Austria Poised to Impose Full Lockdown

Shock! The lockdown of the unvaccinated made zero impact on rising case numbers in Austria so now the country is on the brink of imposing a full lockdown – not that that will make the slightest bit of difference either. The Telegraph has more.

Austria could become the first place in Europe to see full Covid lockdowns reintroduced since widespread vaccination campaigns were rolled out as the continent faces a wave of new restrictions amid a winter surge.

The country’s worst-hit provinces said they would adopt the measure for themselves since infections are still rising despite the current controversial lockdown for the unvaccinated.

Roughly 66% of Austria’s population is fully vaccinated, one of the lowest rates in western Europe. Its infections are among the highest on the continent, with a seven-day incidence of 971.5 per 100,000 people.

As winter approaches, cases have surged across Europe, prompting governments to consider reimposing unpopular lockdowns. The Netherlands has imposed a partial lockdown that applies to all, but Austria has sought not to impose extra restrictions on the fully vaccinated.

Daily infections on Thursday reached a new record of 15,145. The biggest wave before this peaked at 9,586 a year ago, when Austria went into full lockdown. Hospitals in Austria are overloaded and there are unconfirmed reports of bodies being stored in the corridors.

Around Europe, nations are having to take action, including:

* The Netherlands could extend holidays over Christmas to slow a surge in cases among children.
* Coronavirus deaths in Russia hit record highs for the second straight day.
* Belgium has tightened its coronavirus restrictions in a last-ditch effort to avoid a full lockdown.

A German state has been forced to transfer coronavirus patients to Italy.

Stop Press: MailOnline has more about the lockdowns being readied across Europe.

Austria has a well-known history of totalitarianism – so nothing new there. Germany will probably conduct a new Anschluss as history is obviously repeating itself.

Does the following – from the article – mean a ‘booster’ will be deemed necessary every 4 months?

Those who have got their second jab will in the future only be considered fully immunised for seven rather than nine months, and can get their booster shot after four months.”

I think (hope) that governments are in the final death throws as the house of cards comes tumbling down. Which it will because there is no scientific foundation to any of it. I recommend having a look at Dr. Sam Bailey’s latest video on Odyssey.

So there we have it. Austria has conducted the ‘unvaccinated lockdown’ scientific experiment (the vaxed are the control group), and it totally failed. That they decide to lockdown everyone defies that experimental result, i.e. admits it’s *not* the unvaxed that are transmitting.

They have scientifically proved they are not ‘following the science’.

I keep saying that those who call for controls often only do so because they think the rules will only apply to other people. However, once the mechanisms are in place the rules can be made to apply to everyone.

Pretty much game over then ? All the theatre. All the coercive measures. All the vaccines = freedom turns out to be shit.

do they a) show caution. Back off and finally be sensible. Or b) double down

🤔

edit. Just read the Mail article. Apocalypse Now. Good job the Vaccines + vaccine passports + masks helped.

It might be sick. But it’s kind of joyful to see how their coercion has failed. And all their lies, nonsense and virtue signalling bull has amounted to nothing.

On the one hand it is good that they are abandoning the disgusting apartheid but doing a full lockdown again was the wrong solution.

Meanwhile, Romania has about 36% vaccinated (https://graphics.reuters.com/world-coronavirus-tracker-and-maps/countries-and-territories/romania/) and numbers are crashing to zero (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/romania). Bulgaria about 24% and maybe a week behind Romania.

“Covid case rates in England are now highest among children aged five to nine, latest weekly surveillance figures reveal.
The data, up to 14 November, shows this younger age group has overtaken older, secondary school aged children for the first time.”

Very convenient now that their jabs are ready!

I went down with “Covid” last Friday or did I? Streaming nose, slight temperature, sore eyes, tired body and a bad headache. Went to bed with some home remedies, had a rather uncomfortable night, but what joy, I was feeling rather better by Saturday evening. On Sunday I could hardly tell I had been ill and went a six mile walk with the dog.

Now should I have dragged my aching mid-seventies body down to a Covid testing centre, allowed my nasal passages to be assaulted with their over intrusive probing or should I have done what I did and most people would have done until recently, when they had an unpleasant but minor head cold.

Of course. Force-testing of healthy pupils yields larger number of positive test results.

“Germany has also agreed a series of tougher coronavirus measures in response to rising cases, which means that, as of next week, only those who have been vaccinated, test negative or have recovered from the virus can use public transport or go in to work”

This was wrong yesterday and is still wrong today: As of today, users of public transport in Germany have to be vaccinated, recovered, ie, have had a positive Sars-CoV2 PCR test in the last six months or a recent, negative test. It is planned to introduce these requirements for workplaces as well insofar it’s possible.

Unvaccinated people will be blocked from events and from the hospitality industry depending on a newly cooked up criterion, namely, the number of hospital admissions per 100,000 people in the last 7 days. The block is supposed to come into effect if that’s more than 3 which means it’ll immediately affect all of Germany[*].

[*] This looks like the next escalation in the expert’s Corona fraud.

I assume when you say hospital admissions, you mean hospital admissions with covid. Do you know if they count anyone who comes in for whatever reason and then tests positive or if it’s just those who actually do have symptomatic covid at the time of admission?

The lockdown of the unvaccinated made zero impact on rising case numbers in Austria so now the country is on the brink of imposing a full lockdown.
That was quick. In a matter of days it has been established that semi-lockdown did not work. How can they establish that???
