What is your country like now because of COVID-19? There are few people in the street here. I have stayed at home for three months. I am so bored!!
Nobody really gives a damn about covid in my country now. life is pretty much back to normal.
> I have stayed at home for three months. I am so bored!!
I feel for you man. I was also bored out of my mind during lockdown. Btw, I read somewhere that China had relaxed its covid policies so surely you can go out and do stuff? ( If you are not from China then my bad)

Ditto, life is back to normal for the most part in the US. There are a few places here that still push for wearing masks and getting vaccinated. And some strands still flair up I guess but it's nothing like it was.
Tell them to let you go outside so that you can play with your friends!

Still repercussions in the health sector here in Germany. Corona exposed what a silly system we established.
People in (health) care complain since 10 years at least, got more money promised since 5 years and never got anything.
Now many ran away into more easy jobs.
Meanwhile insurances raise their fees by a whopping and unjustified 1.6% in 2023 and apothecaries run out of meds.
Emergency rooms don’t take people with stable circulation, be prepared to leave the county and wait several hours while your broken leg swells up.
Children hospitals, birthing clinics don’t have any spots, better not make or have kids in Germany - if you did make that mistake pray to the Gods that they don’t get sick since your elected officials are too corrupt and incompetent to care for their well-being.

The official sewage samples here show that we actually experiencing a big peak right now, possibly a temporary bulb because of China opening up a bit.
What's different is that many people are properly vaccinated here now. Also many people have by now went through an infection on top of that, also increasing immunity somewhat.
It must be that, because face masks or other measures were mostly dropped in the Netherlands. No one's sitting in isolation here, except those who tested positive and maybe the extra vulnerable.

I gave the previous poster a thumbs up for lack of a crying emoji. By posting one link he gave me at least two more reasons to complain about my country (we’ll always be #1 at that unlike in football):
It showed science and politics interact with each other in a clever, easy and fast way by using TECHNOLOGY and COMMUNICATION. Some of which Germans invented, but certainly never learned how to use it efficiently.

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of."

The majority here gives zero fusks to this fraud, despite the majority also is intoxicated. I mean, vaccinated.
Don't remind me of COVID-19!

Yes, but recently most Chinese people, including me, have been infected with COVID-19. Although the symptoms are not serious (only common fever), people are still too weak to go out
