We have a curfew since yesterday evening. In some towns there were riots then. This afternoon there were protests in my hometown which ended up in riots.
Here's in front of the train station The windows of the train station are demolished, supermarkets and other shops inside and nearby were plundered Bikes were used as barricades A woman got hit full in the face by a water cannon, and got smacked onto the concrete wall behind her :-D There's a video of it too. There's also footage of her afterwards with her face covered in blood, but I'll spare you those. More pictures are here, on the site of the local newspaper. Including the new look of the train station with all windows broken

On the one hand, I'm really sorry about the riots happening and I hope that you're able to sort things out soon. But on the other, bicycles as barricades? You Dutchies are really beyond parody

The odd thing is, I live just outside of the city centre, about a 10 minute bike ride from the train station and I noticed nothing. Normally I notice police sirens when they drive by.
There are always hundreds of bikes parked outside the station. Guess they're all burned and trashed now. Some politicians said this was the worst riots in the country in 40 years, the punk/squatter riots in the eighties.

Wisconsin pharmacist who destroyed more than 500 vaccine doses believes Earth is flat, FBI says
Try to make this up: "In another interview with authorities, pharmacy technician Sarah Sticker said Steven Brandenburg [the dipshit in question] sent her text messages promoting false beliefs he supported, including that the sky was not really the sky but a 'shield put up by the government to prevent individuals from seeing God,' court records show."

Anyone else feeling like the effects of the crisis are sort of manifesting themselves in what I can only describe as a psychological Horror movie? Where it's not so much body horror, but more a widespread infestation of mind-corrupting brain bugs? So many people at least partly buying into total BS theories right now or coping in rather unhealthy/irresponsible ways. People that seemed somewhat reasonable before all that shit went down. Fuck the time we're living in.

"Non-essential" retail is allowed to open again tomorrow after being closed for over a month in Austria. And everything's full of ads announcing huge fucking clearance sales. Something...something its own tail.
Freaking commercialism is absolutely running amuck. And people will flock to furniture stores to buy whatever they wish to fill the gaping hole in their soul with - potentially risking another massive increase in new infections. Not that the numbers right now are great. This sad charade is getting absolutely disgusting and tiresome. But hey, people are losing their shit right now. How about instead of working out a comprehensive and effective plan to get the vaccinations going at a sensible pace or compensating those working tirelessly so our medical system still works accordingly, we just open all the stores again and let people substitute their lack of hope or meaningful connections with mindless consumerism? |

I'm looking at pre-Superbowl crowds in Florida. Pandemic? What pandemic?

I feel like every country has it's own Florida. In Austria, it is definitely the Tyrol right now - where, despite a harsh lockdown, tourists were able to lodge and party in a specific region, because they were pretending to establish a secondary residence there and looking for a job - something that was far too easy to accomplish and must have been sanctioned in some way by local profiteers. Also: In spite of the lockdown, skiing resorts were still allowed to be opened - resulting in a good amount of clusters. I think this photo may actually be from the neighboring state of Vorarlberg, but the scenario is quite similar. Mind you, all other societal events that consist of people gathering in larger groups (that is more than two households at a time) were forbidden, including pretty much any type of sports activities - yet skiing was miraculously greenlit, making it an absolute monopoly people who were cooped up were flocking to. The amount of sheer fucking incompetence and irresponsible cherry-picking (also corruption, considering a lot in the skiing business are members of the Conservative Party - which holds the majority in the current government) is glaring. Also, wild parties in Austrian skiing resorts were responsible for a substantial amount of infections all across Europe back when the whole shit really began a year ago. It was party central for drunk, irresponsible yokels and ignorant tourists then and it seems like there's still a lot of that going on in those regions now - just in a more clandestine, roundabout way. |

From the Associated Press: Austria warns against travel to Tyrol, eases virus curbs VIENNA (AP) — Austria on Monday issued a warning against travel to its Tyrol province amid concerns over cases of a coronavirus variant first discovered in South Africa, even as the country eased its third lockdown by reopening schools, shops, hairdressing salons, museums and zoos.

Another five day lockdown (or, as they insist on calling it, 'circuit-breaker') here in Victoria, harshest restrictions we had last year. I get it, but surely considering how few relative numbers we have, we should actually be better by now?
