Next up, there's yer Switzerland chucking all covid nonsense, including masks and vaccine passports, on the bonfire later this month. bQshDtu.png

Home of the WEF as well. Did they consult Schwab at Davos, @Detournement?

You now have a Digital ID and have taken three vaccines which were absolutely pointless for your personally but you are convinced that Digital ID and vaccine mandates aren't real.

Went out for a meal at dinner time  at an all you can eat restaurant and you had to wear your mask whenever you moved from your seat to the buffet. 

Yeah, your seat is a Covid free zone but the rest of the restaurant is riddled with it

Same in the pub, you can only be infected in the toilet or up at the bar.

That's my bairn got a sore throat and a cough so we 'have to' keep her off school even though we tested her last night and she was negative.

In normal times there is no way she'd be off but with almost half of her class off this week I guess we would look like reckless parents if we sent her in. The school even say that we should take her to Garthdee for a PCR test.

Cults is near top of the charts for covid at the moment. 

Inverkeithing East is 9th as well. I was down there 2 weeks ago at a funeral. Am I a superspreader?

I’m off with Covid just now. Started with a sore throat and just feeling a bit off on Saturday. Took an LFT and it was negative. Did another LFT and PCR on Monday and they were positive. For some reason I was getting heartburn too. Now it’s a bit of a barking cough and a snotty nose. Not exactly life threatening but the self isolating makes things difficult.

Anyway, fairly sure I’ll survive and glad I’ve finally got it out the road.

Many folk - including on this thread - asked last year how Australia and New Zealand would ever get out of the pandemic. Many others were pointing to their "normal" life whilst we were in lockdown. 

This has come to pass. NZ still utterly obsessed with "cases". 5 folk catch Omicron and they shut down half the country for weeks on end. 

the trouble is, they need to shift their perception of the virus and tell people to learn to live with it. That goes against their message for the last 2 years. But the alternative is never ending lockdowns and no travel.

I expect they will once they've rolled out their booster jags, they're still playing catch up. Apart from vaccines they've got near zero natural immunity outside Auckland.

All that is fine and well, but @welshbairn's relatives aren't in that half of New Zealand so it doesn't actually count.

They are going to get absolutely rode with "cases" when they open up no matter how many boosters they chuck out - the vaccines are proving a bit useless at preventing infection.

The challenge for NZ isn't boosters, it's getting people off the case obsession fear train.

They're proving very effective at reducing hospitalisation though, especially after a booster. I agree that case rates aren't the issue anymore.

I didn't say they weren't.

You've ignored the entire point I was making.
