I knew every place affected by covid-19 was struggling but when you actually realize just how badly, it is scary:
One reason isolation times have been reduced in some places is so essential workers can keep working because otherwise the cog of life isn't as smooth or it goes around slowly. Food, toilet paper, drink (not alcohol) etc. are important so governments have to do everything they can to not have a supply chain which isn't consistent.
And it's not just about having a or more products: if you don't have the products but they're on the way, then you end up with too many and a backlog which isn't good.
Nurses leaving their jobs because the toll is just too great, they're run off their feet, not paid enough and there have never been enough of them, not to mention the impact on their personal lives.
I am not saying you should or shouldn't get the vaccine but the fact many governments have made or are making it mandatory for some workplaces and some customers demonstrates that it's better to have, along with public health measures.
The atmosphere covid has created where someone in government can make the headlines and even lose their job for breaching measures to contain covid. A Hong Kong government employee has basically had that happen.
Mixing vaccines which has never happened before. Why? Because there are not enough.
Even before you get to making and distributing vaccines, accelerated trials and then emergency approval?
Protests are not in the same category, but people reacting in that way as a consequence of government decisions to contain covid-19.
