Just wondered how things are going around the world. We here in the UK have our 'freedom day' tomorrow, all restrictions lifted and basically letting the Covid rip before Winter arrives. Now I know and understand things cant continue with full 'lockdowns' but removing all legal restrictions seems a bit risky. Particulalry given that there are still 20m unvaccinated out and about in the UK so a nice big virus pool to prolong things.
The irony of our 'Governments decision' to stop following the science (as has been thier mantra since Covid arrived) is that the 3 most important Government ministers, the Priminister, Chancellor and Health Secratary are now having to isolate as the Health Sec has caught Covid. Bit of a shit storm here today as the PM said he didnt need to isolate as he is in a 'special programme' which allows for critical people not to isolate. One rule for them one rule for everyone else. You can imagine the backlash that brought and 3hrs later he backed down and said he only 'considered' not isolating but now will. Some fucking leader eh nice example to set!. To really top it off his spokesperson said that Transport for London were also involved in this 'special programme' but Transport for London released a statements saying 'nope we arent'. Meanwhile my son in law who is a paramedic was sent home from work and told to isolate along with my daughter and their kids, trip to the seaside cancelled now as they are isolating. Zero faith and Zero trust in our lot here.

Zero faith and Zero trust in our lot here. Here in the US from what I’ve read more than 90% of the positive cases are unvaccinated people, and more than 99% of the deaths are unvaccinated people. So basically the vaccine works and is safe, and covid is still deadly. At this point (and every other point) I say fuck the anti-vaxxers. The masks are no longer mandated in my state, and CDC recommends you don’t need it if you’re vaccinated. Use of mask varies by region, even if you go 10 miles East from where I live, or a different city people handle things differently. Like, even in my slightly less Trumpy city I went to a comedy show which was at full capacity with no masks on anyone, and this was a couple months ago. Still made me uncomfortable since the mandate had just been lifted and I’m not used to that type of stuff. Probably more than half the people in most stores I see are still wearing mask, when it used to be near 100%. I think my county is close to the 50% mark on fully vaccinated.
