3G -> 2.5G -> 2G
Nov. 5th, 2021 12:05 amCOVID-numbers in Austria are back to "very bad," what a surprise considering almost a third of the population is not fully vaccinated yet. Some stricter rules were introduced recently, people are encouraged to get booster shots after 6 months, and the mayor of Vienna has now said that there will be "2G" (genesen oder geimpft, recovered or vaccinated) rules in many places starting soon.
Several of my co-workers are not vaccinated. To be fair, two of them had COVID over half a year ago and recently had a test done that they still have antibodies and now don't understand why they should get vaccinated regardless. Another one has a chronic illness so I understood her initial hesitation half a year ago, but she refuses to even talk to her doctor about what they would advise. And it is so frustrating how they keep saying things that are just wrong. "It is everyone's personal decision that doesn't affect anyone else," that is not how it works. Or "a friend of a friend was fully vaccinated and still got COVID and had to go to the hospital, so clearly getting vaccinated doesn't really make a difference," uuugh. "These new restrictions are so outrageous, I'm amazed that there haven't been demonstrations," uh there have been many demonstrations how did you miss that. (That last one I don't really care about except to wonder where they get their news.) They keep reinforcing each other's views and I sometimes interrupt when it's something obviously wrong (and when they're speaking German) but I'm trying hard to hold back and be polite because I have to work with them every day. But. It is so frustrating. Arrrgh.
(I'm just glad there aren't any anti-vaxers in my family.)
