the Russians haven't submitted it for approval.

Wasn't there an issue about stolen research documentation ?

Faced with the restaurant rebellion, and realising that their legislation is a crock of sh!t

"Polish authorities can impose fines of up to €6,600 ($8,000) for non-compliance with pandemic restrictions. Violators must pay quickly; otherwise, inspectors can freeze their bank accounts.

That's scary....

AFAIK, some municipalities/states are doing the same thing in the US. One outspoken gym owner had his bank account seized by the government when he refused to pay their fines for refusing to shut down. Thankfully, the community got together and paid his fines. He is still fighting the good fight.

It's not even so bad that governments all around the world, but especially in the US and Europe, are taking away basic freedoms, gutting the middle class, bankrupting small businesses, etc., but what's worse in my eyes is that so many people are supportive of these measures and are so scared of covid. I mean come on, this virus has a 99% survival rate...

We are truly living in very dark times and not just because of covid - that's just one of many issues.

One person I know who works for a state public health department said that they don't expect things to go back to normal till 2023.

Bill Gates discussed how he envisions a global police force with a database to distribute and administer vaccines. They'd then be able to see who had the vaccine and who hasn't.

I can't imagine this going as far as 2023 without resulting in a civil war.

It will take more than the Covid crisis to cause a civil war in Poland.

I meant the US.. especially the big cities where cost of living is astronomically high. Poland is very pocket friendly.

Poland is very pocket friendly.

Remember that salaries in a lot of jobs are low here; a lot of people only just get by.

We'll be feeling the long-term effects of Covid for many years unfortunately. At least medical costs are covered here though.

We'll be feeling the imposition of Chinese Communist Party style rule (a model now adopted by how many countries?) for a lot longer....

Remember the Wuhan lockdowns came from the same political philosophy that built concentration camps for Uyghurs.... you can't take one without the other....

I didn't like the medical coverage in Poland... such long delays.. at first I thought it was some joke but it isn't. Ended up paying the doctor $1500 to get it done in 2 days instead of waiting 8 months.

We'll be feeling the long-term effects of Covid for many years unfortunately.

That's inevitable. I expect taxes to go up everywhere. Time to leave and take some time off in a tropical island.

the imposition

Unfortunately PiS are an authoritarian party. Their fearful sheep-like voters would probably relish the feeling of security that gave.

2023

Well, the Spanish Flu took about 2-3 years before it really abated. It came in a wave, killed a bunch of people, settled down, then came a second which was even more deadly, then settled down again, and then 2 more smaller waves after that.

And today just like in the late 1910's, the government implemented social distancing, shutdowns, and mask mandates and there was a large group of people who opposed such things. Except unlike COVID, Spanish Flu didn't have a 1% mortality rate.

civil war

All bark, no bite... There's not going to be any civil war no matter how much people say "x, y, and z will result in civil war if this continues!!" with x, y and z usually being political divisiveness, increasing taxes combined with inflation, and ever increased government spending especially on programs for bums and leeches, antifa riots with blacks looting, and now more recently covid restrictions. It's not going to happen.= For one, people simply aren't organized and the ones who complain the most about it would never give up their McMansion/overpriced urban condo and late model SUV to go join some revolution.

The funny thing is that a bunch of countries use to have laws forbidding masks especially in Europe many of them being enacted over the past 2 decades. They didn't want people to obscure their faces especially during demonstrations and such. Now it's the opposite - they have laws that forbid going out without a mask.

There is merit to what you mentioned. Just today I was reading a news which said 300,000 moved out of NY for smaller, cheaper cities and that property prices are taking a hit.. that looks more like the outcome.

Note >

Citizens of EU countries flee from chaos in the EU to Serbia to receive Covid vaccine, where they can chose vaccine of almost all world producers.

By the Serbian law, all foreigners that have business or cultural activity ongoing within Serbia do have right to receive free Covid vaccine, same as all Serbian citizens and they are free to choose producer of vaccine. Also, re-vaccine of same producer guaranteed, also free.

Few days ago Serbian President Vucic commented on TV that can`t understand level of corruption within EU, when Serbia buys USA vaccines on better prices.

Somebody in EU seams to takes money for himself. And at this moment of crisis.

To me, EU is disgusting.

@jon357
I disagree. The unrest here is not just among people, it is taking hold in local governments. The courts have ruled against Sanepid fines and police in almost every instance where they have tried to impose them on business owners. Money talks and BS walks. PiS and the whole lockdown is making their most loyal followers walk away from them. When police start having family members loose everything and they start to take less action thats when it will explode in Poland.

All of Poznan open now. Police cant keep up with writing tickets. Told the same is true in Lodz, I will be there this weekend, and I had no problem getting a hotel an dinner reservations for Saturday night. Krakow more places open each day.

