Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

As always, do things (including fucking in FKKs) in some moderation and you'll live longer and happier. Any addiction (driving 1800 kms from Paris to fuck some FKK WG), including being addicted to sports for an dopamine rush, is never a good thing.

We agree on this, moderation is good in everything. That guy had definitely too much stress in his life. Two kids, very expensive wife (but smoking hot), very stressful job, plus all the hours he was training.

How did China bring Covid under control? Super hard lockdown. Would that be the solution you propose, EU wide super hard lockdown? That would fly in a non totalitarian state like a lead balloon.

China will not do mass vaccinations?

"Now Beijing is shifting gears, aiming to inoculate 40% of its 1. 4 billion people by the end of June. " I would argue that sounds like mass vaccination.

China will no do a vaccine passport? "China unveiled a vaccine passport this month that could be accessed through WeChat".

Sorry but I have a lot of friends in China, I can speak Chinese, have a Chinese driving license. I am spending several hours per day on Wechat with Chinese people may be I am better informed that many so called journalists. What is better 1 hard lockdown for 6 weeks and after that life back to normal, economy is booming or several lockdowns like in Europe and life not coming back to normal even 1 year after. I would from far prefer the Chinese solution. When the countries are succeeding we always find a lot of counter example it is not a democracy. For sure the US and Europe usually 2 parties are leading the countries for the last 50 years give a very good example of democracy, like in France a very good example of the democracy 30% of the voters for FN of Marine LE Pen more or less no representatives despite having the highest voters.

Count on the middle of April, at the earliest.

'Not before the middle of April' and this has now been more or less rounded up to the 19th of April, see link below:

https://www.rtl.de/cms/corona-impfun...t-4721017.html

Today is the 21st, so roughly speaking this will only start 1 month from now.

As I said before: Germans couldn't organize a drinking party in a brewery.

I totally agree that EU fucked up vaccine procurement. US hogged Pfizer and Moderna production, UK hogged AZ. Israel got all the vaccine they wanted because they paid more than anybody else per dose, and they give to Pfizer all the data that was asked. That data sharing agreement would be a tall mountain to achieve in the EU.

Please tell this to my buddy, 42 years old, sub 12 h ironman finisher, multiple marathons, half marathons and 10 k runs, was training for the Great Divide race 4900 km, did several grand fondos, then every winter ski touring.

He is now doing Reha for 4 month and still has to stop to catch up his breath going up a flight of stairs. Sure he is not a typical case, but see one case like this with your own eyes and maybe you don't just think, who cares if somebody's grandma is dead, she should have gone easier on the cake.

More proof that extreme sportsmen are not 'healthy?' I've heard this before, extremely fit endurance athletes having serious struggles with Covid19 and taking months to recover. The again, I also frequently hear of these "he-runs-marathons-he-never-drinks-never-smokes-how-could-this-happen?" 'healthy' athletes dying at an early age due to heart attacks, strokes or cancer.

As always, do things (including fucking in FKKs) in some moderation and you'll live longer and happier. Any addiction (driving 1800 kms from Paris to fuck some FKK WG), including being addicted to sports for an dopamine rush, is never a good thing.

That's why many religions and cultures have a fasting tradition (moderation and self-cleansing), and that's why in many parts of this world "irrational exuberance" (Alan Greenspan) is frowned upon.

Except of course in the US and UK, where "Big is Beautiful" and the Anglo-Saxon culture worships huge unnatural silicone tits, big plastic fuel-guzzling cars, big aircraft carriers and big armies ruining dozens of countries, financial exuberance on Wall Street, and supersize-me fast food meals with half a Gallon of sugary 'soft' drinks.

Bigger is not always better, and the same goes for extremist nutcases who run '4900 km Great Divide' marathons, or people who step into an MMA octagon and beat the shit out of each other.

P.S. I have tremendous respect for the willpower and physical capability to do those extreme sports, but as the Covid19 cases illustrate, it is not healthy in the long run.

... I think we was in grupetto on col de Loze at 5/6 km / h on steepest, and just for green suit and trying to win on Champs Elysees. ...

I'll explain for you how the grupetto works. People who don't care on that particular stage how they place, do as little effort as possible, just enough to not miss the time cut. They save energy for the future stages. So there are oodles of amateurs who went faster than the grupetto on some climb. What those amateurs need to understand is that A) they don't do 21 stages in 3 weeks B) they don't do the full stage before that particular climb and C) any of the pros could still go much faster if they have to and smoke the wannabees.

Just because he was in the grupetto on some stage, does not mean he can't go harder if he wants to.

Did Marc Madiot call you already? He could use a rider who is stronger than Sagan, assuming you don't want salary close to what Sagan makes (EUR 5.5 millions).

If you compare the curbs from Israel and UK of 2020 with the one of 2021 you will see that the decrease was stronger and faster without vaccine, so we need to wait and the scientifics have to study the things. The problem is not the vaccine or the passport, if in the coming months many vaccinated people get sick it will be game over for the passport. China economy is booming, covid is under control, there is no mass vaccination and no passport, may be we should start to look about the best performers and not about US and UK which are extremely poor performers in the battle against covid.

Once enough doses are available, they have to supply any Hausarzt, pharmacy, etc with vaccines.

Count on the middle of April, at the earliest.

Nach einer Empfehlung der Gesundheitsminister von Bund und Ländern sollen Impfungen in Praxen "frühestmöglich", aber spätestens in der Woche vom 19. April starten.

Today is the 21st, so roughly speaking this will only start 1 month from now.

As I said before: Germans couldn't organize a drinking party in a brewery.

Yes, and the alternative would have been much easier: allow young and healthy people to build herd immunity (could have been achieved by summer last year, because a virus will quickly 'burn itself out' if it can not find anymore hosts), whilst temporarily isolating the elderly and obese people at risk.

This is what a lot of scientists were advocating, but those scientists have all been censored in the MSM, and on YuTube, Twatter and Shitbook and we could have been fucking hotties in Sharks today with only 50 Euros entry fee before 14:00.

Please tell me again how herd immunity was already achieved in Sweden last summer.

[Canary]

and UK is pushing 40% with first jab.

Actually the UK has vaccinated over 50% of the population.

[Chongmal]

I see now that Delta and Qantas have announced that they will require vaccines for passengers on flights. I think we are on the way to seeing the requirement to prove vaccine history for non Schengen countries to arrive near a Sauna Club.

[HammerTime96]

Before speaking about vaccine passport, I think first we have to evaluate the efficiency of the different vaccines (some medical staff even vaccinated got the covid) and second how will the vaccine works against the new variants and how long the vaccine are efficient, 6 months, 12 months. We can imagine to vaccinated the entire population every 6 months or each time a new variant pop up. Let us see what will happen in Israel in the coming months before taking any conclusions.

Spot on.

Take a look at this interview of Geert vanden Bossche: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJZxiNxYLpc.

He's a vaccine expert (PhD in virology), has helped develop lots of vaccines, worked for lots of pharmaceutical companies, was head of GAVI (the vaccine foundation from Bill and Melinda Gates) and he is now WARNING that the current vaccination strategy is madness.

In case YuTube deletes it, here is another link on BitChute: https://www.bitchute.com/video/BNmUyioaAETO/.

Dr Geert vanden Bossche's impressive resume:

Vanden Bossche received his DVM from the University of Ghent, Belgium, and his PhD degree in Virology from the University of Hohenheim, Germany. He held adjunct faculty appointments at universities in Belgium and Germany. After his career in Academia, Geert joined several vaccine companies (GSK Biologicals, Novartis Vaccines, Solvay Biologicals) to serve various roles in vaccine R&D as well as in late vaccine development. Geert then moved on to join the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s GH Discovery team as SPO and later on to work with GAVI as Senior Ebola Program Manager; he subsequently joined the German Center for Infection Research as Head of the Vaccine Development Office. Geert is now primarily serving as a Biotech/ Vaccine consultant while also conducting his own research on NK cell-based vaccines. His work is driven by a relentless passion to translate scientific breakthrough findings into competitive vaccine products. As a creative thinker, innovator, entrepreneur and visionary, Geert has been invited to speak at multiple international congresses.

I don't think anybody made any mutation, just from location where started, but UK spread a lot, making trip, making clusters in some ski resorts, when they knew about, and killing Western continental Europe where they travelled even knowing. When their mutant spread and kill 60% more, I wonder how many deaths from UK mutant, when we know what happened in Portugal, and now in Italy or France where more than 50% new cases are mutant, mostly UK, Germany and Spain preferring to protect versus UK, must be a reason when not helping business.

