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.

Sudden cardiac death is the largest cause of natural death in the United States, causing about 325,000 adult deaths in the United States each year.

So let’s have a mandate to keep people from McDonald’s as well!

@Spokeskitties75 Except that sudden cardiac arrest isn't contagious, super spreader.

@Spokeskitties75 Just as logical, isn't it?

@LordShadowfire no… but dead… is dead

@Spokeskitties75 Actually most people who die of cardiac arrest have know heart conditions prior to their deaths. That aside ever notice the spike in sudden deaths among professional athletes? I read that 75 had died in the last few months. The year over year average is about 5 a year.

@LordShadowfire I have the vaccine and the booster… so I’m one of you… not “those people “ you refer to. See how easily you jump to conclusions. So I’m not going to Covid you! So take a chill pill… Just because I’m vaccinated… doesn’t mean that I believe the government has a right to tell people what to do.

@Spokeskitties75 I absolutely adore you for this ❤️ Thank you

@Spokeskitties75 So you think people have the right to make other people sick. You think that people have the legal right to make immunocompromised people like me and my dad sick, knowing we'll probably die from it. That's what you think. Am I hearing this right? People who refuse to get vaccinated against the virus have more of a legal right to their lives than I do?

@LordShadowfire I’m not going to continue to engage in your drama. I’m vaccinated… and boostered… that was my choice… like me for it… hate me for it… whatever. But it was my choice, no one else’s.

@Spokeskitties75 It's not drama. Every person out there who makes the choice not to get vaccinated is putting [i]my[/i] life at risk.

@perceptivei Yes, if they are still smoking, they are failing a simple IQ test AND costing us dearly.
