cheapthrills : Yeah, theoretically you've got that right. I just noticed that during the past couple of years, which means including pre-Covid years, there's been such a polarization going on in our Western societies, that the goal should be to unite (despite our differences) instead of separation. I blame social media for creating those social bubbles, to be honest. I work with both, unvaccinated and vaccinated people, and respect their individual choices.
Airwrecka : The goal of this whole vaccination process was to help us as a society return to normality, which includes social gathering in education, work, private meetings outdoor and indoor in smaller and bigger groups. With some people still struggling to do all of this, it's got me wondering what else must happen before they return to normality knowing that the virus won't leave.
In my family, I've got members with problems as well. They don't want to receive help though and I've learned that it leads nowhere to force your views on them. So if they want help, they will get it. Until then, they need to live with their problems and the consequences that may grow out of them.Saying that you don't know what to answer? That's fine.

COVID: Vaccinated people in Germany may get more rights
Soon, a trip to the movies, the theater or a restaurant may require proof of vaccination. At least that’s what German Health Minister Jens Spahn wants!
"Masks and tests alone have to make it possible to do essential things, like ride public transport, or visit the hospital or town hall," Spahn told Münchener Merkur newspaper. "But for discos, stadiums or theaters, which aren't essential, I can only imagine needing to be vaccinated or tested to get in."" And i think you should take a second just to look at your reflection
Baby maybe you're the problem "

I wish this man all the best for his recovery.
However, it needs to be added that while heavy cases do happen, they happen rarely. Regarding the vaccination: He voluntarily decided against it, which may come with consequences. On the other side, the vaccination itself may cause severe side effects in very rare cases as well. He might regret his decision, but that's the case with many issues in our daily life (e.g. smoking, tanning, hair bleaching, risky driving,...).Saying that you don't know what to answer? That's fine.

The German government is considering to extend the epidemic situation, which is obligatory to announce restrictions of the basic law, once again although the Chancellary minister announced back in March 2021 that once everyone received the option to get vaccinated, there is no more base to justidy restrictions of basic laws. England and Denmark already discontinued mandatory Covid measurements (source).Saying that you don't know what to answer? That's fine.

What a mess: Schleswig-Holstein is Germany's hotspot state and its city Flensburg the hotspot region.
Guess sooner or later, the regions who used to well in the overall ranking will be hotspots someday - and vice versa.Saying that you don't know what to answer? That's fine.

To be honest, I think the media frequently misrepresent how a vaccine works. Contrary to how it’s portrayed, it isn’t some special shield that engulfs the recipient in an invisible, protective bubble. It simply provides your immune system with the “resources” (antibodies) to more effectively “fight” it. There’s also some suggestion that it can reduce transmissibility, but it doesn’t prevent it altogether. Should you come into contact with the virus, your body still has to fight it - that doesn’t change. The significantly higher chance of success is where the “protection” lies."

Looking solely at the incidence rate will become a thing of the past soon anyway. I mean look at Denmark, the UK, Sweden or the Netherlands: Those countries have got much higher incidence rates than Germany and far less restrictions. Even scientists say that the vaccination is doing its job by limiting it infections to mild cases, and knowing that the virus won't leave, this is the most we can expect if we want to return to normality.
So yeah, incidence rates will of course increase in fall, but it will be nothing to worry about because it will mostly affect children who, scientifically proven, almost always experience mild to asymptomatic cases.Saying that you don't know what to answer? That's fine.

In fall, you may need a negative test to do a bunch of things if you're not vaccinated. And what did I just read?:
You guys know that I've always been anti-measurements, and that I would've rather rewarded the vaccinated people instead of punishing/excluding the unvaccinated ones. But if anti-vaccinators really want to exclude themselves from public life in order to make a point, does society really benefit from that? It's not just that people limit themselves in their opportunities, they also harm businesses who depend on income.
And always the killer argument 'If there's just a tiny bit that irks me, I'll instantly move to the online version.'. I'm usually pro freedom of choice, so that may be a bit inconsequent on my side, but I would support higher taxes for online shopping in order to establish equal chances between online and physical shopping. So yeah, I don't know about you, but if I ran a store, I would everyone who respects my store, my products and my staff to shop there instead of creeping away at home.Saying that you don't know what to answer?

