I’m watching the international news. They are speaking about an explosive 5th wave in Europe. Already more than 20k cases/day in France. Austria is under hard lockdown for the next 3weeks besides the compulsory vaccination for all… it’s scary.

I wish they can open the booster jabs for the public here.

All the graphs of Europe show of a waning immunity. But most of Europe also did the 21 day gap between Phizer jabs where we had the 42 day gap. Hope that will extend the immunity for longer. We'll find out around this time next month I guess.

The transmission rate with this 5th wave is so high, the German minister of health declared “by the end of this winter, people will be either immunized, recovered from an infection or dead!”

I had a quick browse of France, Germany, Austria and Netherlands. All still doing ok with hospitalisation and death rate. Austria a little worse than the others. But it's still early.

Netherlands haven't rolled out their booster shots yet. So that will be worth keeping an eye on.
 
I am staying home over Xmas, I expect the above to flip when the Vaalies travel

They should allow travel and that week between Christmas and New Year's they should lock the borders for like a month or 2. Those that's outside should stay there. Imagine the peace and quiet we will have.
 
And here in Yzerfontein we're gearing up for the seasonal influx of visitors ... from Gauteng and Cape Town mostly. I wish I could find out how many of us in Yzer have been vaccinated.

We'll hopefully see a lockdown on Gauteng in the next 2 to 3 weeks. It'll spare the other privinces a nasty 4th wave.
 
You are sound and safe and immunized.... look at the positive side of things guys :)

Edit: I missed my father's funeral if you want to know.

Sorry to hear about that.

The same with my uncle.

People don't realise that a simple family gathering over the next few months can end up in tears.
