News / Coronavirus in Poland [9831]

In all likelihood, Corona, as with influenza and small pocks (among small children) will always be with us, unfortunately. However, we're told in the media that as of Spring '22, masks, social distancing etc. will no longer be mandatory in the US, possibly world wide. Vaccinations as well might well become voluntary, with emphasis instead of free, mandatory testing using the saliva test.

Wishful thinking perhaps, yet I tend to trust the NYT more than the White House on certain such matters!

Quite the opposite clearly! We see here the limits of over zealous liberalism. The once tolerant Danes voted for Pia Kjaergaard. Who wants to see Copenhagestan?

Mishandled immigration, lax social regulations, and run-away , Americanization, the usual supects.

Apropos Denmark, I didn't want to come home! Loved it, although I couldn't help but learn the language well before going over! Zero unpleasant culture shock, know what I mean? But hey, that's me.

The Polish is more logical than English.

But the English of their Scandinavian interlocutor was doubtless bare minimum at best, much as the first impression of a coin before the final mint! Try death by boredom lol
