Covid-19--What lies ahead? Prediction Exercise!

Thanks for this challenge. I too have been wondering where we are going with Covid. 

As for the FDA, I hear the word "dither". It implies a milktoast approach for now which makes sense because the FDA is big bureaucracy that gathers tons of information and is slow to decide and slow to act.  As for the 1/26/23 meeting, I feel they will present a package approach while they are gathering more information but at the moment I am not seeing a new vaccine.  They will talk about current post infection treatments and how to be sure to get them quickly to the right populations.  They will use the media to send out more warnings about the new variant that is spreading quickly in the U.S.

Kraken - will it live up to its name?  The Kraken was a mythological octopus sea monster that would pull down ships.  It is 1.4 times more transmissible than it's predecessor. Like previous Covid variants, it will affect people differently depending on their age, immune systems, viral load they received, and other unknown factors.

I don't think there will be the wave of deaths that we had before because we have better post infection treatments now.  I pray I am right about that.

As I write this, I am knocking on wood because (1) Kraken is spreading rapidly in the Northeast right now where I live, and (b) I may have been exposed to it last week when a neighbor came over and we spoke unmasked inside my house for a half an hour, after which I found out his wife has a "bad cold" which they are not revealing whether it is Covid.  I will be glad when the Covid incubation is over because I am otherwise usually very careful. 

Covid over time: more variants and more waves of infection.  New vaccines coming, including oral vaccines.  Improved treatments too.  

What I’m picking up about the new Covid variant is that it will spread across the U.S. rather quickly.  Because our media is fueled by clicks and fear, there will be lots of drama in the news, but I don’t feel terribly worried.  That makes me think there won’t be catastrophic loss of life.  This variant may be highly contagious, but not unusually deadly.  When I meditated about this, I heard the quote from Shakespeare: “sound and fury, signifying nothing.”  I think that refers to the news media hyping the latest new fear.  People who recognize how contagious this variant is will take precautions.  We have three years experience with how to take precautions, but sometimes even the most careful of people get Covid.   People who don’t believe in science will not pay attention to the obvious and thus, more of that population will get sick.  

This is what I received when I meditated on Covid for 2023. Thank you @lovendures for starting this topic. 
China and covid:

At the start of my meditation, I saw a massive crowd of people walking in a very tight group. Once inside this crowd, there was no way out of it. People were stuck and squeezed by its’ sheer massive weight. This felt like China. January unto late spring brought on a dark cloud over the people in this crowd. I took this to mean the virus will run rampant and at great cost for many months in that country. This will make many very angry and result in a generation of young people who will, during their lifetime, change the country significantly for the better. Politicians and local officials will be walking on thin ice and some will be removed surprisingly quicker than anticipated. I saw heads rolling on the ground and heard people cheering.

Covid in our parts of the world for 2023:

I then saw an explosion of the virus particles spreading in the air and heard « nowhere to go ». Some of these particles hit their targets but many did not. I felt this was more in the west like North America and Europe as well as well as in countries with high antibodies from vaccines and previous infections. I then saw a graph with a steep peak but coming down fairly quickly, with another smaller bump and finishing with a flat line. The timeline of this graph felt like January and February for the highest peak then coming down in March with a smaller hiccup in April. After April, the line disparates and despite some wiggling, doesn’t peak again for the rest of the year.

By summer to the end of the year, the air felt lighter as if the worst of the pandemic is past. I felt that by mid year or early fall, the pandemic will become truly endemic. I also felt vaccines will continue to be upgraded like the yearly flu vaccines and I saw several locations around the world working on nasal vaccines. They will significantly improve our dealing with covid and other airborne viruses in the long term. This new science will be a game changer and received with enthusiasm.

 Long covid:

I felt a key a key component of the virus is being presently missed. As of now, it seems like it is yet to be discovered or is such an insignificant detail that no one is paying attention to it. Once it comes into view, it will significantly change how we deal with long covid. The timeline felt like 2025-2027 for this discovery.

 The WHO, FDA and other authorities:

I felt a resistance by top medical authorities to acknowledge publicly what they know to be true concerning how to deal with covid. These senior authorities in charge felt very heavy, almost like a dead weight. I saw and heard furious discussions behind closed door. I felt anxiety, frustration and anxiety from many in the health community as to their powerlessness over those making important decisions.

I also felt great political resistance in some places to implement cleaner air mechanisms in public buildings but very determined groups will put pressure on authorities to implement building codes promoting cleaner air space. These determined people will not give up and will eventually succeed but it will take time to elect or put enlightened decision makers in positions of authority. Once in place, it will become like a domino effect, and the change will be exponential.

In my quiet time this morning I got these cards: Devil, Knight Cups, Princess Wands, Prince Cups, 5 Wands.

Covid is to take us down to bare bones basic. We are all the same and equally vulnerable. It’s in our DNA. But by emerging from the shell of our existence, we carry light with an emotional message that we cannot go on like this. There is a better way. This new way is still an embryo we are currently gestating yet it is magically good and clever. People must actively take the reigns and drive this new solution of cooperation by standing up for the right way.

I believe it ties in with our recent discussions of odd dreams. I have had dreams of grabbing a backpack as fires erupted, of replacing boards on a boardwalk, going through gates. I believe it all means that a large change in the gestalt is quickly coming, and covid is another part of that ALL we constantly deal with. I believe that an important option is opening up for society and that we should get on board with it. 

