Push people long enough eventually, they will push back.
Denmark has had enough and have decided to end most covid restrictions. Here is a quote from Newsweek.
Denmark Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced on January 26 Denmark would be throwing out most of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions it placed, including mask mandates.
Restrictions currently in place are for the public to wear masks on public transportations, in restaurants, in shops, and people entering healthcare facilities and retirement homes, according to the Associated Press. However, following the February 1 change of restrictions, masks will only be required in hospitals, healthcare facilities and homes for the elderly.
“We say goodbye to the restrictions and welcome the life we knew before,” Frederiksen said. “As of Feb. 1, Denmark will be open.”
And they are hardly the only locale to put their foot down.
Look at England.
Look at Ireland.
Look at the Czech Republic.
Can you feel it? People are (more than) fed up with the pandemic and one indication is in how they choose to vacation. Take for example what’s going on in the Dominican Republic. To quote DNYUZ:
They, along with all the other visitors who filled the majority of Punta Cana’s roughly 42,000 hotel rooms that January weekend, were part of what many consider a rare pandemic tourism success story. In December the Dominican Republic drew 700,000 visitors from abroad, more than it had attracted not only before the pandemic, but in any single month ever, according to the Ministry of Tourism. That pushed 2021 totals to nearly five million visitors, more than any other country in the Caribbean. In December, some financial analysts calculated that the country was having its best year economically in 30 years.
And Punta Cana isn’t the only getaway that’s booming in the Dominican Republic. Las Terrenas, a small seaside town that tends to attract a crowd that despises all-inclusives, has exploded in popularity during the pandemic.
The Dominican Republic’s visitor figures have to do, in part, with its unconventional strategy for gaining a competitive advantage. Unlike most Caribbean beach destinations, the country doesn’t require proof of vaccination, a Covid test or quarantine for most incoming travelers.
While many are looking for a temporary escape from the pandemic, others are looking for a permanent solution; as well as an evasion from the political crazy going on these days. Case in point, a group of German, Austrian and Swiss immigrants have created an ideologically driven settlement in Paraguay. Here is a quote from The Guardian.
A 1,600-hectare (4,000-acre) gated community, dubbed El Paraíso Verde, or the Green Paradise, is being carved out of the fertile red earth of Caazapá, one of Paraguay’s poorest regions.
The community’s population – consisting mainly of German, Austrian and Swiss immigrants – will eventually swell from 150 to 3,000, according to the owners.
The project’s website bills it as “by far the largest urbanization and settlement project in South America”, describing the colony as a refuge from “socialist trends of current economic and political situations worldwide” – as well as “5G, chemtrails, fluoridated water, mandatory vaccinations and healthcare mandates”.
Immigration to the colony has stepped up since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, with residents interviewed on its YouTube channel attributing their move to scepticism about the virus and vaccines.
Some call the wanderlust a reaction to the pervasive pandemic PTSD inflicting the world whereas others identify it as another form of protest akin to what’s happening in Canada.
The DC rally last week being another example.
People have had enough so, they voice their displeasure and the politicians respond to the pressure. As a result, things return to a semblance of normality.
People seek an alternative to mandates and those who provide it flourish, which is why the Dominican Republic is booming.
People who can escape from it all, are creating their own societies, which is why Paraguay is profiting.
People are fighting against something they feel is wrong, know is wrong and are using their trucks to make a statement.
People are gathering and marching to complain, loudly, about the efforts to remove their Constitutional rights by the elites.
One way or another, you push the people long enough, the people push back. Its only a matter of time.
Its about time.
