Thank you for making your comment more clear. Yes I do agree.

We live in a time where the “Stockholm syndrome” has become a world wide occurrence. While the COVID is real it is also real there are those whose vision of the world is more in line with autocratic leadership, socialist ideals and are using the virus to advance their revolution (they call it a “reset”).

Since all of us have become “captives” of this singular COVID narrative, it is also inevitable we too are slowly falling into the same syndrome.

And yes, I too have in many ways succumb to their propaganda. Why? Because like others I want to return to some sort of normal. For instance, regardless of what I believe to be the truth about mask wearing I wear them in stores, restaurants and according Company edicts at work. Because I want people to prosper.

Yes there is new normal and even people outside of Dubai are willing to rat on their neighbors.

Thanks again for the response.

Domestic may be starting to roar back, but IATA may be right about international.

German Health Minister Jens Spahn is telling Germans to diligently follow coronavirus safety rules, warning that vaccines won't arrive quickly enough to prevent a third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. New infections in Germany are rising at a "very clearly exponential rate," Spahn said.

"There are not yet enough vaccine doses in Europe to stop the third wave by vaccination alone," Spahn said at a news conference Friday, according to a translation by Deutsche Welle. "Even if the deliveries from EU orders come reliably, it will still take a few weeks until the risk groups are fully vaccinated."

Germany's infection rate is rising at a pace not seen since the record spike it endured in December and January. The numbers fell sharply in February, but they're now curving upward again as Germany enters a third wave of the pandemic, propelled by new variants and infections among people younger than 65.

With Germany set for a four-day-weekend in early April due to the Easter holiday, Spahn said the country isn't ready to relax travel and physical distancing rules. In fact, he said, Germans should be prepared to revert to tighter restrictions.

It sure seems like Europe is a mess with vaccinations. The UK and Israel seem to be leading the charge in this department. Until Europe starts a viable vaccination campaign the way we are in the US this cycle will never end.

I don't understand how common sense hasn't set in with these people continuing to put these restrictions in place