They made clusters in ski resorts because we let them enter the country, try to make a cluster in China? Each country can close the borders but business is more important than health like for many fucking prostitutes in covid times is more important than to stay safe at home.

[ExpatLover]

Well, we will probably start to see the efficiency of vaccines in a few months, whieverway. Israel is far into it, and UK is pushing 40% with first jab. That will start to reflect in the number of people getting real sick and hospitalized from this damn thing. Once that happens (and hopefully in a good way), maybe we can start seeing countries getting affected more like a normal flu, and stop talking about wave 3, 4, 5 and whatever. And get on with our lives.

But there seem to be a real push from EU and many countries to make corona passport a reality, some to save the tourism industry. Same already have printed versions, and common smarphone apps are in the making.

The passport seem intended for flying, fetstivals, concerts, nightclubs etc where many pepole are in one place or close proximity. Thus it would be obvious to let FKKs open in the same way. EU comission want it ready before summer.

If you compare the curbs from Israel and UK of 2020 with the one of 2021 you will see that the decrease was stronger and faster without vaccine, so we need to wait and the scientifics have to study the things. The problem is not the vaccine or the passport, if in the coming months many vaccinated people get sick it will be game over for the passport. China economy is booming, covid is under control, there is no mass vaccination and no passport, may be we should start to look about the best performers and not about US and UK which are extremely poor performers in the battle against covid.

If now we believe WHO I am afraid we are going to face strong nightmares. The situation is just terrible in many countries in Europe, we all know that 50% of the dead are obese and the most of the other 50% have very limited life expectancy (less than 1 year), I can also go more in details about ethnicity, social class. But all this is just unacceptable for a waste majority of people, milked with twitter, Facebook, CNN.

Yes, and the alternative would have been much easier: allow young and healthy people to build herd immunity (could have been achieved by summer last year, because a virus will quickly 'burn itself out' if it can not find anymore hosts), whilst temporarily isolating the elderly and obese people at risk.

Disheartening, as it didn't have to be that way. I incorrectly expected cases in continental Europe to somewhat follow the UK path, but the problems with vaccine rollout is entirely disappointing while unnecessarily prolonging the restrictions.

That's because you sit in your ER in Southern US playing George Clooney, and you're clueless about how Europe 'works' and clueless about how incompetent Germany and Merkel really are.

As I've frequently said, the EU couldn't organise a binge-drinking party in a brewery, and the EU is a larger copy of Germany, completely dominated by Germany. Smaller, smarte solutions are better, but the EU treats every problem with the same 'efficiency' as the communist USSR, hence the nickname EUSSR.

Anyway, as I predicted, the EU politicians fucked up everything: lockdowns, vaccine rollout, bankrupting the entire economy. Inevitably the 'virus' will mutate and the 'vaccine' will be useless: hence lockdowns forever.

I don't dispute your argument. - Yet I am sure that your numbers are also considered.

No, they do NOT consider 'my' numbers. Read German media, and you'll see that they ONLY focus on the Inzidenz Value, the way a bull focuses on a red flag.

If CV19 is truly going away, increasing tests should result in a lower daily positive rate. Germany is back at where it was in late-October: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/p...ountry=DEU~GBR.

No.

Imagine you have a fictional city of exactly 100 k inhabitants. Also imagine that you do 100% testing of al citizens, an extreme and unrealistic scenario, but this exaggeration is just to illustrate my point. Also assume that the PC test generates 1% false positive results. You automatically get an "Inzidenzwert" of 1000 per 100000 inhabitants!

To make things even more stupid, I'll give you an example from the Berlin suburb of Kleinmachnow: https://coronatest-tks.de.

Notice how it says: "Getestet werden nur gesunde, symptomfreie Personen."

Translation: they are only testing healthy people without symptoms! Hahahahaha! So a fixed Incident Value of 35 + testing hundreds of thousands of healthy people without any symptoms + an x% of false positives = a Incident Value permanently 35.

This is basic math, but most German 'scientists' advising Merkel, and the German media don't seem to get this. Or is this all done on purpose? I'm not a big fan of conspiracies, but such sheer level of stupidity + banning-blocking-censoring any scientist that disagrees with Merkel's absolutely lunatic policies can no longer be a coincidence.