Prince Cups, Queen Wands, 2 Wands, Universe. Coming now is a powerful phoenix of people rising from the ashes. It is blue and gold in color with mighty eagle wings to carry mankind. To get on board, individuals must exert their personal power in all aspects of life, and work with others of like mind to insist on this new way. This New Way takes courage to act upon, like acting for the whole world to see. It is active, involving, and takes our entire effort to evince and exhibit. 

@seaholly and @bluebelle your powerful meditations on the topic ring true to me.  Seaholly, your reading of the FDA leadership’s heaviness feels spot on, as does  your insight that there is a simple factor that triggers and explains long Covid.

 I know someone well who has long Covid and I’d say from his case that the virus strained and thus weakened a part of his physiology that has been always been vulnerable, even since childhood—his sinuses. Three months after initially getting Covid, he tests negative but can’t shake the sinus infection. 

So based on a sample size of one, I wonder if  long Covid occurs when the infection damages the immune system just enough to prevent the healing of an already vulnerable part of a person’s physiology. Long Covid may depend as well on whether their particular case involved an attack upon that vulnerable part of their system. 

Bluebelle, the fast spread through the US also feels right. It’s already moved quickly through the northeast. And the news media hype is so typical yet at the same time, that scare may save lives in places where people listen to the honest media.  

@Maggieci- wow.  And YES.  Your dreams and interpretations bring meaning to me about the vision graph I received in meditation years back and have posted on this site that there would be a crash of the collective consciousness beginning in late 2019 and fully in 2020 that would serve as a reset in our consciousness. Our hyperactive anxiety-driven race for material growth would come to a sudden halt, and we would hit a bottom.  From there we would rise in fits and starts with a new empathic caring consciousness that recognizes the interconnectivy of all beings including all of nature.  

We still have much inner growing to do and will hit new speed bumps, more like walls than bumps, that we must climb in order prevail.  And prevail we will. The gates you see in your dreams tell me we will find the way and get there.  Role models will show us those gates.  The courage of the Ukrainian people are just such role models.   

@lovendures I went with your suggestion of an intention of a message about Covid generally. Here is what came. I did two things, writing down while “listening” and then cards. Lightly edited for less repetition. I hope it makes sense/is helpful.

Listening:

Covid came on a trajectory of science and technology set in motion a century or two ago as an ill-advised offshoot that emerged from investigating and learning about the origin and cause of infectious disease. (I saw this trajectory as a long, thin, round, grass-green snake-like form extending horizontally.) This offshoot of scientific investigation ends (will end) in a twinkling fizzle. (I saw this like a “sparkler” type firework going out, done, extinguished.) Better methods of learning are coming and indeed are even now taking form and growing. New ways to understand disease, causation, and care that are more – elegant – and safer than cultivating disease to understand how it works. Much more finely tuned methods. Something about slicing tiny particles to get at the origin point. Using light and lasers in large high security spaces, involving multi-national cooperation and regulation. No more secrets.

Covid continues, branching and weakening into smaller and much finer branchlets (appeared as a multibranched network of very fine/thin plant rootlets that fan out horizontally just below the surface). Taking not months but a few years to settle back. In the meantime continue best practice as you discern it for yourself. There will be a few more jolts, spikes, new variants. Vigilance for the time being.

This pandemic is something that has been disruptive yet transformative. Things are happening faster; people are seeing what is important and what is not. This era will be looked back upon as a transformative time. There is no “going back to normal” for normal does not exist. That template is gone. Science will progress by leaps and bounds. Some institutions will crumble under their own weight, their foundations hollowed out, bringing  in new systems of education, transportation, the construction industry and the way housing is built and made available for all, farming and agriculture (which brings to my mind the work of Vandana Shiva regarding food sovereignty).

Then I drew three cards from a spread of a 5 x 5 grid of the 25 Celtic Tree Oracle cards (Liz and Colin Murray) for past, present and future of Covid:

Past, represented by Oak. An organism coming through a door that was opened long ago; through the door with the organism also came strength and the ability to overcome and survive. (my interpretation).

Present, from Ivy quoted from Murray Tree Oracle book here:  The spirit turns inward, rather as Theseus, following his thread into the labyrinth. Theseus’ act may have symbolized his exploration for the secret centre of his own being, which may appear monstrous, lying hidden as it does most of the time. Thus exploring, or soul searching, is necessary revealing  untapped or unknown spiritual strength and depth. Your spiraling dance through life also turns outward, linking you with others through the group soul or collective that pervades and encompasses all life. You have a part to play – to assist in the spiritual journey of others as they also do in yours.  

Future: with Silver Fir which brings strength and healing learned from the past.

Through my communications with my guides, I got the following:

The upcoming variant XBB will spark an upheaval in China, causing the country to abandon Communism. The deaths will eventually eclipse the number in the US. As we have seen from the history of ancient China, long united must divide while long divided must unite, where China will split into distant regions.

The uptick with XBB will be noticeable, but deaths will still be low and eventually reach zero. By the middle of this year, COVID will start to become endemic and will be fully endemic by the end of this year.

A pattern in my dreams lately: bridges. Lots of bridges. Going over bridges, seeing bridges in the distance. Broken bridges. Dead end bridges. This is a time of transition. Covid is no different. It’s a new age of illness. Deal with it or fall into the gulch.

Am posting here older predictions we made for 2023 regarding Covid that were compiled by @lenora. Don't read yet, if you are taking the Covid Prediction Challenge.  It agrees with some of the predictions people have posted above. Some of you might not remember what you previously saw in meditation, so I am tagging everyone who made predictions:
