And over 90% of the cases in Europe are among the unvaccinated. There is a simple solution for Belgium. Follow the lead of Austria, Germany, France and Italy -- and lockdown the unvaccinated. The Covid cases in Austria have gone into steep decline since instituting a lockdown of the unvaccinated -- showing the effectiveness of this strategy of locking down plague rats. Furthermore let's take a look at breakthrough infections in Belgium Among 6 232 320 fully immunized persons in Belgium, breakthrough infections have been detected so-far in 0.20% But dealing with facts is not your thing.
And this is also what the NPC likes to do - repeat his posts over and over in the hopes you might confuse quality with quantity. Futurecurrents used to do that.
So Vietnam endured a Delta surge this summer (the first surge). And opened up for tourism in November (the recent surge). Context is important.
They need to lockdown the unvaccinated. When Austria locked down the unvaccinated -- the Covid cases went into a steep decline within a week after the lockdown started.
Narrow and simple minded, but that's what I've come to expect from you. No one says that when you force people to stay inside and prohibit them from leaving (house arrest) and other draconian measures such as that you don't see a case decline. You do. Temporarily. And then cases spike back up the moment you lift the draconian measures. The question is whether it is worth it to deprive people from inalienable rights such as freedom of movement, freedom of livelihood, and freedom of the pursuit of happiness. And for what cost? To prevent - temporarily - the spread of a virus that has such a low mortality rate among healthy people that it borders on a serious flu? And then when you open up your lockdowns, you get your cases anyway? Fools such as yourself think that the science is "locking down stops transmission". That's not the science, and its not what the so-called "Neanderthals" disagree with. They disagree that your actions have a worthwhile end and that the end justifies the means. The Neanderthals know better - repeat: know better.
No, it doesn't. At least not in anything but the extreme near term. And there are plenty examples of this. If it worked "very well" then countries with draconian lockdowns would be long past any COVID issues. And all of them, nearly two years into it, are still at the same place they were in the beginning.
