That seems an abundance of caution. The situation in India seems to have gotten out of control very quickly and its now grave... I think it really deserves its own discussion topic.
I might watch it again later, just his interview.
I’m going to theorise here. Apologies in advance to anyone that doesn’t like assumptions.
He didn’t say what vaccine he got but I can assume that it’s a vaccine based on the parent strain that was prevalent in early-mid 2020.
B1617, the Indian double variant is running riot through the country. I assume that this is the one he’s contracted. His vaccine is protecting him: he’s not dying, he’s not seriously ill, hors not even
he’s just asymptomatic. However, he’s Covid positive therefore he’s infectious and he must quarantine.
Like Leo said last night, Covid-19 is likely to be with us forever.
When the entire planet is vaxxed it’ll be benign.
I still expect life to go back to normal by the Autumn. I expect we’ll have many more waves of Covid-19 and a few surges, but no more lockdowns.
People will no longer get seriously ill due to herd immunity via vaccination. Masks will be with us for years to come. Positive cases will be the norm but they’ll just self-isolate.
To put it succinctly, vaccines will stop the pandemic and stop the lockdowns. They won’t stop the Coronavirus.
