[OFF TOPIC] Coronavirus Pandemic

[Grassmarket 3,412]

Am starting to wonder if I had omicron.  About two weeks ago had a sore throat, sneezing fits & runny nose, which people now say are classic symptoms.  Probably infected dozens, like Typhoid Mary.

How's it going in your countries? Here we went into a sort of mild lockdown a week ago and probably tonight they'll announce a tightening of that, with all non-essential shops and services having to close and all schools as well.

Lower levels of COVID since April 2020, normal life.

That's a positive surprise! Last thing I heard out of Brazil (2-3 months ago or so) was basically that numbers are lower but that's because nobody gets tested anymore (and no tests means 'no cases') and most people never really cared about any rules anyway  

 

This sounds better now.

Only hundred cases per day, no lockdown. Business as usual, all you have to do is wear a mask. Vaccination highly encouraged and is still ongoing.

I received today my third dose of Pfizer. Lets see if Omicron will "touch" me in near or farer future...

New Year lockdowns are strengthening friendship between peoples!  Scots & Welsh escaping stupid lockdown laws are heading en masse to the English Border, Dutch heading for the Belgian border for the same reason!

Which for some reason makes the Belgians angry. Which is kind of odd, since they did exactly the same thing last year and were furious when Dutch complaints were appearing  

 

Not that I'm planning to go into Belgium. The situation is pretty clearly not good enough to go about all the usual things, but of course it's easy to see which kind of people are going into Belgium "because I need to go to a restaurant!" or "because I need those new designer jeans!". Not people who care about anything.

President of the Philippines is threatening to have unvaccinated people arrested (!) following record numbers of newly infected. So much for things being all dandy on the archipelago.
