D&D and the rising pandemic

[Hussar]

Well, Japan just cut all visas now. No one enters the country. Full stop.

Sheesh. We have apparently had an Omicron case - apparently a diplomat from Namibia who had had both of his shots.

On the plus side, we've had a full week of under 100 new daily cases nationwide.

My trust in our government plummeted through the ground...

I didn't have any faith in yours to begin with no offense intended. It's a very small list of those I do trust. Taiwan, some SEA, some Scandinavian places, various
Pacific micronations. Australia and Canada to some extent. That's almost it.

I suppose I had assumptions about self interest preventing some of the idiocy... but nope.

I read a lot of history. I often wondered why some places (eg Rome, Byzantines, Assyrian, Sassanids) fell apart when basic self preservation should have prevented it.

Now I understand.

At least this new variant has a cool theme song.

Also, I suggest instead of Transformers names, we name any new variants after Resident Evil boss monsters.

I await the Nemesis variant.

Nemesis is also a MtG setting.

Oh, everyone's acting in their self-interest. However, what we need is people acting in enlightened self-interest, which is not the same thing.

Got my vaccine passport today. Took around 5 minutes on the phone.
Basically had to enter birth certificate details which is linked to my medical records. Downloads an app to your phone or you can print it off.

Hospitality type jobs have to have all staff vaccinated and check the passport of only do contactless takeaways.

2 places at least in my province have closed and ones going with contactless.

Rules are changing tomorrow. Local council requires the passports for facilities so with summer coming up that includes pools, museums, stadium, etc.

Also applies for the great outdoors.

People will need to be fully vaccinated to book Doc huts, campsites

People will need to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 to be able to stay in Department of Conservation huts and campsites from 15 December. This...

The European Union is FINALLY considering making vaccination mandatory!

So.

Many.

Lives.

That would have been saved if this was done nine months ago...

In other words, yes, you have a right to be a selfish idiot.

But not when it kills the people around you and brings medical services to it's knees.

It's actually against the law here to make it mandatory. Rates are creeping up around 90% and they can do a lot of arm twisting.
