They still don't get to my "age group" here. I'm too young and pretty. Still about three weeks or so for my first dose of thunder.

A month or so ago many restrictions were toned down, e.g. 1.5 meter distance, wearing mouthmasks, and bars and clubs were reopened, concerts and festivals were allowed again
At the end of June we had only 500 infections
This week we had 7000!! Especially under young people

So we will be having more restrictions again. We need to keep attention to distance again. Bars can only be opened if customers are seated with distance applied, and there's a midnight curfew. Clubs are closed and festivals are canceled, except if there's distance applied which is impossible for the techno festivals like Mysteryland.

Infection rates have been rather low-ish in Austria for about a month or two now. But I can see a similar scenario happening here too. Lots of measures have been lifted. Clubs and bars have reopened. They are supposed to only let people in who are either tested, vaccinated or have rather recently recovered from Covid, however, a lot of them don't really check for that and just about let anyone in, no questions asked. People have no regard for personal space or keeping a distance anymore either. Lots of dancing on the edge of an active volcano. It's last year all over again. Summer's euphoria kicking in, no precautions being taken, then the tide turns and the numbers are skyrocketing - lockdowns and harsh restrictions ensue - driving idiots towards reactionary conspiracy theories and extremist ideas. Rinse, repeat.

Here's a translation of a retrospective news article of what happened over the past few weeks in the Netherlands:
How the cabinet was still surprised by the delta variant

So officially you had to be tested to get into a club, but some clubs would allow you in anyway because they made it practically impossible to get the test results in time. Plus apparently (don't think it is mentioned in the article) it was quite easy to reproduce a fake negative test result.

^ Thanks for the link. Different scenario here, at least in Vienna - it's rather easy to get test results quickly here. Even some you can do at home are accepted - ones you have to send in somewhere and wait a few hours to find out the results though - so planning ahead shouldn't be a big problem. However, a lot of locations just don't bother checking, for fear of losing customers probably (which in the long run is kind of stupid considering they'll lose many more if word of a cluster spreads).



The reigning coalition is currently pushing laissez-faire rhetoric and relaxing-of-measures policies for populist reasons. Regional governments are somewhat pushing back though - the Viennese mayor and his party affiliate and former Chancellor candidate Pamela Rendi Wagner have openly proclaimed their discomfort with the lack of care being taken right now - especially with regards to the lifting of the FFP2 mask mandate. The latter of the two being an actual virologist, btw.


I have at least gotten my first part of the vaccine, with the second injection coming soon, so I'm a tad more mentally relaxed now. I am however aware that a good amount of people have still not even received their first shot yet and that's not necessarily down to their personal choice (in some cases it is, but can't help those). The government could have had many more doses ready much sooner, but they seriously bungled this whole thing. And communication has been an issue from the very beginning. So lifting everything prematurely and acting like a) Everyone who wants to is fully vaccinated at this point and b) a vaccination equals inability to spread the virus, is kind of a frightening consensus by the powers that be right now - completely fucking over those that have not had the chance to get vaxxed by now or those who are rightfully concerned about a possible spread still. Right up until the numbers go up again and everyone acts like no one could have known. The human condition is a sucker.

So, in conclusion: Different details, but I can easily see numbers going up again sharply like they did in the Netherlands. The whole thing about testing being rather easy here certainly is a big advantage. But it only works if public institutions actually check for that and if people are not disincentivized to get tested by the lax atmosphere.

Fresh from the press:

15:23
For the first time since December 25, more than 10,000 new corona cases have been identified in one day. Between Friday morning and Saturday morning, the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment received 10,345 reports of positive tests. That is nine times as many as last Saturday's number.

I just went to the supermarket, some staff is wearing masks, but customers are not required so noone does (including myself actually). I thought there would have been restrictions already but apparently not ...
I have my first vaccine as well and the second in two weeks.

The estimation by government is that every adult (who wants it) is vaccinated by the end of August and all children of 12 and older by September. So with that we are on track compared with other countries, but we've lowered the barriers perhaps too early and too drastically.

What also wasn't mentioned in the article is that a lot of kids went on holiday to Spain or elsewhere and got infected there.

