“We are learning about this virus after two years, almost two years, and we know that it is inevitable now that most of us in the province will be exposed at some point, the way that this virus is being transmitted, this strain of the virus is being transmitted in communities across the province. It is over time very likely that all of us will have exposure to it. How it affects us depends on our own actions and what we are doing.”

“This is really about a harm reduction approach. So no matter what the new restrictions will be, there will be some who will not change their behaviour and want to see their family and friends. So wouldn't it be better to test and find COVID before the person enters the gathering or the event? We know that people's mental health has deteriorated and many people are emotionally burned out. So rapid antigen testing can be used to ease people's anxiety about whether they have COVID. It's not going to go away very quickly, this pandemic, so people need to start to feel more confident in going about their daily lives.”

“A government that cannot warn the people when they see a natural disaster escalating or change its schedule to help when people are stranded and transportation is disrupted, do not give confidence that they will be able to help us recover from other crises, including the ongoing pandemic.”

“When I go to the store this afternoon, what helps me is to know how much COVID is in my community. There will not be one state of the pandemic. There will be different states for different people and for different regions. And that's going to be the way it is for the foreseeable future.”

“Anyone who recalls travel pre-9/11 understands that there is no going back to the looser security procedures and everyone has gotten used to greater scrutiny and hassles if they want to travel. I worry that governments are running out of financial ammo and are taking on heavy debt loads and that will imperil recovery, and programs to cushion adjustments. The pandemic has had uneven consequences within nations and between them, exacerbating inequalities that are potentially very disruptive.”

“The pandemic has fuelled a rise in nationalism and protectionism that will make the dismantling of barriers to labour mobility more difficult. Calls for reshoring in the name of increasing resilience of supply chains is the latest version of new protectionism.”

“It looks like the whole world overheated and is no longer able to address the pandemic, which is a serious issue, in a more balanced way. Societies had no choice but to co-exist with the virus. Yet we need to vaccinate, adapt vaccines, as we do for influenza, and carry on. The real preparedness is not to impose lockdowns, masks outdoors, but make sure that the health system can cope with surges in medical demands, regardless of the nature of the disease.”

“As I have pointed out, To understand today's China , one must learn to understand the CPC [Communist Party of China]. The world is experiencing changes unseen in a century which, compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic, have brought the world into a period of fluidity and transformation. It is all the more important for us to exchange views, have more interactions and cooperation, and contribute our wisdom and strengths to a joint response to global challenges at such a juncture.”

“If you're asking me what my personal position is, two or three years ago, I would never have thought to witness what we see right now that we have this horrible pandemic. We have the vaccines, the life-saving vaccines, but they are not being used adequately everywhere. And this costs … This is an enormous health cost coming along. If you look at the numbers, we have now 77% of the adults in the European Union vaccinated or if you take the whole population, it's 66%. And this means one-third of the European population is not vaccinated. These are 150 million people. This is a lot, and not each and every one can be vaccinated - children, for example, or people with special medical conditions - but the vast majority could and therefore, I think it is understandable and appropriate to lead this discussion now. How we can encourage and potentially think about mandatory vaccination within the European Union, this needs discussion. This needs a common approach, but it is a discussion that I think has to be met.”

“It does not seem appropriate to go onto the next step at this point when the country is facing multiple risks: cold winter weather, the increasing threat of the Delta variant and waning vaccine effectiveness among fully vaccinated people. Due to the drastic relaxation of the social distancing rules, everything seems to have almost completely returned to what it was like before the pandemic already. Though the Living with COVID-19 policies aim to focus more on critically ill patients, the authorities should not undermine the importance of curbing new infections.”

“Before [the pandemic], we used to buy one derica [a local measurement named after a brand of tomatoes ] of beans for 300 naira ($0.73). Now we are buying it for 600 ($1.50). The price of two is now the price of one. What you are buying for 500 naira ($1.20) before, tomorrow it will be 550 ($1.34), the day after that it will be 600 naira and so on.”
