There is only very short term immunity from this virus
I guarantee you are not immune anymore.
Dont think you or anyone else can guarantee anything when it comes to the virus. It will come again and again until it weakens through peoples immunity and dies out naturally, or we accelerate the process with a vaccine.
All lockdown is doing is delaying things in the hope that we do get a vaccine. If we dont then the only way is for it to run its course. Imo lockdown is just as big a risk as herd immunity due to all of the other effects on peoples physical and mental health caused by lockdown, not to mention the devastating effect its having on the economy.

In Scotland our first minister has basically closed down all pubs and restaurants for two weeks from Friday. That woman is clueless and a bigger threat to Scotland than the virus has ever been. Nobody has any idea what her goal is by doing this.
Completely reliant on support from the U.K. government but just blames it on them when things go wrong.. ****s me right off how she gets such an easy ride.

We're still waiting to see if a 2nd wave of the virus will hit Sweden.
We've had a milder lockdown and used herd immunity, and so far, we've done far better (after the initial stage, were everyone feared Sweden would become a hivenest of ill people) than most other countries.

Sweden is an interesting one. Easy to say all countries should have done the same at this point but all countries are different. The government appear, at the very least, to have a clear strategy which theyve stuck by despite a lot of criticism and fair play to them for that. Clear rules that dont change every couple of days and an attempt to keep life as normal as possible for everyone.

All bars have been closed in Texas for some time, even though our restaurant capacity was increased a week or two ago. One bar in my town put up a big sign that says WE REFUSE TO SHUT DOWN, and they've been pulling decent crowds.

This is being done to deliberately crash the economy. The last attempt was made during the financial crisis of 2007-2008. There's no way that businesses can survive with all the imposed restrictions. And if their doors don't shut immediately they will eventually due to not being allowed to have as many customers in their facility as normal. Scandalous.

I simply cannot believe she's doing what she's doing. Wee Jimmy Krankie is going to destroy Scotland if you ever get independence. However you feel about breaking away from the Union, she would not be my choice of leader, you'd be back in the EU in a hearbeat and then I wonder how that is going to work with the rest of the UK, a hard border between Scotland and England ? Wow.
Sturgeon and the SNP are clueless. Scary to think that an independent Scotland with their ilk in charge is a very real possibility.

Sweden still is the hivenest of ill people. Just not from Covid ;)
Seriously though, i always found it ironic when people criticized Sweden's response, when its the only country where experts instead of politicians make the decisions.
Due to my lifestyle i haven't had really any impact from Covid. I now work at home though, which has been great.

Much the same up here in Scotland. Not to the extent of banning sale of non-essential items but similar lockdown measures. Theyve also introduced a 5 tier system because the three tier system in England wasnt confusing enough.
Personally Im getting fed up of the lies. Sturgeon initially claimed we would be having a circuit breaker lockdown for 2 weeks. To nobodies surprise it got extended by a week, and now theyve introduced the tier system so basically when the circuit breaker is done things will be the same anyway. Treating us like kids.
Absolutely shambolic handling of this second wave all over Europe with the obvious exception of Sweden.

Been a bit surprised about the response in all the english speaking countries.
Here if they want to do that type of measures, they first have to declare State of emergency, and its narrowly defined what constitutes an emergency and what measures they can take, the law is mostly for war time.
They used it last spring to ban large gatherings and to quarantine Helsinki area from the rest of Finland, which TBH could have been made permanent ;)
