Honestly, you shouldn't mention rats when talking about a pandemic.
What kind of people would like a quarantine? I am free, I want to move free and I want to feel free.
Perhaps, it's not the most pleasant experience to have in life but it's no reason to be freaking out either. Quarantine is temporary, it lasts up to ten days but here it's usually shorter than that because some time passes before sanitary inspectors get the information about someone's positive test result and the people he/she was in contact with. And the time of quarantine is counted from the day of the last contact. So here it usually lasts 5 or 6 days. It's bearable. Of course, it can be longer if you fall sick.
yet it feels like a totalitarian regime. I do not think it's bearable.
It's those stupid lockdowns, face masks and other limitations imposed on healthy people that feel like a totalitarian regime. Individual isolations and quarantines are justified to me. Temporarily isolating sick people and those who had close contact with them so that they don't spread disease to others seems reasonable to me. When they recover they come back to normal life. Isolation or quarantine doesn't drag for months or years like silly lockdowns/restrictions do.
It's also nothing new. In 1963 we had here epidemic of smallpox in one city. The whole city was locked down with the cordon sanitaire. Nobody could leave it without a vaccine certificate. It was mandatory. Those who refused the vaccine were fined. The sick ones and those who had contact with them were isolated from the rest. But nobody was shutting down the businesses and forbidding people to work.
I We are free people. We have the right to choose.
You're joking, aren't you? Surely, you can't be serious.
Edit : space(the final frontier)
"Moderna Vaccine No Match For Omicron Varient"
"Omicron Spreading Faster Than Any Other Varient"
So 75% of the population is inoculated against a strain it does nothing for.
Once more: IT WILL STOP MUTATING ONLY AFTER THE INHERENT MORTALITY RATE (of 2%) OF THE SPECIES POULATION IS KILLED. NO MATTER THE VACCINE.
This shit is playing Plague Incorporated.
Where's Wolfie and that "organizing principle" because that's all I see. A virus driven to not be eradicated and carry out it's mortality rate objective.
The way I look at it is 100 years ago (with same population) this kills 154,000,000 people. At 5.6 million current deaths it still has a sadistic environmental culling quota to fill. It's the constant natural cycle of purification and renewal being witnessed.
It's just part of human (civilization) history to be globally infected through densely populated contact every 100 years. A side effect of no longer being in evenly dispersed tribal groups, like indigenous people. Who live in such equilibrium the rate of natural occurring disease has no natural medium to propagate in. Or have a need to form immunity to.
If you want to put it in fruity pagan terms. Gaia is alive. She hates the rat people forming colonies that fuck the surrounding environment, so it periodically kills off a bunch of them.
My thoughts... again.
Does it feel like joking to you? If putting people in quarantine like goldfish seems alright, then I'm just joking. Haha.
So passing the virus to others, including vulnerable people, like the old and sick ones, seems all right? I can't picture myself going to work while knowing that I'm sick or had a close contact with a sick person and can make my patients die. It's another thing if you don't know. But if you do, then dunno, I would have some scruples. Besides, covid makes you feel like shit.
Of course there is an immunity, but do not underestimate the danger. What I do not see is any negative effect of the vaccine.
