    * 98% of the country have antibodies, either through prior infection or vaccination.

  2. We have been on this many times already.

    We lose our guard when cases are down thinking that pandemic is over.

    Always wear your mask in public indoor spaces !

  3. And people call me a clown for still wearing a mask. I have seen enough men not wash there hands in the toilets at work to know not trust my safety onto someone else

  4. The link between cases and deaths has seemingly been broken with the vaccines, which is a great thing.

    Hospitals are, however, still struggling like crazy. Friends that work at my local hospital are being run ragged.

  5. Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of the Government trying to pretend we were done with the virus.

  6. I see the media are back at the whole fear game again then, Ukraine war been going on awhile with little changing so back to covid again for a bit after no mentions of it for weeks.

  7. Wow who would have thought that removing masks in a pandemic would make the infection rate go up.

    Boggles the mind.

  8. the one thing that ill never understand about those who say we must put the economy first, every single older person i know is limiting their activity to some degree when the cases rise like this.

    the entire point about the economy isn’t to have things fully open, its to have people out actually spending their money. and considering the one bloc with all the money is the most at risk group, the retired, making them less likely to spend seems counter productive.

  9. btw ive got it and ive been smacked into a ditch. breathing took a dive after day two so called drs, they wanted me to go in for a checkup but my mum had already given me an oxygen monitor so I could say my oxygen was still good and then let me monitor myself from home.

    but day ten and i finally can sleep, this was not the cold i was promised and im not old or at any risk, triple vaxxed.
