The irony, is that the sequalae of the lockdowns and the vaxx will probably overwhelm the hospital systems. The original objective that was a total farce...may come true because of the farce. There won't be an end zone and the goal post will get moved so fast that everyone will forget we're having the world's longest instant replay.
O God. How dispiriting. I am so sorry for you. In December 2020 my friends asked when I thought it would be over and I said 2024. I was hoping that was over pessimistic. On the other hand, every year, the general (but not universal) bowing to ludicrous rules diminishes. Eventually, it will have to die away. The problem, I think, is that governments know that they can't lock down any more, but they can't admit that the situation isn't anywhere near as serious as they led everyone to believe. Consequently, increasingly absurd measures are introduced, the only basis for them being that they are a gesture to indicate that "something is being done" whilst not preventing businesses, transport, schools etc remaining open, albeit inflicting ridiculous and cultish behaviours on those who use such places. We have just had a report in the UK that most patients in hospital contracted covid after admission, and yet no one (in power) is making the obvious conclusion, that these heavily mask-enforcing places have not achieved the prevention of transmission.
The most useful lesson I was taught and learned, truly learned during corona was: "you cannot reason with a lunatic".
The real shock was learning how many are lunatics and how many can be frightened into lunacy. When I say that I will never look at my countrymen the same way again I mean it.
These measures were dubious at best when first deployed, and it has since been shown they achieve nothing, as far as public health is concerned (at least, nothing positive).
Perpetuating them now can only be explained in two ways: Firstly, a desperate determination that these measures were justified and useful in the first place. Abandoning them now would be dangerously close to admitting they are, at best, useless, and opening the door to examination of their negative impact. Secondly, "mission creep" or bureaucratic inertia. Once governments enact measures, they do not abandon them. Even if the original reason for adopting them is proven false, the measures acquire a sustainable life-force of their own.
Masks for the sake of masks. Not for the sake of anything else.
I don’t know what to call it but one thing we can say is what it is not. It isn’t science. It isn’t medicine, it isn’t rational, or measured, or reasonable or effective. It isn’t common sense. It isn’t human...
So sorry for you and your fellow citizens. I fervently pray that we can avoid this type of dystopia in the US. But that prayer will need to be supplemented with speaking out and standing up.
It's more like flatten the herd.
Ever thought of moving to a free(r) country ? It seems even Russia is freer than Germany now. Sad.

Utter lunacy. Government proving once again that it is the most useless entity on the planet, surpassing even the cockroach.

And I thought our FDA and CDC were dysfunctional. You Germans take that to new heights.
Do not comply!
This can only work with a compliant population.
I despise these people.
I pray that finally the over-vaxxed, over-taxed, common man will awake and bring them down. What a glorious day that will be.
Peak insanity. How on earth is this even remotely possible?
Stupidity at its finest.
Madness created by fools and charlatans
