Safe from... what? They don't care about other infectious diseases, but suddenly this is a bridge too far...? I guess you'll be cool with flu season lockdowns when that rolls around next, huh?
uhm I don't know, like people dying?
I still have lot of friends and family in Europe. Lot of them got covid earlier this year.
A relative (a male in early forties) has been in intensive care for almost 4 months and is likely going to die. Several friends of the same age as me are still recovering 2-3 months later.
I work in IT and lot of our support teams are based out of India - I hear almost weekly that someone lost a relative. Seasonal flu does not do this.
If that is not good enough reason to get vaccinated and wear a mask, I don't know what is.
Look, to be honest I don't like the restrictions either and I think government should push much harder for people to get vaccinated.
And those who choose not to, well you make your own choices but you should understand the risk and bear the consequences.