Here in the capital, places are still closed.

@jon357
A lot more police presence in the capital with all the demonstrations as well. Krakow, you can find place open without a problem now. Only place really closed up still is rynek, but a lot of non essential shops are open. Talking with business owners the patience is not going to last much longer.

Meanwhile, my neighbor who makes custom furniture and was doing very well for himself is now out of business and moving out of his flat to be with his parents. He has already sold his car and other items over the last few months to survive. This is what the lockdown will bring many more people.

Actually driving a kia and not wearing designer clothes, putting all money into his equipment as he built his business. It is what it is. This is the state of small business in Poland. As I walk down the street and see all the places that are gone, it will take a decade for Poland to recover. All the press BS is simply smoke an mirrors.

Not here at all; almost nothing. A few pubs doing UK-style "lock-ins", providing they can cover their windows well enough to appear closed.

out of business

There are quite a few smaller shops that look like they've closed for good. It feels like 20 years ago here.

All the press BS is simply smoke an mirrors.

There is the problem.
If they told us the truth instead of fear mongering the people with false statistics to unnecessarily bankrupt the middle class.
Here is a stat for ya'll.
Did you know that if you are between 20-40 years old that your chances of dying playing football is greater then dying from the virus.

And why did the governments pad the statistics about the hundreds of thousands of people over the age of 75 who died of natural causes and blame it on the virus ?

Or how many they killed on their infamous respirators (Oops).
If the true facts were presented by the media of how many actually died from the virus it would be less then how many died of the flu virus.

You nailed it PolAm, "simply smoke and mirrors".
And isn't it amazing how they can conveniently pull off the Olympics and Super Bowl ? $$$$$
Now they are using us as guinea pigs with their vaccines.
LONDON - As the world races to vaccinate and fight new variants of Covid-19, a new trial is trying something that could speed up the process: mixing shots.

Patients taking part in a clinical trial launched Thursday in the United Kingdom will receive different vaccines for their first and second doses: the vaccine developed by Oxford University and AstraZeneca, followed by the one from Pfizer and BioNTech, or vice versa.

I got an idea, how about telling us what how long these vaccinations are suppose to be effective for, what is in them, what the possible long term risks are, how they actually alter our DNA, and and well you know, the important stuff instead of the media's dog and pony show about hurry hurry to get to the front of the line you useful idiot.

No thanks.

If they told us the truth

Here's another fact, Virus and Disease are not the same thing. Virus can only cause disease if sufficient quantity of them is present in the body that the immunity system cannot overcome. But the COVID test aka the lab test only detects the virus regardless of its quantity which is a scam by itself.

About 3% of human body mass is made up of trillions of microorganisms.. they are a part of us.

To sum up, they are testing for a disease (Covid) using a lab test (PCR) which merely detects the presence of virus without measuring the quantity.

which merely detects the presence of virus without measuring the quantity.

And don't report the average age of the victims. You have to dig and dig to get it. So far, it overlaps average mortality very nicely.

I bet that if they tested for mercury, polonium 210, and arsenic, they would find a couple of atoms of each.

Anyone notice how much they have to "dig" with the nasal swab to get enough of a sample to detect it? When I had strep throat it was a simple swab, mono, chicken pox, all those things dont require such intrusive digging in to get a sample.

I am sure everyone has been exposed by now. It is the "viral load" that makes the difference in illness or not. This is about countries not being prepared for medical emergencies. This is not about illness or vaccine. The real story is how the world medical services is completely unprepared for a real crazy pandemic. Spanish flu was so much worse than this and more than a hundred years later no one was ready. So the citizens have to pay for the unprepared governments they elect. This is beyond incompetence.

Sure, seasonal flu won't cause a revolution in Poland. People will just stop obeying stupid "pandemic measures" and will show a middle finger to "new normality" in order to save their small businesses. The government doesn't have enough beaurocrats to keep track of all of them and to bug them with "sanitary" inspections.

PS: Despite your wishes, I neither got arrested nor caught the famous flu on that rave. Over 200 people, no masks, no social distance, pure joy. That's good old normality for you.

Crseuipatron - ...they are testing for a disease (Covid) using a lab test (PCR) which merely detects the presence of virus without measuring the quantity

Well yes I think most people know that the degree of infection will depend on the strength and quaniity of the virus which has been contracted.....don't worry if you have contracted the virus, depending on the degree of infection this information will provide you with a way to get better.....the important thing is that there are rules and regulations to protect you from further infection or further suffering....people just need to follow them...

Hey, Iron, here is another something new from me...

I noticed that we now have the British variant, the South African variant, and the Brazil variant. Somehow, the commie leftists never refer to the coronavirus as the Chinese virus. In fact, leftists go apes**t when others do. Why is it?
