@Paulo, yeah, there's a bit of a spike here and most people just want to ignore it. It seems *maybe* it's milder for non-immuno-compromised people lately (but then long COVID is a risk after that). SM Ken commented about this while playing a rerun of Pseu's show about 15 hours ago: www.wfmu.org...
ah right ok. This all makes sense. We still have our indroor mask mandate but you cant get inside anywhere without a recent pcr test and your app green. Plus mins 3 vaccines were mandatory
Holy crap @Paulo, that sounds amazing. Most Americans would scream bloody murder at losin' der freedumbs or some such bullshit if they had to do that. For a while NYC businesses at least wanted to see vax cards, but that didn't last long, and the new corrupt idiot stealth-Republican mayor of NYC wants to get rid of masks ASAP and act like it's all over.
Over here almost all mandates and restrictions were lifted (mask mandate still on in subway and buses, but not enforced), even though things are definitely not going well. Of course, that's totally not related to the ongoing presidential election, as proved by the fact the government announced the lifting of restrictions weeks in advance and said nothing would change that
@fred, I haven't been following that at all. I imagine that if Le Pen was previously getting any Ru$$ian cash flow then that has at least dried up, yeah? Or am I talking outta my butt?
@Ike: She did, but she has that money, so she doesn't need more right now (sanctions might even help her by blocking repayment of those loans). Another candidate even more on the far right helped her sound "moderate", and she scrubbed her praise of Putin (and her pictures with him) while the other guy doubled down or equivocated. Pretty smart moves, very scary
Also, remember that sanctions don't apply to energy, so the EU is still paying billions to Russia. It wouldn't be hard for some of that money to make it to friendly politicians. And Le Pen is definitely one, this week she suggested Russia should become a member of NATO
