Covid19/2021-22 OMICRON/ VIRUS "IHU" FRANCE:P13310/NEWEST VIRUS: "NEOCOV" HIGH INFECTION RATE+1 IN 3 DIE !?! P13315

Given that I've recently learned that I'm about 25% Scottish...heh heh.

Here in Wisconsin our 10 day deer hunt started yesterday and runs until the 30th.

The better part of 500,000 hunters filling the cabins, grocery stores, restaurants, bars, etc. in the northern half of the state.

Said event, and its effect on incidence, should be clear between the 10th - 20th of December.

Tough or luck
Geez.
I guess get them all knocked off then list on the first trip.
No thanks

which all travellers must complete before entering Spain, will now include a question about whether they have a negative PCR test performed within 72 hours prior to arrival in the country

Lucky or unlucky.

Lucky to be alive after all that

Good morning.

And short ends of sticks if the poster is more optimistic than the whole JoyJoy group. There is hope. But optimism is not safe during a crisis.

Folks need to apply optimism at home. I am optimistic about my dinner choices this week. They look promising.

The ones that need to hunt to eat..... this is completely understandable.

It’s the “fancy” ones.

Man. I feel awful for everyone in every store, hotel, motel, gas station, restaurant......etc.

I fear it will not be taken seriously, DT. I am actually sad at this point. No one has the political will to say what needs to be done. The politicians are playing to the balcony and so this will continue way longer than need be IMO

I wish you the best as you continue your mental gymnastics. And you should give thanks that you have not been effected yet.

Hahaha. I am sure mrs AV will disapprove.

Bark bark...... are you talking about yourself, again?

Two points..... it unfortunately show just how far from using morals we have gotten.

Second..... ethics.... 25£ that’s it????

Thanks for the epic thread.

Stay safe.

Yeah, 25£ ($33.21 USD) seems kind of light. I am not knowledgeable on the menu prices for that particular trade, but I am a little offended for them.

Which as we learned is WORTHLESS.

hope currynosher and family are okay.

Uh oh, I anticipate some "unintended consequences" if this becomes a trend.

This. Does. Not. End. Well.

Sigh.

I just see more vectors.

Almost 10 months..... but it wasn’t acknowledged in February. And March seems to normal for some.

Hmmm, not great, but maybe it's the price we have to pay to get life back to some kind of normal?

I love you!

This idea sucks for a few reasons.

One.... testing negative means jack shit if you get infected two days later.

Two... this pass is tooooo easy to twist into a social control system.

This is one of my favorite traditions.... but sad this year.....

I'm not a fan of lockdowns, but I think the only way you could have done one successfully is to lock everyone and everything down for a month.

First step is to allow people to obtain essential supplies for the lockdown. Allow them time to receive deliveries of essential and non-essential goods if these are already planned and in progress.

Second, ensure that essential services like police, fire and ambulance and hospitals are available. But make sure that the people in these services are segregated from their families for the period of the lockdown, so they don't spread the virus to others outside of the people they come into contact with as part of their normal job duties.

Do the same with power plant, water treatment, sewage plant workers and public works crews.

The same goes for people working in retirement homes, assisted living and long-term care facilities.

No travel into or out of the country except for dire emergencies, and all travellers must stay in quarantine facilities 14 days before departure and 14 days after their return.

You would need to set up temporary living facilities for everyone who works in essential services during the lockdown. How you would do this is the $64,000 question, as the logistical issues involved would be massive, and how do you feed everyone in these facilities?

The idea of course, is to let the virus burn out on its own for lack of available hosts.

Australia and New Zealand came close to achieving this for a short while. But, as everyone knows, it only takes one person who is infected after the lockdown ends to wipe out the gains made from the lockdown.

At this stage of the game, we'd better hope and pray that the vaccines work, because with no effective vaccine, we'll never be able to return to anything approaching the normalcy that we knew before the pandemic started.

The only hope we have outside of a vaccine is that the virus mutates on its own to a vastly less lethal and dangerous form. So far, we've seen no evidence of that happening, and herd immunity to SARS-CoV-2 is no more possible than achieving herd immunity to the common cold.

If you read the article it mentions getting tested twice per week.

The idea is intended only for temporary purposes while the vaccine is being rolled out.
