Yes hard lockdowns have been proven to work globally. Authorities keep doing same stuff over and over again with predictable results. Poor us the plebs.

Fox is really to blame for all the vax hesitancy? That seems like a stretch

He can weather the storm for a few years andnthe come back as Da Toddler.......

His fabulous musicality and creativity will be missed

We need more restrictions and mandates and mutual fear and loathing. They have been proven to work over the last 18 months

US politics is ridiculous. The US economy is on a knife edge. More money printing and spending on non-productive issues is ruinous. And ultimately this type of moratorium causes more damage than it solves. Poor tenants. More homelessness on the way.

Very diverse group of athletes......

This is gonna be a blockbuster!

His poor family keep seeing his fizzog in the press with a selection of other women.

Low unemployment has been consistent over the lost decades.

Saying that vaccinated people can still spread the infection is a non-argument against the very likely possibility that this is reduced for them. Unless of course you can bring scientific evidence of no differences in transmissibility between vaccinated and unvaccinated people.

I think there have been several datasets out of Israel and UK that indicate roughly same levels of in fection, viral load and transmission between the 2.

Swem meisie swem.

The problem is not that people dont abide by the rules. The problem is that we can never totally lock a city down, some people always have to go out for work/services/food etc. and so lockdowns are always only partial and therefore always only partially effective.

Should have worn a mask.

Not sure lockdown easing has anything to do with it. Just people have money to burn as a consequence of lockdowns and government money around the world

Stick to good old traditional tobacco. Or take up smoking weed - way less restrictions on that in many countries

About time... Especially all those federally employed health professionals whomhave so far been vaccine hesitant

Masks have been proven to work all over the world

Most coveted medal in the whole games

Even if the employee has had Covid and recovered? Makes little medical sense. Any one who has high antibody ir Tcell count should be exempted.

Same playbook that has already been proven to be pure fiction.

We will still be below where we were pre-pandemic. In the meantime asset prices are in a bubble due to the trillions of dollars central banks around the world have printed. I fear this doesnt end well.

Whatever one thinks of ;partial lockdowns as an effective virus control measure, the fact that bars and restaurants are especially restricted is neither logical nor fair on them

Netflix really is scraping the barrel. A live Pokemon sounds pretty dire.

Because China.

Poor Indonesia. Rolling "spikes" around SE Asia are really hurting the poorest people.

This is our future. Sad fact is that the vaccines versus continually evolving variants is no contest. Vaccines provide some protection and reduce symptoms but cannot prevent ongoing spread of the virus. Similar to the annual flu cycle.

Eventually lockdown and mask mania will be overtaken by the basic social and economic facts.

My guess is that we will never entirely escape restrictions though.

Buy copper and silver.

Give us back our Hoppo Ryodo.

Bet you Orange supported this

Bet you Orange had a hand in this and is ecstatic.
