Hilarious that the “anti-vaxx” narrative is now mainstream and everyone is OK with African Americans questioning vaccines cuz Trump was in charge during its development. Before all the white people doing it were just crazy conspiracy theorists making everyone sick, but now it’s ok as long as it’s blacks criticizing it. Even though they’re probably the largest segment of the population dying from the virus. What a joke!
% of people saying yes to rona vaccine has been going up, not down. That's mainstream common knowledge. Quit reading tyler durden on zerohedge, fam.

Little Adi in Austria wants a 3rd lockdown from December 26th to January 18th, you'll only be able to leave, when you get tested afterwards, if not - you'll be stuck for one more week :baus:

Also basically blaming tourists, but wants to keep open tourism at all costs :baus:
Not a bad plan if they have that many tests, can almost eradicate rona. And reintroduce it with tourism again. Unless tourists have to get tested too.

@Gian scientists have discovered this stronger strain of Covid which seems most prevalent in the south, and will surely shut down London over Christmas, but it is also recorded in 60 different local authorities.

We always knew there would be mutation and continual problems with that, but maybe this is why Europe is suffering so badly at this moment. Americans better hope that shit doesn't make it there.
Yeah, it seems like this mutation causes some concern for the British health authorities. They're actually going to develop a Tier 4 in the South(east) and London during the holiday season. It seems like this might be the reason why the cases have been rising in the South. This new strain can spread more quickly. BoJo claimed it spreads 70% more efficient than the previous versions. I'm actually fearing this strain might be the dominant strain in Europe right now.

Life sucks to be a Londoner right now, @Badass Dybala aren't you from London actually? :D

I actually started to miss those drunk Britbongs over here in Amsterdam.

To make things even more worse: there seems be another new strain discovered in South Africa. The new strain seems to be more dangerous, causing more severe illness in younger patients who do not suffer from other medical conditions.

So the government relented on their 5 day relaxation and decided to just go with Christmas Day. I can see a lot of people not sticking to that. Some people can't see family that day, they have to work. This will go down like a lead balloon.

London numbers seem to be spiralling, so they have had to make a new tier 4 for them, the south east, and all of Wales, meaning that people are told not to commute, and all non-essential shops and businesses must close.

    So the question is will the vaccine be effective against these mutations. If not, world is fucked and this will go on until the virus kills itself.

    After Brexit @JuveJay shouldn't be allowed anymore to spread his mutated Virus in Europe just like that.
    I haven't been to the continent since I went to Rome with my girlfriend in February. She went back to France shortly afterwards, and I didn't get any rona until October, so you can't even blame me. She might have killed a few people off but they are only the French.

    I'll be doing my own personal Brexit for the whole of 2021, I reckon. Don't see the point of travelling for holidays during this.

    I don't know when was the last time any pandemic was politicized like corona.

    So many things are weird yet posts globally are being deleted saying it's partially true even if same words came from Nobel prize winners in the field of medicine.

    As for Sweden and everyone who says their numbers are huge, they have 77k people that died? Didn't they have 15k people die less this year compared to last?

    Also, as for pandemic, was there ever a time when a third wave caused more trouble than the first one? Not allowing autopsy is just stupid, why have only 3 countries do it?

    The fear being spread like this is insane. It made the whole world gray, people are like zombies, scared shitless, despite studies showing that mortality rate (whatever that is since they don't allow autopsy) is 0.05% among young people.

    no, that’s not true. They’ve had more people die this year. Granted, not that many more but still more.

    Most older people (or people with significant health issues) actually develop a pneumonia and need oxygen as they have breathing difficiulties. Even if you're indifferent to mortality, they still need to get oxygen, treatment and will cause hospitals to run out of capacity at some point. Probably no country in the world has the health care capacity to ventilate 1000's of people throughout the year AND perform regular surgeries and treatments (also bare in mind that the average COVID patient will need to be ventilated for several weeks rather than days)

    I don't see how fear is being spread, not when ICU capacity is under pressure in European states and some states in NA.
