68% of the population is fully vaccinated. But overall, were people on board with the measures, like social distancing and staying home if they were sick?
I said overall, because obviously, you can't have 100% cooperation unless it is forced, at which point it's more coercion.
Yes overall people where on board with the measures.

While I have been enjoying going out at restaurants again for a while now, at work two residents on the same unit just tested positive.
No words among employees but ever since the vaccination began, the testing dropped significantly.
I must note that those residents were also able to leave the building to go outside, so the "how" or "through whom" they got infected is still an open question.
Also, the last anti-vax guy I was working with got placed on unpaid leave for not willing to even get tested. So he's out until he proves he's been vaccinated, or brings negative test results or his out for so long that they cut him out of the system.
That's how it is for now.

In the last two years only three infections in my personal environment, and all three showed no or very slight symptoms. A 4th one if I include a co-worker of my brother whom I never met in my live.
We were told as soon as the vaccine has arrived and everyone who wants to be vaccinated had the opportunity to be vaccinated, we will get our freedom back - a lie! A fucking lie. I got vaccinated, what I bitterly regret and caused my great harm. I was severely sick for twelve days, and even now I have not fully recovered.
In the time of the "pandemic" 4000 ICU units were cut down, while our health system should be on the brink of collapse because we have less than these 4000 Corona patients in ICUs...
Germany has roughly 2000 hospitals, and thus around 2 patient for each of it...why reducing capacities instead of increasing them, when the health system is the bottleneck, the frontline, the whatever...the reason why we don't get our freedom back, and our constitutional rights are denied.
Don't keep an entire people hostage or put the blame on the unvaccinated. It is all solely and utterly and exclusively the fault of the government. Merkel should be put on trial.
Everyone had the chance to get vaccinated, who didn't, shall suffer the consequence, the triage...
There is no need for tests or vaccination rates etc. pp. if we get finally the triage.
Again: get vaccinated, or suffer the consequence. And stop the lie about children etc. pp. who are not threatened by this virus.
In two year, 29 people of the age 0-19 died in Germany allegedly because of COVID, two third of them with severe precondition. By now five children died of the vaccine, there of them with severe precondition. Considering the rather short time span and the extremely low vaccination rate among children, the vaccine appears to be the greater danger, but both on an extremely low level.
Around 30 deaths in two years among a group of 20 million - and the most of them with life threatening pre-conditions.

Landed in Miami today for the weekend. Going to hunt down Xeliou66.
Kidding. Maybe....
Woke up at 7:30am, had a shitty sandwich at about 10:00am, then didn’t eat until just now, about 9:30 pm. Not feeling especially great.

Anyone want to share how things are where you are? I'm having a booster tomorrow. Trying not to overreact - with suggestions that Omicron, while wildly infectious, typically results in milder symptoms - but all the cancellations in sports alone make you wonder about where we're headed in the next few days and weeks.

Trying not to overreact - with suggestions that Omicron, while wildly infectious, typically results in milder symptoms - but all the cancellations in sports alone make you wonder about where we're headed in the next few days and weeks. I had my booster a few weeks ago and it hit me like a ton of bricks. The first shot I was exhausted, basically slept for the remainder of the day after getting it; the second shot I felt no reaction whatsoever. But the booster, hot damm, it felt like I got hit by a car for about 24 hours. Here in NY, positive tests are on the rise which makes sense given the colder weather forcing people indoors and holidays putting people together en masse. It's not a shocker when you factor those things together, coupled with the still-insane-fucking-amount-of-idiots who think vaccines are part of a deep state conspiracy. Just over the past week, I've received many calls from people that I have been in contact with, both at work and at various holiday parties, indicating that they, or someone in their immediate family, have tested positive. At my gym holiday party last week, I received calls from 6 different people who were there that have since tested positive. One of them is in the hospital with severe symptons....that person was not vaccinated. The rest were all vaccinated and unboosted, but were totally fine. I got tested on Friday and I came up negative, so the boosters definitely work. The upshot being that omicron seems vastly more contagious but also much less severe. Of course, if you're unvaccinated, all bets are off as to how you'll react. For me, however, I'm having heart surgery in early January. It's not major surgery, but if I test positive at all, I can't get the procedure done. So other than going to the in-laws on Friday night, I'm trapped in my home for the next few weeks.

Trying not to overreact - with suggestions that Omicron, while wildly infectious, typically results in milder symptoms - but all the cancellations in sports alone make you wonder about where we're headed in the next few days and weeks. Cases are on the rise everywhere, the hospitalizations are the unvaccinated. For the life of me I can't understand the cancelations. "Some people don't want to wear seatbelts. So we've decided nobody should drive cars anymore." My family is vaccinated, and I'm still stuck wearing asks, seeing business plummet and watching live events being canceled until kingdom come due to the sheer ignorance of other people. We're screwed because the media is still trying to scare the unvaccinated, and it's having the opposite effect, sending fully vaccinated liberals into a frenzy and causing shutdowns. Unvaccinated Omicron cases might overwhelm the healthcare system, or so they say. Frankly if you can't force people to get the vaccine, you should tell hospitals to tell the unvaccinated to fuck themselves when they show up...but I guess that's why I'm not a healthcare worker. Anyway good luck to those of us with common sense, it'll be another season of empty stadiums and canceled concerts. Maybe by spring they'll have approved those covid treatment drugs and we can finally move on. Kind of amazing to think of how many ways the brainwashed masses are ruining the world for intelligent people right now.

Hey, hope all goes well with the surgery...if you survive the in laws! Thanks buddy Best of luck Pal. Hope all goes smoothly and wish you a speedy recovery! Hit my house last week. Both of my kids tested positive while my wife and I tested negative. Kids had almost no symptoms, just a slight cough. We only got them tested as my daughter was deemed a close contact. They are perfectly fine, thank God. The crappy part is we are supposed to go Florida for Christmas to see family. The wife and I are getting tested again tomorrow as we'll be in that 5-7 day range. If negative, we go. If positive, can't go see my mom who has a stent in her heart and dad who has lost a kidney to cancer.

“Heart surgery” and “not major surgery” would seem contradictory at first glance… In any case, I hope everything goes well!
The number of daily new COVID cases here in Quebec is higher than it has ever been (yes, including the height of the first and second waves). The government is introducing new restrictions, such as reducing capacity in restaurants and entertainment venues, and closing dance clubs again.
I don’t think I will be eligible for the booster shot before the New Year. I have a trip to California scheduled for mid-January, but who know what’s going to happen by then. I hope I don’t have to quarantine when I get back.
My sister got COVID, probably at her workplace. One of her co-workers got it after an outbreak at her daughter’s school. By the time she got tested and received the positive result, two other people in the office had been infected as well (including my sister). Fortunately all three had been vaccinated and none of them had any serious symptoms.

Getting the 3rd shot wednesday (essential worker, which is why I'm getting it faster than others except the elderly).
Measures are taken right and left to try to contain Omicron but it seems to be blazing through the population like a wildfire on dry weed.
Talking about Québec too.

Ontario... where we fill out pages of online portal jargon only to be shown yellow pages of pharmacy phone numbers.
Or you could just google them yourself. The pharmacy I got my 2nd in June isn't even answering their phone lols... no doubt they've not nearly enough jabs for the demand yet.
My region isn't letting under 50's queue up yet, that should change in January. I probably just need a booster by mid Feb.
As for lockdowns... it's not that Omicron is more deadly, it's not... it's that numbers are doubling over 3 days here now, & the rate will push deaths up.
I f'n defy Major League Baseball to cancel games because of their economics.
