Re: Austria: In some parts of the country, they have run out of intensive care beds – there's going to be a triage situation soon

The same could happen in some parts of Germany.

Germany will most likely introduce the "2G" rule next week. 2G means "Geimpft oder Genesen" = "Vaccinated or Recovered". If you're not vaccinated, you cannot enter restaurants, cinemas, theaters etc. anymore. In super crowded places like nightclubs, there's going to be the "2G+" rule, which means you have to have a fresh negative test in addition to being vaccinated.

The "3G" rule, which allowed unvaccinated people to take part in freetime activities with a negative test, will become obsolete in most places.

We have never had as many cases as we are having right now. Most people think that we all have to go into lockdown mode once again – even though politicians promised that this would never happen again. In the summer, they were all busy with their election campaigns and apparently forgot about Covid.

And of course society is getting more and more divided. Many anti-vaxxers compare the 2G rule to the Holocaust because their rights have been whittled away.

Some people have not gotten to their six months since their second shot, so they should not be boosted yet like myself who got first dose in May and second in June. Also it was less than a week ago that the CDC said it was a good idea for everyone not just high risk who should go first.

This link is paywall-free. 

The former governor getting in the way of coordination between state and city health officials seems especially heinous, as well as slowing the accessibility of vital information that critically impacts people's health and lives.

It's just worse than I even thought.

Meanwhile, here is some news about a promising next generation vaccine focusing on T-cell production (which is why natural immunity + vaccination is giving better protection than just natural immunity or just the vaccine).
