Talked to a few folks there, one woman who worked in the hospital said that heart problems among younger people were rampant but she was unsure of the cause.

Why then is this nowhere to be found in the news apart from a site called Dissident. (A great site, with news like: "Are pox a new bioweapon trying to end humanity" with a picture of Bill Gates added to the news story.) You'd expect it to be a huge deal. You're obviously just trying to muddy the waters with bad anecdotal takes.

not saying I believe things one way or the other, but is it in the best interest of news orgs to report anything that can be seen as "anti vaxx"?

similar to how they make it seem like the end of the world to end the forever wars. "if we could only stay 20 more years to pull out the right way!"  :trumps

One thing she mentioned is that because people think that the doctor is too busy or doesn't have time for them, somewhat innocent issues aren't treated (stress, high blood pressure, infections etc.) and over time those evolve into bigger problems.
Treatments that are postponed are also a big problem causing all kinds of complications. It could also be symptoms related to long COVID as some folks have poorer health overall or just the fact that people aren't exercising.
She was mostly worried that no one really had the time to look into it and they had so many more patients to deal with on top of the COVID patients.

The news isn't meant to take a stance. They're supposed to state the facts. I can't help that American news is absolute dogshit. Our Dutch news is obviously leftist slanted, but at least the numbers and facts stated within a news article are easily verifiable and if there's obvious falsehoods these journalists can be held acountable. If it's an opinion piece, it has to be stated as such.

What can i say, we don't have that many distinguished mentally-challenged fellows  :lol

but there was a proper demonstration without any violence against the vaccine passport on saturday but it wasn't even mentioned in swedish media. The demonstrations in the netherlands got lots of coverage though.

Weird that. I guess now the passport opponents knows what to do next time  :thinking

Our PM spoke out against the violence, said he did not see it as a protest just pure aggression. No new measures for now.
Will decide on next steps by December 3rd (perhaps earlier depending on how things develop in the hospitals).

Our government is calling on people to use their common sense(again) and to follow the basic rules (wash your hands, keep your distance, work from home).
If we don't follow the rules this week than lockdown-like regulations will likely be implemented.

Now both sides are angry, the people who want our government to act more swiftly (i.e. ban opposition parties, mandate vaccinations, do another lockdown) and the people who want all restrictions lifted and their freedomTM back.

Our government took matters into their own hands today.
From now on, the 1.5m distance rule is again Mandatory for all citizens.
Next monday or tuesday they will announce new regulations quoting a government source 'everything is on the table'

Well not everything, because they don't want to close schools again but most infections are in the age groups 5 - 14 and 35 - 44. (i.e. parents and children)

Also pending these new regulations it's fucking busy everywhere. I could hardly find a place to park my car when I got home today.
People want their Black Friday / Sinterklaas + Zwarte Piet ;) shopping done.

The group of medical advisors that consults the government has said they are afraid and 'seeing signs' that people are not changing their behaviour like before.


+ 23k cases today, hospital admissions are increasing rapidly now too by about ~300 daily.

New record +23.789 cases

Our government is in total panic and has once again asked the medical experts for advice.
Tommorow they will decide what to do and make announcements on Friday.

Everyone expects a lockdown at this point, as it is basically inevitable. Otherwise they might as well scrap all regulations.
The question is if they are doing another lockdown with hundreds of exemptions or if the schools, shops etc. will also close.
Tommorow is going to be chaos as everyone will try to get their Black Friday deals before the lockdown goes into effect.

For my Dutch friends here reading this, from what I've been told, the lockdown will go into effect Friday night immediately after the press conference.

Not to jinx things, but definitely to brag, Ontario is doing really well.  About half of people still mask up outside (though this could just be due to it being cold) and almost everyone indoors.  We have 89% and 85% first and second dose of +12 pop, with kids just becoming eligible a few days ago.   Turns out that having extended lockdowns do actually work.

Government is in total panic and in disagreement with their advisory bodies on COVID as the healthcare system collapses.
Something they said wouldn't happen yesterday. This has become a case study in hypernormalization.

With people in hospitals or sick at home, they've also figured out there isn't enough home / social care available either increasing pressure on hospitals.
Transplants and surgeries are being delayed. Finally everyone wonders: "Why didn't the government do anything to prevent this?"
Rutte's austerity and his desperate attempt to stay in power is exploding in his face which he barely shows at this point.

