Why such has not been adopted or implemented in Sri Lanka\nand other counties?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is very similar to what Professor  Wimalawansa\nrecommended to the SLGo in mid-March 2020 to effectively control COVID?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great example is summarized int the following website by\none of our colleagues, from the U.K., Dr David Grimes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If implemented S\/L would have carried out normal functions\nand economic activities, with no loss of jobs, no excess deaths, disruption of\nthe supply chain, and avoid near bankruptcy.  The country would have\ncontinued all economic and business activities and no need to shut down schools\nand universities.  And would have avoided a single day of (worthless)\ncurfew or even CPVID-related deaths.  That was what he recommended in\nmid-March to SLGo and rejected by authorities in March 2020.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now ten months later, a handful of countries just begun to\nadhere to that; the resulting benefits are astonishing.  An exceptionally\ncost-effective way to prevent the disease, preventing complications, need for\nICUs admission and hospitalizations, and deaths. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, it still chasing the “tiger’s\ntail,” that is impossible to win (control COVID-19) with the current\nblinded approach by the department of health and the COVID task force. \nNeither seems to have valid and achievable objectives, method of achieving the\nsaid target and a vision OR an effective strategy to control\nCOVID-19.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the U.K governmental approach is even worse than\nthe SL approach (see data below); both approaches are ineffective in\ncontrolling OCVID-19.  Relying on COVID-vaccine(s) to control COVID is\nalso unwise and is simply insane.  Moreover, the current approach will not\nenable achieving the intended goal of heard immunity nor prevent the current\ncommunity spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will upload an illustrative video early next week, into my\nUTube channel, summarizing the latest data on highly cost-effective approach in\ncontrolling COID-19.  Like proposed in 2020 mid-March, which was rejected\noutright by “pandits,” with little knowledge or experience in\npreventing and controlling a severe viral epidemic.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
