Governor has pretty much made it illegal to restrict or mandate anything regarding Covid. Sadly most folks in the country have quit their jobs and getting anything done is a colossal pain in the *ss. Not to mention this country doesn't make much of anything and relies on China to do it for us. We have dozens of ships back up in all the ports waiting for people to unload them. I find that funny because our military has an entire battalion dedicated to unloading ships. I was a part of it for 4 years. Last I read infection rates are going up in 13 states. Nearly 2 years ago folks were saying this would be over in a few days, wish they were right. Here we have the highest infection rates since the start of the pandemic. About twice as much! Hospitals and IC units are filling up again and restrictions are growing. The vaccine is helping but there are more than enough people that aren't vaccinated to keep the hospitals busy. And off course there is a small group of vaccinated people that still get very ill. The hospitals have made clear that they cannot handle the same numbers as they did 1,5 years ago. The system is even more overloaded right now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the same in France but with a small delay (about a week) compared to Austria, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany... We saw some footage from Rotterdam (I think) in the news about demonstrations that ended badly with the police shooting at some people causing trouble. It is accurate or was it exagerated by the media (or downplayed?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think nationwide in total 3 people were shot and wounded by police because the police were cornered during these demonstrations. People are saying that only part of the group were actually demonstrating against the corona pandemic restrictions and a part of the group used it just to create chaos and fear.

That's what happens during every démonstration in France. A minority always hides amongst the demonstrators to breaks things and fight the police...

Now they have branched off and groups of people are starting to perform large scale smash and grab style robberies in major stores. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/583262-smash-and-grab-robberies-hit-stores-around-the-country-on-black-friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf 947 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 These days it's organized on social media apps to loot, smash & grab or flash mob rob certain businesses. There is going to be an angry stressed out shop owner with a gun one day that's going to translate a bunch to heaven. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lann 10,838 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 -12C here, in favour of virus spreading, but also keeping people away from any type of protests outside. Nothing changed here, except you need to prove you taken your shots if you are to attend a public event with 100+ people. Stay safe! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustHatched 12,103 Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 I now have Covid, as does the wife. Since I will be off work for a couple of weeks I will get some needed maintenance done to the website that I can't get time to do otherwise.

Sinister 2,578 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Everyone will get it at some point. Hell, most everyone has already had it and just didn’t know it. Only those that get tested every single time they have a sniffle will know. We could all hide in caves for years and it would still be waiting for you whenever you come out. Just another in an extremely long list of diseases on the planet that aren’t going anywhere as long as life exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lann 10,838 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Long gone in most peoples mind I am sure. Today it was announced Sweden is Covid free, as in not one single person being treated for it. Three years and five months since our first. 🥂🎉 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinister 2,578 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Haven't heard anything about it in quite some time but still see people in masks. Of course here in the states pres elections are all folks have on their minds so they have new things to argue and hate one another over.
