My chest regularly feels like i have a two year old sitting on me. I took my horse to a cross country clinic for a weekend and rode the two days max 1.5 hours at a time with lots of sitting around and chatting in that timeframe. It took me a week to recover.

I would take all the boosters and all the shots to avoid this. I am hoping it gets better at some point.

I hope this all improves soon. Dreadful all round. Some folks remain clearly in denial of just how serious this virus remains. I see that from the NZ posts on BE.

Singapore is planning to stop paying for the hospital treatment of the unvaccinated. The risk of financial hardship amongst the anti-vaxers would focus a few of the confused minds.

I'm a bit sick of the brand of protester who decides that what they believe trumps every right of everybody else.

We have one of those in Perth, a young woman who regularly parades around in her undies, or less, abusing people who aren't vegan. She happily carries a real pig's head dripping blood into supermarkets, carries signs such as 'ARE YOU A VEGAN OR A LITTLE BITCH?', and in her most disgusting farce yet, screamed abuse at people in a Louis Vuitton shop while 'dressed' in nothing but a g-string, with blood smeared all over the rest of her. The last line needs to be in a spoiler to avoid a group vomit.
Spoiler:
It was real blood and it was hers - I'll leave it there





ps she keeps getting arrested and fined, but she says that doesn't bother her because she makes $40,000 a month on Just Fans/Fans Only/Pervert Central - I don't know what it's bloody called

Social media clearly empowers these fringe protestors. Whatever nonsense they get up, they can be sure to update their social profiles and often make a pathetic poorly attended demo/stunt out to be much more than it was.

Maybe we can send over some of our Insulate Britain nuts to glue pig-head-woman to a busy road or something.

You can pretty much look at the vaccination rate by area of BC and point out the right leaning vs left leaning areas just by that.

Eastern Fraser Valley is religious conservative, but Kelowna is like Trump level conservative, conspiracy level stuff.

The NE corner of BC is basically Alberta in BC.

For making 40k a month, you'd think she would have a nicer car.
