I heard they are organizing a US convoy for March 1st. I hope they learn lessons from the Canadian one. They will block streets. Deny fuel and hold funds from go fund me.

www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(22)00100-3/fulltext"Surprisingly, IHME models1 suggest that the transmission intensity of omicron is so high that policy actions—eg, increasing mask use, expanding vaccination coverage in people who have not been vaccinated, or delivering third doses of COVID-19 vaccines—taken in the next weeks will have limited impact on the course of the omicron wave. IHME estimates suggest that increasing use of masks to 80% of the population, for example, will only reduce cumulative infections over the next 4 months by 10%. Increasing COVID-19 vaccine boosters or vaccinating people who have not yet been vaccinated is unlikely to have any substantial impact on the omicron wave because by the time these interventions are scaled up the omicron wave will be largely over"

If our pueblo, Alejandria, is typical of the rest of the country then less and less people are wearing masks, social distancing, etc. We were in town yesterday, and I'd estimate that only 1 in 10 people (me and Luz included) was wearing a mark. We were gathered around a table, drinking and socializing just like before the pandemic. Of course the number of infected people in our town has shot out the roof, but no one (again, us included) gives a crap. We've had the shots, the booster, AND the Covid and I think we're as protected as we're gonna get. We've decided to go back to living a "normal" life. We're tired of hearing COVID, COVID, COVID all the time, everywhere. So we're going to enjoy life again just like prepandemic. Eventually the Covid will play itself out, but in the meantime we're going to live like it already has.

I know this data isn't from Colombia but it is perspective for what I think around the world. On Friday Feb. 4, PA had approx. 5300 new cases of Covid. The last week-day that it was that low was November 8, (usually weekends are traditionally low due to lack of reporting). PA peaked on Jan. 7 with 33,500 new cases. The new cases are going down faster than they went up. Suffice to say, herd immunity is beginning to take shape! I suspect this will be similar with other countries.On Friday only 1 death that was 'attributed' to Covid-19

wildstubby: while an easing of new Covid infections in the USA is a good sign, it must surely be due to the faster and milder nature of Omicron, not any heard immunity.
Colombia's fourth peak only lasted 3 weeks (although it was a high as the others) and is now falling away rapidly.
PS: How did we get onto this subject in a thread on Canadian Truckers?

Ya, trust this crowd to stay on track,and I might add none of them live in Canada on a regular basis 😀 Truckers are a breed in themselves, lone wolves marching to their own drum. I get it but the rest of these idiots are extremists,they should move to Florida or Texas to be with their people.

Truckers are the life blood of a country and there would be people starving within a week if it wasnt for them Mandates should be eliminated.. If you want to be vaccinated and masked do it, but don't force others. If you want to see a rowdy bunch of truckers watch Viva Frei's videos. He spent like 15 hours live streaming the protests over 3 or 4 days. They said driving in the convoy reached 50 miles in length.

tubes said: I heard it was herd! Thanks for making my point again tubes. If it wasn't herd immunity the decreasing line would be a lot flatter and not near as steep. What's this have to do with Canadian truckers? With the line going down, there is no need to be imposing these draconian rules and begin returning to normal life!

The go fund me has been replaced by Give Send Go. It has as much in it now as the go fund me had. I saw an interview with one of the truckers and yes he also is getting bitcoin donations. Its getting interesting now since they closed the one big border crossing. In fact I think i saw they have spread out to 3 or 4 more border crossings. Looks like a lot of the provinces have started to roll back there mandates.

So far demonstrations only in 3 Canadian Conservative run provinces.The truckers have inspired French truckers to pick up the cause.

I see 3 border crossings closed down. Coutts Alberta, Emmerson Manitoba and Ambassador Bridge Ontario plus the convoy in Ottawa. I just saw a recorded live stream on Gettr from the US trucker convoy organizers. They were vague on starting point and route because they said they dont want to give advance notice to the authorities. A couple comments made me think some of the convoy could break off to the Canadian border enroot to there destination. They said feds have anonymously tried to volunteer to help, with the intention to infiltrate the planning to get advance knowledge. Was an interesting video. I couldn't copy it off Gettr so will see if I can find it on other platforms.

I have a friend in Canada who.posted a few pro trucker videos on Facebook They were all deleted Say what you may about the blockades, Journalists have the power to brainwash the naive sheep and change public opinión and elections. But thats as far as their power goes. Truckers and Farmers have the power to bring a country to its knees And Tubes ..Canada doesnt end in Greater TO..which may be the only part you are familiar with SORRY MIXED UP TUBES AND GALLITOS POST
