this is the equivalent of 600k daily for america.
Just being Belgium.
Yo know, the group of people who had le epic revolution just to install a new king, make such a nightmare fuel colony that even the Brits and the Afrikaners thought it went a bit far, and then spent the rest of their existence trying to justify their existence as a nation by getting invaded a lot.
With Germany and France shutting down I’m guessing it’s spreading all over Europe because it’s getting cold again. Same reason it’s spreading at an all time high in the U.S.
does it just spread more when its cold because the virus is harder to kill or because people spend more time inside in poorly ventilated areas?
Numbers have been going up for months, it was obvious that shit would get real very soon. I’m getting strong fatalistic vibes here in Germany, people have just given up / gotten used to it and it’s spreading like crazy. Belgium already had a massive outbreak during the first wave, and like Italy, it seems they’re going through that again, but worse .
It was inevitable that people were going to give up. Locking down for months on end as never been done and is not sustainable from a mental health perspective, not because MUH STONKS. Every God damn poster here should recognize that months or years of no social interaction besides the Internet makes people’s brains smooth and leads to depression and anxiety.
When we didn’t eliminate Covid in March, when the bad outbreaks were still regional, our fate was sealed. The only reason that the US continued to squabble over the summer while Europe shrugged their shoulders is because it was a great political opportunity.
The Left is full of useful idiots and gullible babies, which is why they still think it’s a Big Deal instead of a political fiasco.

In fact it’s bad health praxis because waves of covid are inevitable at this point, we must be “cocooning” vulnerable populations. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/12/20-1930_article
Goverment has repeatedly ignored advice from medical experts and has never implemented a proper quarantine since the beginning of corona. The “lockdowns” they are instituting consist of a curfew that only goes from 22h to 6h, bars and restaurants keep closing for a week and then reopening, the wealthy keep traveling abroad and returning to Belgium without any checks in place, a significant amount of people do not wear masks, because the laws change on a weekly basis people no longer know or follow the rules, general lack of solidarity, etc… The only “positive” aspect of Belgium’s handling of the corona virus is that the medical society does not attempt to hide numbers or reduce testing which results in a very clear image of the amount of infections and deaths. One of the reasons Belgium’s mortality for instance is dire in comparison to other European nations is that deaths within elderly care facilities are counted and not written of as dying of old age or pneumonia.
tl/dr; far right goverment doesnt do shit, no solidarity, meticulous medical sector that records all deaths/infections
