Boris Johnson has given a road map with dates for England will be out of lockdown. He's saying everything will be back to normal by 21st June. He's actually lost his head.

Dipshit might as well have said COVID-19 will "magically disappear", taking a page from Coup d'Fat's book. (Wait, that mook doesn't have any books... except Mein Kampf.)

From The Washington Post:
500,000 dead, a number almost too large to grasp A little less than a year ago, covid-19 had killed just a handful of people in the United States. Now, the pandemic’s official death toll equals the size of a major city, more than the population of Kansas City and nearly as many as Atlanta or Sacramento. It can be hard to grasp the enormity — half a million people, gone. What if we imagined them traveling as one group? Or killed in action? Or all buried together?

I wonder if years from now, I can look back at this time with a calmer, more distanced and analytical mind. Right now everything's too close.
A constant circle of being disappointed in acquaintances, friends, or simply society as a whole because of misguided, antiscientific beliefs they display or not taking the concept of social distancing all too seriously. I know, it takes a psychological toll on all of us. But there people dying right now. And the personnel of any hospital is dealing with a hellish amount of workload each day. Maybe what I mean to say is: I wonder if one day trust isn't such a rare thing anymore. Right now, it kind of is. |

Tbh, most topics these days fit into both threads perfectly. And yeah, that was probably one of the most baffling things I've heard this week. Idiocy has obtained the golden ticket. The other baffling Covid-related thing, local-edition: There's a group of aggressive covidiots which is currently planning flashmobs consisting of maskless shopping in over 70 Austrian supermarkets this Friday. They were stupid enough to create a virtual flyer for it. I hope the authorities crack down hard on those responsible. Stupid motherfuckers willingly endangering customers and store clerks to boost their moronic agenda. |

"Look, I hope everybody's realized by now these masks make a difference. We are on the cusp of being able to fundamentally change the nature of this disease because of the way in which we're able to get vaccines in people's arms. ... The last thing, the last thing we need is Neanderthal thinking, that, 'In the meantime, everything's fine. Take off your mask. Forget it.' It still matters." —Joe Biden
"Make no mistake. Texas and Mississippi opening back up to 100% will disproportionately impact and kill minorities, who comprise much of the essential work force bearing the brunt of this pandemic. This is criminal, a racist death sentence for so many who could have been spared." —George Takei "Because one catastrophe on your hands this year is just not enough for you?" —Patricia Arquette "Only another white man could figure out a way to become a worse person than Ted Cruz." —Chelsea Handler "The @GOP is a death cult." —Bradley Whitford

My heart goes out to Texans who take this pandemic seriously/suffer from different types of social anxiety/feel overwhelmed by crowds etc.
A lot of people out and about already behave pretty badly (even before the Corona crisis and not exclusive to Texas) and now they're incentivized by the government to do so. Update on the covidiot situation in Austria: Authorities have been made aware of the planned actions by Covid-deniers and local police will monitor the respective supermarkets on Friday. Seeing how they did little to nothing to curtail the massive illegal protests by rightwing groups throughout the last two months, I remain skeptical. But at the very least there has been some reaction to this madness. |

Maybe this will help you put situation into perspective: in Slovakia we have the highest amount of covid-related deaths per inhabitant in the whole world. so I guess you guys have to be doing something right. while our prime minister did a huge press conference behind a cargo plane with Russian Sputnik vaccines that he order despite his agreement with all other government parties. A total ultra-moron.

I hear you. I don't want this to be a contest. A tragedy is a tragedy. And I'm sorry to hear Slovakia is hit that hard. I think it's mostly down to the comprehensive healthcare system and the general wealth of Austria that there aren't more deaths than there are right now. However, according to recent studies, 7% of last year's deaths in Austria were caused by Covid. That's a significant percentage still. The fact that other countries are doing worse is a massive tragedy, really. Yeah, I think that a lot of governments are royally fucking up right now. The reason I concentrate on Austria is because I feel most qualified to talk about it. Also, there have been some major fuckups here. Like a ski-region in the Tyrol being a major motor in the increase of infections all across Europe in the beginning. It's also driving a wedge between relationships. I see a lot of people drifting off towards theories and behavior that I consider to be quite dangerous. At first it seemed merely fringe. But now, if only on a micro-scale, it impacts friends, acquaintances, etc. Pair that with maskless alt-right/borderline Nazi-protests that are downright ignored by the authorities despite being illegal, and we have a situation that is really disheartening right now. Probably no news to anyone, because such things happen on a global scale. Washington D.C. being one of the more extreme examples. I'm simply reporting what it feels like in Austria right now. But yeah, it's a shitshow all around. And I'm aware there are places that are hit much harder. I just hope that there will be some relief in the near future. Hope you and your family are doing okay right now. |
