Optimize your Health & Immunity
Covid19 is gradually moving from a Pandemic to Endemic state. Increasingly it is becoming apparent that 'Covid Zero' is no longer an achievable public health target. Accordingly, public health strategy needs move towards optimizing population level health in order to minimize the impact of this virus which it now appears is here to stay.
The adjusted target now would be to prevent healthcare systems getting overwhelmed and allowing the economy to function as normal in the presence of sustained community transmission of SARS-COV2 virus. This can only be achieved when vast majority of infections are asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic not requiring hospital admission.
Introduction of novel early out patient therapies such as Monoclonal Antibodies and Oral Antivirals should further assist in an effort to 'normalize' the effects of this virus. The best defence against Covid19 complications remains Vaccination.
To put it in lay terms, all of us have a date with the virus and we need to ensure that we are well prepared for that eventuality.
