glares enviously at whitequark
<whitequark>
hi raptop
<raptop>
hi
<raptop>
(This is about you getting vaccinated)
<whitequark>
yep i figured
<whitequark>
europeans: "haha you live in a failed state". also europeans: "wow i can't believe you got vaccinated already"
<whitequark>
(not you, was talking to someone else)
<whitequark>
(also anonymously because i'm not quoting this fairly towards the poster, it's more that the general approach amuses me)
<whitequark>
sometimes propaganda is a truth shown strategically, but sometimes it's just a lie.
* raptop
feels like I saw something similiar about how israel's fast vaccination rate was related to a lack of privacy
<raptop>
and all I could think of was people talking about how much freer the US was than east asia wrt to masks/lockdowns/contact tracing
<egg|cell|egg>

pets egg
<whitequark>
well, the US is freer than east asia wrt masks, and east asia is freer than the US wrt coronavirus

gives whitequark a clockwise sign
<whitequark>
pick your poison
<whitequark>
!wpn egg

gives egg a gender
<whitequark>
wow. rude
<raptop>
One (1) gender

iirc RU is also vaccinating in the other direction along the age pyramid? (Not that it doesn't make sense but it also explains that people in our age bracket are waiting here)
<whitequark>
egg: RU is vaccinating anyone who wants
<whitequark>
in moscow anyway
<whitequark>
i got it in a paid clinic for [reasons] but i could have done it for free too
<whitequark>
there are some basic eligibility checks claimed in some avenues but as far as i can tell no one actually gives a fuck, the basic idea is to vaccinate everyone who will take it
<egg|cell|egg>
Right; here it's down the ages so >90% in care homes now
<whitequark>
there were brigades in shopping malls that would just vaccinate anyone who comes and shows proof of residence for free
<whitequark>
there's no shortage of sputnik-v so why bother staging vaccination?
<raptop>
Yeah, phased rollout here also (mixes of age, preexisting conditions, occupation)
* egg|anbo|egg_
pets whitequark with a cat
<egg|anbo|egg_>
whitequark: yeah it’s free here too obviously, just staged (I think now it’s > 55 for AZ and I forget which age bracket they are targeting with the BioNTech & Moderna)
<egg|anbo|egg_>
re. masks FR might actually be more stringent even than some east asian countries (mandatory masks even outside), but the isolate part of test/trace/isolate fell afoul of a constitutional protection

(and given the permeable intra-EU borders but lack of coordinated public health policy anything short of limiting nontrivial travel, i.e., lockdown, makes isolation/quarantine a mess)
