Our government meets tomorrow to discuss the situation. They tried using COVID passports to let the bars and restaurants stay open longer and have larger events, but it isn't working. The vaccines don't prevent transmission and this new variant is extremely transmissable. The concern of our medical community is that we already have over 1/3 of the ICU beds occupied by COVID patients - mostly unvaccinated. The solution? Stay home and/or stay away from others. We will go to the In-law's on Christmas Day, but we are all vaccinated and they are freshly boostered.

I think we are going to see things evolve. If the overall majority people, like 75 to 80% of the population, are vaccinated/boostered, and it is unlikely to cause serious disease among that group, why lockdown? The unvaccinated ones need to be the group to stay home on lockdown not the majority, unless they want to deal with the consequences. I honestly do wish our country would ask the unvaccinated people to pay for their hospital stays. We have universal health care. The Helsinki University Hospital says it costs about $16,000 per COVID patient that visits the ICU. Patients pay a tiny fraction of that (under $1,000) while the taxpayers pay the rest. If you refuse to vaccinate, why should the state pay for your medical expenses?

The year end push continues.. I need to get as many galleries built and on my TGPs as possible. It is a definite race against time, especially this week. It is too danged cold out right now to do much of anything anyway. -11Canadian right now (12F), going down a couple more degrees tonight. It is clear, so that could go nice and low. Last night was so cold the Cat actually slept on our bed near my feet. She has never done that before. Abolutely no snow on the ground, just very very cold.

Back to the porn..