OH MY FUCKING GOD, GET THE FUCKING VACCINE ALREADY, YOU FUCKING FUCKS
by WENDY MOLYNEUX

Hi, if you are reading this essay then congratulations, you are still alive. And if you are alive, then you have either gotten the COVID-19 vaccine, or you still have the opportunity to get the vaccine against COVID-19. And holy fuck, if you aren’t fucking vaccinated against COVID-19, then you need to get fucking vaccinated right now. I mean, what the fuck? Fuck you. Get vaccinated. Fuck.

The fucking vaccine will not make you magnetic. Are you fucking kidding me? It just fucking won’t. That’s not even a fucking thing, and that lady who tried to pretend the vaccine made her fucking magnetic looked like a real fucking fuckwad and a fucking idiot, so get fucking vaccinated. Jesus. Fuck.

The vaccine also doesn’t have a fucking 5G chip in it. What the fuck do you think a fucking 5G chip is, fucknuts? You think it’s like some invisible nanotechnology they can suspend in a liquid and then just put in your fucking blood and then it what, exactly? Fucking floats around in your body going on Instagram and telling the government you went to the grocery store? No one fucking cares where you go, you absolute fucking fuck-barf. Fuck off with that. Fuck.

Oh, you’re afraid of fucking side effects? Fuck you. You know what has fucking side effects? Fucking aspirin, fucking Tylenol. You could be fucking allergic to pineapple, you fucking fuckwit. Everything has side effects. You’re being a big fucking baby with a huge diaper full of fucking diarrhea, complaining about maybe feeling slightly tired for a day or two while your asymptomatic COVID case you get and pass to some innocent fucking kid could wind up killing them or someone else. Fuck you, you fucking selfish fucking shit-banana, you unredeemable ass-caterpillar, you fucking fuck-knob with two fucks for eyes and a literal poop where your heart should be. You want a two-month-old to wind up on a fucking ventilator instead of you, a fucking adult, getting a fucking sore arm for a day? What are you, a pitcher for the Yankees? A fucking concert pianist? An arm model? Get the fuck out of here! Fuck you. Get vaccinated. Fuck. Fuck you!

You think vaccines don’t fucking work? Oh, fuck off into the trash, you attention-seeking fuckworm-faced shitbutt. This isn’t even a point worth discussing, you fuck-o-rama fuck-stival of ignorance. Vaccines got rid of smallpox and polio and all the other disgusting diseases that used to kill off little fucks like you en masse. Your relatives got fucking vaccinated and let you live, and now here you are signing up to be killed by a fucking disease against which there is a ninety-nine-percent effective vaccine. You fucking moron. Go in the fucking ocean and fuck a piranha. Fuck. Fuck that. Fuck you. Get vaccinated.

Oh, you say you have a genuine allergy or medical condition that prevents you from receiving a fucking vaccine? That’s fine. I’m clearly not talking to you. I fucking love you. Fuck.

Look, if you have been forwarded this essay from a friend or loved one, then there are two possibilities. Either you are a normal, regular, sensible fucking person like me who got fucking vaccinated at the first possible moment, and this essay channels all your fucking rage and sadness and is therefore cathartic OR, and I really hope this isn’t the fucking case, you AREN’T fucking vaccinated, and someone sent it to you because you fucking fucking fuck, you need to get fucking vaccinated. And rather than being fucking offended that someone is trying yet again to get you to take the fucking vaccine, you should understand that someone fucking loves you enough to try one last motherfucking time to get you to take the fucking vaccine before you fuck off to heaven, or hell, or some in-between place that’s just like a fucking mall or something where everything is free, including and especially the soft pretzels. So, congratulations! There is ONE person remaining in your life who wants to fucking save you from drowning in your own fucking lungs, you fucking fuckshit fuckdick, so for god’s sake, get your fucking ass out of your chair, go to the fucking pharmacy, and get a fucking vaccine, you absolute conscienceless fucking fuck fuck fuck. Get it. Get the fucking vaccine. Fuck you. Fuck fuck fuck. Fuck. Fuck you. Fuck!