Hospitals have requested the health minister to send in the army to help as they've reached phase 2. A request he says he will carefully study once he officially receives it.
Regular healthcare or planned care as they call it, is scaled down as they prepare for much worse. The final phase is 'code black' or phase 3.
What does phase 3 look like Nintex? Well, I'm not joking but in phase 3 the doctor assigns the patients in need of an ICU bed (who aren't denied already on medical grounds) a number (take a screenshot first to make sure there is no voter fraud), then they go to random.org/lists and click on randomize.
Whoever gets the lucky number gets an ICU bed, who doesn't... something to ease the pain.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
[close]

Let's hope it doesn't come to this. There is also an alternative theory and model that predicts we've reached the peak of infections and are close to herd immunity (for real this time) and we just have to hold on a few days for infections to drop again.

Tommorow I'm going out for dinner for the last time before we batten down the hatches.

Highlights from our government:

"We apologize for our poor communication"

"Don't visit your grandparents under any circumstances! ... only visit them once if you really really have to ... test before you do"

"We thought the vaccines would work, they didn't but..."

"Of course our policy is to reach immunity by getting as many people sick as possible but preferably we achieve that through vaccination"

"It's terrible that we've ended up in this unavoidable, unforeseeable, incredibly challenging situation"

They've decided to close up everything between 17:00 and 05:00 starting Sunday. Because the virus can tell time :idont

Game over for Nintex

Quote
At least 15 passengers from the two KLM flights from South Africa that arrived at Schiphol earlier today have tested positive for the coronavirus. The planes carried a total of over 600 passengers, all of whom had to be tested. According to the GGD Kennemerland, the first 110 test results have come in, of which 15 are positive.

Based on that result, the GGD says it expects a "finding rate" of 13.6 percent. "That means we're taking into account about 85 positive coronavirus tests in total," he said. Which variant of the coronavirus the positively tested travelers were infected with is not yet known.

The best thing about skipping over Xi is that it makes it look suspicious and thus it will get more attention.
So the "researchers" will make sure we don't forget that "they" did it and what it all means.

Bonus points if Trump finds out by watching Tucker.

None of these variants really stuck, people just call it corona virus. I wonder if it has pronouns.

So I fucked things up - I burned bridges with one of the only social aspects I have left in my life. All for the same goddamn reasons as every time before. I'm an argumentative, toxic, disgusting prick who can't socialise properly and can't relate to anyone. If I'm not making anywhere I go actively worse I make things awkward, or weird, or just don't contribute at all. I've never been in a relationship - primarily because I'm asexual - but also because I literally can't see myself as capable of maintaining such a relationship. If I can't even say "Hello" to the literal ace person I matched with on Tinder what can I do?

So... I don't know. I don't know why I'm making this thread or what I even want to get out of it. After nearly 24 years of not being able to learn how to be social, of constantly ending up as "that fat ugly alone guy in the corner," I have no idea what I can do outside of literally reinventing myself. But that's not possible, even on the internet. Because I'll always be me.

Yeah, sure, I can "go to therapy," and all that but going to therapy won't reverse all those years, and even in my best moments I still can't actually maintain anything. I could try to be social in groups and what-not but, well, if a group isn't already well-established it's probably not accessible to me anyway. Literally all the people where I live are old Tories or young kids, and I have to take a 2-hour journey to get anywhere where that isn't automatically the case. Of course that's ignoring the fact that, during school and university - when people my age and with similar interests were plentiful - I still ended up being "that lonely guy." It's only going to get so much harder now that I'm older and jobs, children, marriage, etc make the pool of people who'd even have the literal time to put up with me so much smaller.

So, again, I don't know. I'm probably going to be deleting my account here, knowing I can't make another, because I just know that I'll eventually fuck things up here as well somehow. I've been here for over 3 years now and I can't say that I've contributed anything but making people hate me.

If anyone can give me any tips, or know-how, or anything, that would be very much appreciated but I cannot say that it'll help. Sorry.

This is one of those guys who has spent the last year ranting about Covid and insulting his co-workers.

I wouldn't be surprised if all Ree's "prominents" live like this.
