They have banned in Holland selling fireworks for New Year, but you hear illegal fireworks all over town lol.

A New Covid-19 strain is spreading faster In the UK but also here in the Netherlands.

Very well said. I am never ever taking the vaccine. Don't believe anything that comes from Fauci or those so called "experts". I've never worn masks and I never will. I still hug everyone and cough as I please whenever I'm out and about.

Virus is NOT real

They started giving them out at work. Here's my problem: I've been taking care of these patients since the beginning with the bare minimum supplies. I've earned this thing. I don't want it and refuse to get the vaccine. But, I have older relatives and friends that want it. Why can't those who are on the "front line" give theirs away? The older people should get it first, they're the ones most susceptible. And why the Hell aren't we putting China on fire for starting this shit. Instead, everyone blames TRUMP. Fucking mutts.

Because it's Trump's fault, didn't you know? CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, etc. all told me so. And they'd never lie to me...right?

LMFAO

Wow, Cuomo and New York continue to lower the bar. They're going to vote on legislation that'll allow the state to forcibly round people up and place them in "COVID camps"

Major riots in many cities here against the curfew and other corona measures. That happens if there is no support base among the people and mayors banned legitimate protests!

There's riots here too in Seattle but since Trump's out of office, the media (with the exception of Fox) refuses to show it. Not COVID related but more against the government and Biden's administration. However, Biden is putting a travel ban on today for some European nations as well as Brazil.

Deleted--no politics on this board!

Third day of riots and looting the curfew was the final straw for many people, who were already very tired of the lockdown. The political establishment had to be more careful that the cure is not worse than the disease.

I'm not sure if others have but I see no coverage of that in our media? Thanks for the heads up Hollander and stay safe!

I stay home I'm too old now to get involved in this stupid shit, but if I was a youngster I would be on the street protesting a curfew is crazy a thing we would only see in war time and I seriously doubt it really helps to control Covid.
Tuesday night passed relatively peacefully after appeals for calm.

You ain't ever lie.

They're giving the maderna vaccine at my hospital. I refused. The majority of people who received the first dose were sick for a day. The second dose really kicked their ass's. One girl ended up stroking out within an hour. So far three people have died street the second dose in Florida. That's all that's been reported. Good luck.

I'm not planning on getting it either but I hear rumors are airlines are going to make it mandatory. They haven't come out and said it yet but this gives me pause as I travel yearly to New York to visit my family for Christmas as well as I vacation every year so this to me is a concern, but at the same time, I don't want to be forced to take a vaccine I don't want to take because of their rules either.

My wife and I had our first dose of Moderna last week--no ill effects except for sore arms for a couple of days.

That’s great , stay healthy T

Thanks, DP--same to you.

1 million people are vaccinated here, but Holland has 17 million people still a long way to go back to normal life.

AZ got no supply of Moderna last week. Our second Covid shots, which were scheduled for yesterday, were postponed until March 8.

Pfizer wants a third injection that will protect us much better against the new strains.

While studies on the efficacy of vaccines against the delta variant are limited, one recent study indicated that the Pfizer treatment is 84% effective against the variant after two doses, but only 34% effective after a single dose.

Another study, cited by Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, suggests that the Pfizer vaccine is approximately 80% effective against preventing infection from delta, 88% effective at preventing symptomatic disease and 96% effective at preventing hospitalizations caused by the virus.

According to a recent report, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former FDA commissioner, said that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine appears to be approximately 60% effective against the delta variant.

Speaking of New York you guys remember this?

Iceland is experiencing a big surge in cases. What is interesting is that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is the least used vaccine over there, but most of those new cases are with people who got the J&J vaccine

Here we go again. ????
