Idk if it's like this in europe but the US government and healthcare system is in 0 place to be trusted because, and pretending they know what they're doing when they clearly don't isn't helping anyone. There's 175 billion dollars on the table for hospitals 'on the frontline of corona' and suddenly nobody has any other medical condition except corona and has to be tested like 5 times if that's not what's going on 'just to make sure'.

Yep

because of so many hospital beds being taken up by COVID or possible cases of COVID some other care has been put on the back burner, like tumor monitoring. a colleague of mine fainted in class in February. turned out it was a brain tumor. they were monitoring it and she was supposed to go in for surgery late March. but then the first lockdown happened round here and so many people were in the hospital due to COVID that other treatments and monitoring were ALL ( and I do mean all) postponed, throughout the country. when my colleague went in for surgery mid May the tumor had grown too large and part of the healthy brain was hit during surgery. coma of various weeks, learning to eat, walk and talk again. this week she sent her first e-mail, can walk again but has equilibrium problems and can only eat when being supervised, gels and drinks only. damn.

It’s nuts. And the politicians and media people have been placing the blame of this situation on “the people” because we don’t follow their rules.(at least over here).

Which is a lie, I see everyone masked up and really what else can you do?

They are the ones that made these insane decisions that led to these things, not us.

Politicians here have been “blaming the people” here as well but they’ve been scoring free kicks by blaming “young people not following rules” which are rules that don’t exist btw oh and when covid first popped off something like 20% of all cases in Australia were directly linked to an infectious cruise ship being allowed to disembark in Sydney and passengers walking around the city and going to other parts of the country, all the governments doing btw because allegedly someone close to a minister was on board that ship. I believe at the time every case in Tasmania was from 1 person off that cruise ship.

But it’s “the people” causing this btw it’s the fucking flu nobody in any country takes a cold or flu seriously

Right. Flu cases are supposedly non existent right now, and they say probably because of masks and social distancing.

But covid cases are skyrocketing? So masks and social distancing works for the flu but not covid?

Or, most likely, flus and pneumonia’s are being counted as COVID, the same way my girls double pneumonia was counted as a covid case two months ago.

More covid more Money.

The FDA just approved Pfizer's vaccine. Medical professionals, the elderly, and people over 60 yrs old will be able to get vaccinated in weeks.

What Covid has done is expose how inept some governments are.

England came out of Lockdown 2 in early december, Covid cases stabilized a bit but now they have jumped back up, especially in London. The reason is they encouraged people to shop. London's streets, shopping centres were absolutely packed in the past 2 weeks. This weeks it's been madness in London as people are dong their crazy Christmas shopping. The Government encouraged this though. They wanted people to shop and well thats what they did. On top the day we came out of lockdown they announced they would start vaccinating people. This caused everyone to relax a little. Then they said "It would take until March-April to properly vaccinate a large chunk of the population".

They won't even close schools in London. They have this dumb tier system which doesn't mean anything. London will be tier 3 from Wednesday but like nothing changes. They fail to see that it's high school kids who are the ones mainly distributing the virus. Death numbers aren't that high anymore, Englands issue is hospitals. For the past 15 years they kept defunding the NHS and that's left the country low on facilities, doctors and nurses. A good chunk of nurses here are immigrants for example.

its weird that ppl are still pitching conspiracies about it because this proved that all governments are just deeply incompetent uncoordinated people.
