lastshellyeah, but here people don't care02:53
lastshellsadly also mal informed02:53
de-factoi think soon the cases in USA also will start to rise again02:53
de-factodue to both seasonality and people not caring for containment02:54
de-factopretty much the same here in Germany, as soon as cases began to fall people were wishfully talking about the pandemic being over or such, now cases rise sharply again02:55

de-factobtw i think vaccinations for children can turn out to be quite important, because its the children that potentially can loose the most healthy life years by COVID03:04
de-factowe already are at "warning level" for hospitalizations here, meaning restrictions apply for non-vaccinated03:06
