Would you support lockdowns for the unvaccinated ?

Austria is days away from ordering millions of unvaccinated people to stay at home, its chancellor has said, in a rare move that underscores the increasing exasperation of European leaders towards those who have not yet been inoculated against Covid-19.

Under Austria's plan, which was agreed in September, unvaccinated Austrians will face a stay-at-home order once 30% of intensive-care beds are occupied by Covid-19 patients. The current rate is 21%, according to the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES), and a surge in infections has pushed it up quickly.

Unvaccinated people are already excluded from entertainment venues, restaurants, hairdressers and other parts of public life in Austria. If the new measures come into place, the unvaccinated will be ordered to stay home except for a few limited reasons; the rules will be policed by officers carrying out spot checks on those who are out.

Around 65% of Austria's population is fully vaccinated against Covid-19, one of the lower rates in the European Union.
''It is clear that this winter will be uncomfortable for the unvaccinated," Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg warned on Thursday.

[quote]Well. Aren’t you the prolific Scientist! Yes, I bow in your presence, oh wise one. Thank you for your amazing conclusions. If I only could have a brain and mentality as yours, I could have had a starring role, in “The Wizard Of Oz.” Nice try, wise guy![/quote]

@Oster1,

1) I said Dr. Fauci is a great scientist in precisely this area--which he is--not that I am.

However, it's obvious that several people here who argue from "common sense" do so because they have no idea about the numbers, etc., involved in this, and simply cannot understand graphs, etc.

My own background is strong in STEM, so I don't habe problems seeing & understanding these things.

But since you are so good at mocking,

[i][c=BF0000]What is your background?[/c][/i]

[i][c=BF0000]What are your qualifications,[/c][/i] other than mocking?

2) Thanks for the unnecessary worship. I am certainly not worthy of that.

3) I never said I have an amazing brain, but your inability to understand the facts presented, with references, in so many posts here does not bode well for your own ability to comprehend & consider the very simple basis of the CoViD problem.

4) If you truly wish to act, believe in yourself, rather than wishing you were someone else. Develop your strengths, shore up your weaknesses, and go for your dreams.

@SomeMichGuy saying that Fauci is a great scientist just goes to show that your background is in stupidity and ignorance

@SomeMichGuy They are trolling you mate. Their comments are not worth even responding to.
