[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m currently in the Middle East over winter break visiting my family and decided to check DCUM on a whim. Being here made me just realize how messed up and dsyfunctional the US  is. Here they only shut down for a few weeks when the virus first started and then they shut down for 6 weeks when delta hit. Otherwise people are living their lives pretty normally. Majority of the population os vaccinated. Testing is widespread. People take rapid tests regularly - two or three times a week and PCR tests every few weeks or so. Tests are widely available. Anytime ppl meet up with friends or family they take a test. The government is very transparent. There is an app. Everyone knows how many new cases there are a day… rate of covid… how many are being treated in the hospital. There is a color system. Green means can go to places with no restrictions and be unmasked outdoors. Yellow (which was instituted today) means that you need to wear a mask in and outdoors (unless eating) and that you need to show your vaccine card (also in the app) to enter places. We went to a restaurant today and showed our card (literally took two seconds) and walked right in. People aren’t like the crazy shut everything down types. But they also are pro-mask and pro-vaccine. Government is all about testing, vaccinating and is generally on top of things. As a result cases aren’t ever that bad, covid is under control and ppl are living normal lives. The balance is right.[/quote]

Vaccine passports and mandates are throughout Europe, and cases are soaring. Virus is going to virus.[/quote]

I don’t think you get it. It’s not like Europe here. Case counts are low. There is no vaccine mandate. You have an option of not being vaccinated. Vaccine passports and masking exist but it depends on what level. We were green up until yesterday. At the green level there are no vaccine passports. Masking is required in indoors public areas. There are no social distancing requirements so businesses can operate at maximum capacity. At the yellow level vaccine passports are required but businesses can still operate at maximum capacity. Vaccine passports here include people who are vaccinated as well as people who aren’t vaccinated but just recovered from covid.[/quote]
