Even though our restrictions have been relatively easy compared to other countries, it's taking it's toll on the people.We got really well through the first two waves here, might actually more fitting to call them "splashes" rather than waves only for the third one to become our first "real" wave.And our government is continuously moving the goal post.We finally (mostly) left the "4-6 weeks November lockdown to break the third wave" in !May!It was originally sold to the public as meassure to "save christmas", obviously people got more and more disgruntled with it still not being lifted at Easter and beyondAs far as goals went it was at first to prevent collapse of health care system. After this was clearly averted it became to get the incidence under 50. Once this was reached it suddenly became to get it under 35. Now that we're way below 10 it's all about reaching heard immunity through vaccination rate. This started to be communicated with a goal of getting 70% vaccinated. Now Delta is being cited as why this goal has to be moved to 85% instead. Unfortunately 85% may very well be impossible with our local anti-vacc crackheads and now people are doubly unhappy because they fear here's no chance of it ever being reached.And we actually have election year BTW, so all parties are already having a nervous eye toward end of September. So we're seeing more and more restrictions lifted despite the newest goals not being reached.Still people and a growing number of politicians, are demading a total end of all remaining restrictions as soon as everybody received at least an offer for vaccination. Whoever didn't take it just has to live with the risks and those who just could not get one have to hope that we have enough of a heard immunity by then.Those demands started from the right wing parties, but are now also repeated from central parties too</blockquote>
