nowadays I don't have a tv, don't listen to radio, don't use social media and only check the news online once a day at the most, and from a site that isn't supported by ads. The news is still bleak and focused on bad things because that brings visitors but at least it isn't as horrible as in the ad money seeking sites.

I was somewhere around Old Man Star, on the edge of Essence, when drugs began to take hold.
What do you do with your girlfriend/wife at home then?
Fair point duck.You say things like "there was extensive research to the first lockdown and the effects were really minimal" and "so far scientists say this stopping of traffic, which is the real goal-stop interaction, has minimal effects". Do you have any basis for these views? Or is it just something you heard on FB?Nah to be honest i get Lief's point.No country can pull a better healthcare system out of their ass on a whim, that was exactly why most countries locked down you asshat.
The thing is we are almost 2 years in this pandemic and how i understand the Dutch numbers there was extensive research to the first lockdown and the effects were really minimal for the drastic impact to society.
So the gov got those numbers and instead of a full curfew they opted to close all shops at 17:00 or 20:00.
Again so far scientists say this stopping of traffic, which is the real goal-stop interaction, has minimal effects. You could say any effect is better than no effect sure. The drastic impact on society is huge tho. We are down to 4 people recommended at e.g. xmas. Survey says 80% will ignore it after 2020.
I do not have the answers but in my opinion looking at the billions spend, giving everybody a free gym membership will do just as much as the impotent measures taken.
So i get my numbers from my corporation information dashboard (of course in dutch). I work for the largest mental health care company in Holland. I deleted my FB in 2014.
Curfew and lockdown seem to be between 4 to 10% effective, all studies say those aspect are really hard to measure. For example face mask is at 13% solid effective and room scrubbers (as i understood it machines like on planes cleaning air) are at 18-28% effective. The compound measure in % is what you usually see in then news. All my numbers are of course NL.
For those reasons my company has invested millions on room air scrubbers for group counselling and work -at site- conference rooms who are now equipped with them. We also are mandated to put on face masks in the office plus we have a 100% vaccination rate.
So pls do read what i said again and i get 'any effect is better than no effect' but from my work field i am biased, i said this many times before on FHC as a psych. My point is just that the lockdown and curfew measures are such a disrupting measure to society i doubt them.
Looking at numbers in ICU. Its is high elderly, then non vax and after that people with underlying health care issues, biggest group of them being obese patients. So if you look at NL spending over 10b by now get everybody a free gym pass for a year. Getting obese ppl down out of icu is the top 3 cost saver, as i get it they dont die much just a long time on icu.

When i speak of R it is of course R(t). Ane when i say i am biased i do look more at psych health issues that other issues.

Duck asks for sources, Sacul instead pulls more stats out of his anus with a helping reach around from Bro Jogan. "BUT ITS ON MY WORK DASHBOARD". Mfw your work dashboard has access to totally different numbers than everyone else
yeh man sure pull Rogan in here, you do you bro.
I really dont think my work numbers are pulling it out of my arse. Especially as they they are the numbers mandating face masks at work and scrubbers at work that cost millions.
You seem to be mistaken me for a right wing vax denier for a year now. Pls read what i said or just get fucked.
I actually work in a field where measures are really important both for patients and our work crew. Why in the world would i spout lies about it all as i just get my numbers from work and deal with it every day. I am saying i am biased, said so many many times, and i am reporting from my real life.
Do tell us more from the work field of whatever the fuck you do in energy Lord Haw Haw.
I am sure its way more valuable than from somebody actually working in health care and now again doing weekend volunteer work as i did in march-june 2020.
The only person on this forum i actually trust on rl experience data is Cosmin as he also actually works in health care but seems to have a different experience than me.

I generally think media has gone off the rails on all sides, not just right wing. It's all manner of doomsaying and that's all it's been since the start. No matter your views there's some major article blaming everyone but government and corporations, and largely its sowing the seeds of the things people are becoming deranged about. I've become less and less inclined to read any articles about breaking news on new developments because they are walked back or rearranged so infrequently after being proven wrong. Not that I think watching some equally ill informed man talk about it on Youtube for an hour with a guest with fringe ideas is news of valu either, the simple truth is it's still unknown how things work from the start of the pandemic, and science isn't a speedrun. The panic inducment is not helping anyone though.
"We are intent on not letting Omicron disrupt work and school for the vaccinated. You’ve done the right thing, and we will get through this.You have to put a bit more effort into your trolling. Which specific statements were troublesome?
For the unvaccinated, you’re looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm."
Good luck everybody!
Just from today; 1-5 people even know what I'm talking about if I bring up omicron. lol

Jesus christ I hate americans.What do you do with your girlfriend/wife at home then?
There is no left wing mainstream media.I generally think media has gone off the rails on all sides, not just right wing.
Look, the wages you withheld from the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves for slaughter.

Viking, n.:
1. Daring Scandinavian seafarers, explorers, adventurers, entrepreneurs world-famous for their aggressive, nautical import business, highly leveraged takeovers and blue eyes.
2. Bloodthirsty sea pirates who ravaged northern Europe beginning in the 9th century.
Hagar's note: The first definition is much preferred; the second is used only by malcontents, the envious, and disgruntled owners of waterfront property.
