Re: Coronavirus
I think most of society is at a point where there is very little appetite for increased restrictions or complicated measures now that vaccination is in play, even if numbers are rising and there are still new variants. Public opinion is very different on this then it was this time last year and the government needs to catch up.

Re: Coronavirus
Yep...soo frustrating and i'm glad people are finally starting to see the light on how annoying it is instead of just being like we're in a paandemicccc travel is non-essentialllllll..
Where were you thinking of going? I was thinking of doing the same but rethinking as well...I don't see the point in quarantining for a negative result when they could just do rapid PCR tests on arrival, Canada just chooses not to employ these tests that are available widespread across the US and even Europe.
Hell, i'd happily even PAY for the arrival test if it was processed on the spot and I got the results before I left the airport.

Re: Coronavirus
Latest inthe BBC is saying that increase in the number of cases is what drives up mutations. So when vaccination rates are high then the case rates go up as vaccinated people still carry the Sars virus. Ya just can't win for losin'.

However, those are 'positive tests' - not necessarily people who are ill.. so hopefully isn't as bad as it sounds.
The Ministry of Health said 504 of Friday’s cases involved unvaccinated people, 27 cases involved partially vaccinated people, 442 involved fully vaccinated people and the vaccination status of 58 other cases were not known.

Re: Coronavirus
I'd say, governments and lawmakers should allow fully vaccinated people ( possibly the 3rd shot mandatory and boosters every 6 months or every year ) to travel and roam around freely. No arrive apps, no test, no forms to fill out, to upload, nothing, just the vaccine passport and the QR code and one should be good to go.

That's not going to happen, because vaccinated people can catch Covid and pass it on...... see my post above..

Re: Coronavirus
For the most part, new cases are skewed towards three quaters or two thirds of cases are unvaccinated with the odd day producing more. There still is a clear trend towards unvaccinated contributing to cases still rising, but more importantly the people getting sick/very sick and ending up in hospital are predominantly all unvaccinated.