Sorry, forgot the important part:
- From August 23 on: People need a negative test, vaccination or recovery paper to have access to a bunch of non-essential (restaurants, fitness centers, barber shop, etc.) and essential (nursery homes and hospitals) parts of public life.
- From October 11 on: Tests will no longer be free.
- Merkel guaranteed that there will be no more lockdown for vaccinated and recovered people.
- The measurements will be discontinued when the incidence rate is below 35 (Yeah, they still go by the incidence rate because they couldn't come up with a new plan, but apparently, they are working on it.).Saying that you don't know what to answer? That's fine.

Germany to end free Covid tests to boost jab take-up
Germany will end free coronavirus tests in October, regional leaders and the federal government has agreed, in a push to incentivise more people to get vaccinated.
Covid-19 tests or proof of vaccination or recovery will be required to access facilities including restaurants, cinemas and gyms, in areas where the infection rate is high.
From October those who refuse to get jabbed will have to pay to prove they are infection-free, or risk being shut out.
Proof of test or vaccination will be required as soon as the rate of infections in a region reaches 35 per 100,000 people over seven days.
Children and people who for health reasons cannot be vaccinated will still be able to get tested for free." And i think you should take a second just to look at your reflection

Chef’s parents and brother die from Covid within week after jab refusal
A man from Cardiff has claimed he lost his mother, father and brother from Covid within a week because all three had chosen not to be jabbed after they were frightened by misinformation from anti-vaxxers.
Francis Goncalves, a chef, said he believed that his father, Basil, 73, contracted Covid while in hospital and his mother, Charmagne, 65, and brother Shaul, 40, picked it up at a family dinner.
He said all three, who were living in Portugal, had turned down the chance to be vaccinated and Goncalves said he hoped sharing his experience may encourage other sceptics to be jabbed.
“They got caught up in a lot of the anti-vaccination propaganda,” he said. “It preys on people who are afraid and they fall into the trap. The message I want to get out is why would the government want to hurt you by giving you a vaccine? What is the purpose behind it? I’ve spoken to so many people who are terrified of the vaccine and it costs lives.”" And i think you should take a second just to look at your reflection

Delta variant renders herd immunity from Covid ‘mythical’
Head of Oxford Vaccine Group rules out overall immunity, but also questions need for booster jabs
Reaching herd immunity is “not a possibility” with the current Delta variant, the head of the Oxford Vaccine Group has said.
Giving evidence to MPs on Tuesday, Prof Sir Andrew Pollard said the fact that vaccines did not stop the spread of Covid meant reaching the threshold for overall immunity in the population was “mythical”.
“The problem with this virus is [it is] not measles. If 95% of people were vaccinated against measles, the virus cannot transmit in the population,” he told the all-party parliamentary group (APPG) on coronavirus.
“The Delta variant will still infect people who have been vaccinated. And that does mean that anyone who’s still unvaccinated at some point will meet the virus … and we don’t have anything that will [completely] stop that transmission.”
Although the existing vaccines are very effective at preventing serious Covid illness and death, they do not stop a fully vaccinated person from being infected by the virus that causes Covid-19.
So much for herd immunity ! This Delta variant has really changed the game.

With herd immunity being impossible, more and more countries will have to accept that the path the UK or Sweden have chosen is the only right one: Vaccinating the vulnerable groups and then learn to live a normal life with the virus being around. As Australia proved: ZeroCovid doesn't work and you can't announce a lockdown every time there is a case somewhere.Last edited by theMathematician; Wed August 11, 2021, 14:46.Saying that you don't know what to answer?
