Oh, forced mass vaccination - as long as the vaccine has been created according to the current state of the art in science (that is, proper studies that its effective and free of bad side effects for the vast majority of people) I would have no problem with that.

 

apparently its up to you how much you let it affect you

 

I really don’t care about staying at home being I am content with my family. Just need the bank once a month. Since the GCQ My wife makes me a strong Nescafe coffee which I now enjoy and save money not going to Bo’s, and the gym not allowed to open, plus no school, so no need to go to Dumaguete.

 

I live in Alfonso near Tagaytay. Being in Cavite we are still under ECQ but there is no age restrictions on travel, as a matter of fact seniors are allowed to have a driver to take them where needed in our area. We are only supposed to go to the supermarket nearest us, however if you show up at a roadblock with a reason to go further, for instance a prescription for a drugstore or to visit a doctor they will let you through politely. At least that has been my experience.

We have been supplied with way more rice than we can eat as well as frozen fish and loads of hotdogs. Trucks come by every few days house to house to distribute it. Our housing area is well to do by local standards but the attitude seems to be giving everyone the same. All though we don't need the help I do appreciate it.

 

Nobody has yet mentioned Soviet violation of the treaty. After the fall of The Wall, arms inspectors found at least one abandoned bio-weapons lab with traces of recent activity. Here is a BBC report on Vozrozhdeniya Island:

End of round one.

 

This was not my point. I have not mentioned one of all these conspiracy theories that you brought up. In fact, I find it more scary that there is NOT a conspiracy because these people from scientists to presidents find it normal to manipulate viruses, research on bioweapons etc - don't we humans have better options to create a human world? I do not need to waste my time with area 52 stories, it's horrible enough what is going on on the surface.

 

I wish the US (my country) had universal coverage and it would be quite possible if employer paid insurance (useless when you lose your job) were diverted to taxes paid to the US government as insurer, that included the whole population as the risk pool. The problem is politicians there who receive campaign contributions from insurance and pharmaceutical companies, ie who do not want to go out of business. Health insurers have no business being a part of this process; the only way for their shareholders to profit is to charge more while reducing care. Plus they charge high administrative costs as an unnecessary middleman and roadblock to cheaper care. One would think that the Democratic Party in the US would push universal health care, which would almost guarantee election victories in my opinion (though they are not willing to risk possible loss of campaign funds). But democrat Bernie Sanders who pushed “medicare for all” was sidelined by the party and replaced with Biden whose campaign relies on contributions from insurance companies. Biden of course rejects medicare for all. It is a shame and something must be done about it. At least the current administration will have government pay for all COVID19 cases (not pushed by the party of the working people!) but that is a small drop in the bucket, especially because by the numbers, COVID19 is not that expensive because, in spite of the extensive fear porn raised by the media, COVID cases are a relatively low occurrence over the entire population. The US desperately needs REAL campaign finance reform.
