This is the one that’s gonna dampen a LOT of spirits. For the previous three waves it was always “get vaccinated and be free”, so people had an ending to look forward to. Now that that’s clearly not the case, it’s hard to see when we can finally see an ending here.
I feel exhausted, tired and depressed. There was a study in the Netherlands where 50% of students suffer from severe anxiety and sometimes depression and even 12% from suicidal thoughts. I reckon the numbers are somewhat comparable in Belgium and it’s even gonna get worse.
I know taking measures is necessary because of the high amount of covid cases, but I just don’t know…
They’re gonna announce tomorrow we’re gonna take restrictions for three weeks “to save Christmas” while we all know it’s gonna get a lot worse before it gets better. I’m just trying to mentally prepare myself to be in lockdown (light) mode until march at the earliest and thinking about that makes me feel empty inside. Just empty.
And in 14 days they will shut down the HoReCa completely, and tbh its for the bether last weekend i had more cancellations then reservations. This weekend will be even wurse, all that with 0 support.
Beetje dubbel allemaal.
Overheid: De maatschappij beloven hun vrijheden “terug te geven” als we 2x een prikje gehad hebben. Met als grote voorwaarde; op z’n minst 70% van de bevolking.(en met een systeem dat equivalent is met een vergiet)
Uiteindelijk ver boven dat cijfer zitten en toch weer vrijheden afnemen(terecht, 26k besmettingen per dag is wtf). Ik denk wel dat er een pak mensen gaan zeggen “Fuck die derde prik”. Want voor velen(niet voor mij) was de enige reden voor een vaccinatie, vrijheid.
Als de enige manier van sensibilisatie “Doen of we pakken uw vrijheden af” is, dan staan ze volgende week met 60.000 in Brussel. En dat is natuurlijk een positief scenario voor bepaalde groepen in de maatschappij of politieke partijen om misbruik en coin van te maken.
Kunnen we aub inzien dat mikken voor immuniteit ook een meerwaarde kan hebben? Of beter, 2 jaar in de Covid pandemie MEER dan AMPER 2000 Bedden hebben voor 11.000.000 mensen? Vaccinaties, Ok, een top manier om een groot deel van de kwetsbare groepen te beschermen. Lang leve science!
Blijf in ieder geval uzelf beschermen.
Ontsmet uw handen,
Probeer toch afstand te bewaren indien nodig
Gebruik uw mondkapje op drukke plaatsen.
En respecteer zeker de quarantaine regels!!! Veel te veel mensen EN bedrijven vegen er hun kloten aan. Te koste van andere.
Sorry just venting.
/Frustrated but realistic.
These politicians are fucking insane.
Have two concerts planned for 10 and 11 december, one of which is in the sportpaleis, standing tickets for the middenplein.
At this point, I want them to cancel. I don’t feel safe attending such an event, but if it doesn’t get cancelled, you lose out on the money you paid for the ticket.
Ah shit we all know where this is going. Marc Noppen (uz brussel) said at the beginning we’re in this for at least 5 years and at this rate it looks like he’s gonna be right.
The question will be how to handle this. First of all, those retards who run our gov should not have said we get our freedom back after double shots and a vax rate of 70? ish percent. All the fucking signs are there that this is going to be a long endemic, fucking act accordingly. They went for quick political gains and lost the bet.
Secondly, all this talk is always the same. Listen to us or we take away X or Y. It’s rarely a talk about how we can get through these long years (5 years remember?) without resorting to watching your walls come closer for years on end. It’s always about repression. Have they not learned that the second you lose public support you can pack your bags and be done with it? Whatever they decide tomorrow will further bring down support.
Third: stop eroding privacy and creating classes, dividing this already fragile cocktail of a country. I utterly hate the fact that antivaxxers are a big chunk of the numbers, that they are hogging IC beds and causing other important operations etc to get postponed. I despise them with every fibre in my body but creating an us vs them story will solve nothing.
I’m not saying I have all the answers but at almost 2 years in it feels we still have no decent long term plan, we keep up the threats and we keep eroding privacy for the sake of “public health”, all while some people make bank or weaponize this for political gains.
There is only one real culprit in this whole story and its politics. They failed to contain this to a manageable level. They failed to plan long term. They failed to reach clusters in our society we all KNEW beforehand would be hard to reach. Most of all, they failed to inspire people to stand together. Utter useless bunch of twats, and people think these shits are capable of organizing “the great reset” or whatever conspiracy? They can’t even fix busses for buso.
How fucking hard is it to just say “Everyone wear a mask everywhere, everyone uses alcogel any time they come into contact with a surface in a public space, everyone stays 1.5m apart at a minimum, horeca closes, anyone not following the rules is fined a percentage of their yearly income.”
You’ll torpedo your political career that way but you’ll save a whole shitload of lives.
Oh… I see the problem
Belachelijk maarja. Discotheek met mondmasker is ook niet alles..
