yeah, I can't understand the decision. the argument was that it will prevent shortages of workers, but if you send out people again that are still infectuous you'll end up with more people in isolation, just for a shorter tiem, so you'll have won nothing. Of course even that is not enough for...

Cases are still soaring high here (incidence at 14d 3400 per 100k). The reaction of our government? Reducing quarantine and isolationi to 5 days. After all, somebody's got to operate these ski lifts and whatnot.

Switzerland's numbers jumped to 30000 daily infections today. Basically, our government seems to hope that early reports of omicron being a lot milder are going to prove true, or we'll be in deep trouble in a few weeks. Hospitals are already full from the last delta wave in nov/dec

We did (luckily just inside switzerland). Got the call on the morning after we arrived :crazyeye: Technically we could have stayed there, but a full wieek with 3 kids in a small holiday flat didn't sound so appealing.

tbh, not that much on the achievement side. Got promoted, but in hindsight I liked my old position better :/

Yay, christmas vacation....Got called yesterday and now the kids (and de facto me too) are in quarantine for the rest of the vacation. Fun.

One good thing about having to vote on the covid law in Switzerland is that it really took the wind out of the sails of the covidiots. Before the vote there were protests multiple times a week with thousands of attending.Naturally they claimed that "we are the people", the gov is fascist, and...

Yeah, we have plenty of those here too. Prior to the vote on the covid passport there were a lot of rallies, and signs about "Impf-Apartheid" (vaccine apartheid) and dictatorship were pretty common there. As well as pictures of Anne Frank and people wearing a david star band on their sleeves...

we can't afford it :mischief: but joking aside, I don't really know. All german speaking countries have very low vaccination rates, with switzerland being still a bit lower than Austria and Germany. Some say it's because homeopathic humbug medicine is pretty popular here, but I'm not sure if...

In Switzerland we reached a new record number of infections last week (roughly 12k) a week ago. The fact that we basically have the lowest vaccination rate of any western country doesn't help either :(

I watched season 1 & 2 now, and I thing I know now what you mean by nutty science....season 1 was at least somewhat theoretically possible...by season 2 it becomes pure fantasy. At least the adult versions of the protagonists are not entirely as annyoing as their kid selves. But I wonder what...

My wife got me to watch the first episodes of The Rain.. After about 10 minutes I wanted to push those kids out in the rain. Problably not gonna watch a lot of it.

And how many would lose their lives in the process?

or, in the words of xkcd:

well, at one point you won't need an insurrection, you simply vote the guy in office that you want. but that obviously didn't work (again), so they fell back to insurrection.,

with all these people resigning, would there even be enough left to invoke the 25th? a) I wasn't aware that the definition of insurrection mentiones numbers anywhere. The numbers only matter for the chance to succeed. But an insurrection can be done by 10 or 10000...doesn't matter b) They don't...

As if the whole rioting wasn't bad enough, it seem I'll have to delete Iced Earth from my playlists :ack:

ummm, yeah, right.

Until today I thought the point of protest is making making your voice heard that you don't like it, but I guess these days it means trying to violently prevent a peaceful transfer of power.
