Coronavirus outbreak

[stevyy]

I blame this solely on Germanys low vaccination levels as a result of the anti vaccination propaganda which was heavily pushed. Countries with good vaccination rates are functioning with practically no restrictions while there seems to be no end in sight in Germany. Stay safe king.

i saw these numbers: those infected are

76% - 1x vaxxed
67% - 2x vaxxed
56% - triple vaxxed

almost 60 kids are dead.

At my school, Corona is xploding... in fact in GER the numbers are exponentially growing again. I expect 300k daily cases by late next week.

I wish those two all the best and a speedy recovery!

Well mild symptoms...one of my pupils had so much fever he was hallucinating and has no recollection of what he was doing.
I had to send another one home as she was as white as a sheet.

60 out of millions, stevyy . Of course it's sad what happened to those kids, but we need to put that number into context. But yeah, of course, in order to build up immunisation, people need to get infected - the vaccination alone won't do the trick.

[stevyy]

Well, children need to get infected to build up immunisation, but fortunately, most have very mild symptoms. If there was no more mandatory testing (as is the case in some countries already), you probably wouldn't even notice.

8 pupils tested positive today.
Only had 11 kids in class this afternoon, my colleague on’y had 6. The bitch is back

Apparently, the mask rule may drop for most areas from March 20th on in Germany (source).

She finally got me thanks to Mardi Gras! Finally quite miserable but hopefully it’ll only last a few days

[theMathematician]

stevyy 's new favorite word is 'eons', it seems .

Numbers are increasing, but not 'exploding', that's stevyy speech again. Where have mask mandates got relaxed?

-----

The mandatory vaccination in Austria was cancelled.

[stevyy]

numbers in GER are exploding again (right now) (amidst rolling back mask mandates and vaxx rules).

incidence rates are again approaching 3,000 for students. I now personally know eons of kids who've got it twice or three times.

It’s weird not seeing folks with masks on. A gradual return to a new normal has begun and it’s going remote.

[thatstheteacherinmehbaby]

Also here in Maryland they have stopped the mask mandates last week...

Now the ONLY PLACES that masks are still mandated @ are in medical facilities (doctors offices, hospitals, urgent care centers,) & on airplanes... & like I said in my previous post, it feels great to not have a mask on @ work all day!

[thatstheteacherinmehbaby]

It was ? In Germany, that's still the case.

KEY9481 : What are the reasoms why you are unsure whether to drop the mask or not?

Personally I am VERY GLAD to be removing the mask!

Sorry but I think those flimsy masks that they sold here in my country in the United States DID NOT REALLY WORK THAT WELL! Because even though we all wore them @ work, in public places, etc... Many people that I know STILL CAUGHT COVID! & yes the vast majority of those people WERE ALSO VACCINATED! So yes I can understand the vaccines & masks & all that, but now after 2 years & that more people have been vaccinated than not, it is finally time to ditch the masks & for things to slowly go back to somewhat normal! We just all have to be careful thats all... Definitely make sure our hands are frequently washed & sanitized so to minimized the spread of germs as we should be doing anyway (even before this whole pandemic started!)

[theMathematician]

Yeah that was plain ridiculous.

KEY9481 : What are the reasoms why you are unsure whether to drop the mask or not?

[KEY9481]

Same.

It never made sense to me that we had to wear a mask when entering a bar or cinema, but the moment we sat down and started eating or drinking we could take our mask off.

Yeah that was plain ridiculous.

No more masks anywhere in France except for public transportation and medical facilities on March 14.
I don't know if I am ready to leave my mask...

I totally understand where you are coming from. In France there are people like everywhere. So crowded always. Its insane, especially big cities.

[jordi_89]

I will wear it on a bus or train or plane thassit

[theMathematician]

What are the reasoms for hesitating? Maybe your fears are intuitive and unfounded...

Looks like Germany are paying the price for all the anti vaccine propaganda while the rest of Europe is living normally and have great vaccines rates. You reap what you sow I guess.

[theMathematician]

spiritboy : It would be great if you could answer the question in the previous post <3 .

The German health minister (who happens to be an attention seeker and likes to spread panic) already warns about a possible summer wave due to the virus spreading so easily, and pleads for federal states to prepare the legal possibilities so that additional measurements such as contact limits and restrictions for indoor activiities could be implemented quickly.

[theMathematician]

With 'cinemas', do you mean going in and out or also in the room where you sit to watch the movie? In my country, you don't have to wear the mask while watching the movie but before entering and after leaving the room.
