Ha, is the above what "Might just sit this one out" means?

Is the "7pm curfew" the 8pm bars and restaurants closing time? I can't find 7pm mentioned anywhere? Or mention of a curfew in the Netherlands.

In light of an only 65% vaccination rate, Austria becomes the first European nation to wholly remove all notion of freedom from individual choice to be vaccinated:
Quote"In reality we have told one third of the population: you will not leave your apartment anymore apart from for certain reasons. That is a massive reduction in contacts between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated," [Chancellor] Schallenberg said.

No longer an option to present a negative test. Vaccinated or locked down. Can't help finding it interesting that it's one of Western Europe's most right leaning governments, given that the excesses of COVID measures are usually pegged as being part of some leftist intrigue.

7pm https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2021/11/the-netherlands-faces-three-weeks-of-partial-lockdown-cafes-to-close-at-7pm/

And this one mentions a curfew in place in the headline https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10199603/Streets-Netherlands-deserted-curfew-comes-in.html

I looked them up there just now. My previous comment referred to an article I read yesterday morning that mentioned a 7pm curfew.
It would appear that "curfew" is the incorrect term to use in this case, I don't think there is a ban on people being outside. There is a restriction in place for non-essential services to close at 8pm.

That's pretty shit, surely a negative test, or better yet a recent proof of recovery should trump a vaccine cert?

What would happen if everybody got the injection and the cases/hospitalizations still manage to rise past breaking point. Who would the government blame if there were no more unvaccinated people to point the finger at?


See where it says "brain injury charitable foundation" on the side of the bus there?? Traumatic brain injury has always been one of the most common reasons children end up in hospital. I have colleagues who work on TBI, but since they've only published post-2020 I'll sidestep the bullshit response your own brain is already preparing to fart out and go to research from a few years earlier, 2017:

https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/STROKEAHA.117.017327

QuoteTraumatic brain injury (TBI) leads to nearly 300 000 annual US hospitalizations and increased lifetime risk of acute ischemic stroke (AIS)
...
Vigilance for AIS is warranted acutely after TBI, particularly after high-velocity events.

Did you even think to look up the website clearly printed there??
https://www.achievingbeyondbraininjury.com/our-inspiration

Not convinced? How about one of those kid's own personal website, set up in 2015? All part of the "preparation" too?
https://www.iloveyourbrain.com/

At some point, the mildest level of self-reflection should have you realize that all your sources of information are bullshit, no matter what the subject is. People like you, too lazy to do even the minimum amount of personal verification, are exhausting humanity. You have to feel sorry for those two mothers, who set up a charity so that dealing with stroke would be easier on future parents than it was for them, now just having their good works turned into scutter by mean-spirited eejits like you.

Seems like they don't care if you're healthy or not, just if you're vaccinated or not. Conspiracy theorists will be having a ball now.

Croatian lad saying 'having a ball' 😂Amazing :)

I got several thumbs up and even more questions when I shouted 'Kosovo je Srbija' at a Red Star basketball game in my thick Kilkenny accent :)

Incredibly frightening however if other countries follow this process it will be truely terrifying. I feel for those in Austria who cannot get vaccinated for health reasons.

Most of the conspiracies have come true. 


The flu vaccine doesn't stop you getting the flu. It just lessons the effect of the flu. Same as the Covid vaccine. Look the whole thing is a shit show. But the vaccine has worked in reducing the number of deaths. Significantly. Whatever noise is generated about vaccinated and unvaccinated at least the primary reason for the vaccine worked. There's families that will still have loved ones to see this Christmas because of the vaccine and that's a good thing.

As I understand it, the cases have gone through the roof in Ireland but the hospitalizations have remained at a sustainable level. I think that keeping pressure off the hospitals was the aim all along and hopefully things can remain open regardless of the number of non-serious cases. Whatever about the predictable left/ right horseshite divide going on, having society go back to normal is all that really matters.

I have no clue, man......I'm just using different expressions I've heard in different places over time. I've learned English watching USA movies mostly. And am sure to be using all the expressions people have mentioned in the pet peevee thread.
I've listened to a lot of Misfits lately, could have used having a blast as well. It's all the same crap to me  :)
Kosovo je Srbija have become almost like an audio version of a meme to people in the neighboring countries to Serbia  :)
