Unfortunately I'm with you here. We should at least try. In the Western world we could make most of it happen. For those worldwide who can’t, we’ll say: “stay away”. let's say your scenario happens, what about people from the western world that will travel to the countries that aren't enforcing all of that? Travelling is banned forever?

Travelling is banned forever? Not all traveling. But yes, ban traveling from/to dangerous countries. We need to be more sensible about travel and migration anyway. It’s gotten out of hand. It’s part of the reason why we’re in this mess in the first place.

It's crazy that countries were not proactive enough to shut down borders before it got out of hand. If it were up to me every world leader would be charged with crimes against humanity for letting this impact the whole world.

It's crazy that countries were not proactive enough to shut down borders before it got out of hand. If it were up to me every world leader would be charged with crimes against humanity for letting this impact the whole world. I recently read a report about our main airport. During heavy lockdown last year, the airport was shut down. I expected the people traveling to be really low. I mean: how many emergencies can there be to fly in and out of the country? But during the lowest time there were still hundreds of thousands of people flying each month… It’s not only Covid related btw. I can’t wrap my head around the mass tourism going into jungles or other abandoned places we shouldn’t go. A colleague of mine went on a trip to Asia, Thailand and stuff. There were lines of tourists in flip flops in the middle of nowhere. Several got diarrhea and otherwise ill. An uncle of my mom traveled to Malaysia a lot for work. He contracted a virus in his liver and died.

Apparently we’re going in lockdown again, effective tomorrow morning 5 am. All non-essential locations will be closed again. Eventhough the daily cases started to go down, they’re afraid we will get a massive spike because of the Omikron variant being so infectious. I’m glad I don’t have to go to work anymore this year and I did most Christmas shopping. I only have to go for groceries next week. It’s scary how close Covid is getting. A friend of mine and his entire family got Covid. Luckily they recovered well.

I think we should be headed for a lockdown but I think the government is too scared of the anti maskers/vaxxers. All I know is if we go into lockdown again it’s gonna be ugly.

Yeah, I was surprised things went over well. I haven’t read anything about demonstrations or riots. Although I think the group of stupid people still being against masks and vaccines has become even smaller and quieter.

I think the boarders should remain closed! I also think everyone should have to be vaccinated and wear masks. Some states ignored the mask rule and their cases spiked. Talk about stupidity.

I hope this pandemic ends soon! I'm thinking it'll finally be over with by the end of spring since Omicron is even milder than past strains

I'm thinking it'll finally be over with by the end of spring since Omicron is even milder than past strains That would be nice but it seems like new strains keep popping up. I heard Omicron was milder than Delta. I am traveling in May 2022 and sure hope I don't have to wear a mask for 5 hours straight on the plane.

At least the number of deaths doesn’t spike as much as infections. But it’s probably too early to tell, since hospitalizations and death rates always take a few weeks to kick in. The UK is probably our first signal. Would be great if this variant is mild. Then we could go for herd immunization. Although mild is a tricky expression. This variant could trigger a lot of lasting symptoms, like long Covid patients have. Fingers crossed there will be an end to this in 2022.

This variant could trigger a lot of lasting symptoms, like long Covid patients have. Fingers crossed there will be an end to this in 2022. For the first time in this pandemic I really have hope that it soon could be over, Omicron is more infectious than other strains, but it seems to be not that bad than the other ones (sure there will be deaths and hospitalizations, but less in percent than with Delta), and it will infect many people, so future waves and strains won't have it that easy to infect people.
But I'm just a couchpotato who combines something in his wobbly head.
