuclear devices in abundance? The first option should be easier to pull off
Make more riddles
cool

I’ve gotten both COVID types out of 3 time I got COVID. I’m still not sure if my immune system is super good against COVID now, or my immune system just sucks
First is if you are repeatedly catching an infectious disease = clearly you are not taking proper precautions. After all you can not be infected without first = being exposed. With that said. Immunological reaction is complicated and involves lots of variables. Most infections will not yield the fabled "lifetime immunity". In actuality any antibody generation following an infection is typically transitory with how long it lasts depending upon things like the severity of the illness + the "immunogenicity" of the organism + and if it has mutated in the interim.
The last part is important. If you are exposed to an "older variant" of a virus which has since mutated to make it sufficiently different that antibodies generated against the earlier version do not match up as well + or it has become far more infectious such that it can generate exponentially more copies of itself inside you = your previous immunity may not hold up. This is why booster shots are required to stimulate even more antibodies in you and why vaccines are sometimes reformulated to try to keep up with any mutative changes in the organisms. So lots of reasons I'm afraid. The best defense is try not to be exposed where possible. 🤔
Im watching this while having covid lol (i double vaccinated )
@@malia6460 what
Me too!
I triple vaccinated...
hope the best for you dude!
Me unvaccinated and got 3 times for a day each
🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
🤡🤡🤡
TLDS: we don't know, we will find out
Before I watched the video, I just knew that total destruction of humanity would be mentioned. 🤭
I still haven't gotten covid
The number one way to get rid of “covid.” Is to stop talking about it! You think I’m kidding?
Also what is the true self life of Covid. Do we need to be concerned that all the pollution of discarded masks . Could be a hiding spot ? Not just more reason on carbon tax .
No, we don't.
Covid only lives about 3 days outside a host.
I love❤ 🇮🇳India
Oh this animator is the same one with the chicken history
