The concept of “New Year” as pedestalized is optimistic to boost the mental health of the majority who needs encouragement. Even though it doesn’t mean a new cloud, sun or moon will materialize neither does it guarantee anything fresh asides the calendar design. #TwennyTwennyOne


It also doesn’t remotely suggest that it is something that has never happened before. The Bible clearly states that there is nothing new under the sun. I take it as a question bordering on personal responsibility as corroborated by the doctrine of “New Year Resolution.”


Which you will agree with me is the most abused and disrespected concept in the history of man. Same old patterns are often repeated over & over again. Same old rituals since human beings are creatures of habit. So let us all take this as a question. Will this year truly be New?


Will we allow our brains to be freed from its conditioning, toxic opinions, callous judgements and unjust conclusions and convictions? Can we start anew? This is the actual charge that is suggested when people wish you Happy New Year. They hope to see you do things differently.

Our lives can be shallow, superficial with very little meaning without purpose and education (indoctrination mostly) is also a hinderance. Can we recalculate our coordinates and change our trajectory for good beginning from this day or are we condemned forever to primitivism?
1. This thread has been given a new lease of life today. People keep saying, "We can't do #ZeroCovid, it doesn't fit with our way of life."

Look around.

What way of life?

The one we used to have?

The UK has been under varying degrees of restriction since March 23rd 2020.


2. Nearly a year of having our social and economic freedoms curtailed in one way or another. Nearly a year of muted economic activity. Nearly a year of mass death and disease.

#ZeroCovid doesn't fit with a way of life that doesn't exist anymore.

3. The question isn't whether it fits with our old freewheeling ways, but whether it would lead to better outcomes than the UK's current (poorly defined) strategy? Experiences in New Zealand, Australia, Vietnam, China, Taiwan and elsewhere very much suggest it would.

4. #ZeroCovid isn't about what's possible. It's about what's necessary. Decide what's necessary and figure out a way to make it possible. We can't force travellers to quarantine in hotels for two weeks? Why not? Taiwan does. And if that's what's necessary, why aren't we doing it?

5. I've heard some odd things said about #ZeroCovid

Simple-minded clod Matt Hancock said Zero Covid is impossible because no country has had zero cases.

Zero Covid sets out an ambition. It signals a country treats any infections as serious
