“Restrictions not very effective at limiting pandemic,” says Polish health minister

-

 The number of covid cases and deaths caused by the virus in Poland is rapidly growing. Since two days, Poland is recording over 28 000 new cases and today the deaths' cases reached 497 (which is the most since early may). Although Poland's situation with the Covid-19 virus looks really bad, our government does not seem to care at all. Mister Niedzielski (our health minister) says that restrictions are not necessary and could even be counterproductive. He also claims that the situation is not that bad because last year at that time 22 000 people with covid were hospitalised while now the number is only 19 000. Niedzielski maintained his opinion by saying that restrictions are much less effective than vaccines (to comparison to last year when there was in Poland a strong lockdown). He also said that the percentage of vaccinated Poles is 60% and with adding the people who are post covid and have antibodies, the percentage reaches 70-75% which provides a ,strong population immunity'.

I think that what Polish government is doing right now is just inhuman. If the restrictions, as he said, are nor really working then why is, taking as an example, Austria having a total lockdown right now? One year ago more people were hospitalised also because at that time we had a peak of the 3rd wave while now, as the experts say, we have not reached it yet. Being vaccinated makes you go through the illness less strong as you would without it. The spread of the virus is also lower but it does not mean that it is equaled to 0. People with antibodies can go through covid once again and spread it widely. The situation in Poland is dramatical. The government is not listening to what the doctors are saying simply because they do not want to loose their voters and they want to maintain their goal. By their ignorance to this subject many innocent people will loose their health and lives.

    Where is the link to the source?
    Adding to the problem is the fact that the resistance to the virus we got from vaccinations seems to last shorter than we thought. So there maybe be a lot of vaccinated people who have already lost their immunity and don't realise that.

The worst things about living in Iceland

The worst things about living in Iceland  We all know that Iceland is a country of beautiful nature and breathtaking views but we may find some flaws. Iceland is an island so the transport is limited either with the food or with basic use products. You can have huge problems with ordering and buying stuff on the internet. The delivery takes a really long time and it is also really expensive! And to top it all, when picking up the package from the post, you have to pay half the price of the package, so for example when you buy some clothes for 150$ so you will have to pay 75$ to the post. Everything in Iceland is really expensive. All of your money can go just for the gaz to your car! You can realize that for example when a good pair of leggings costs 50$ in the USA (which is still expensive), in Iceland it may cost at least 100$. But the country is so expensive because the minimal pay in Iceland is much higher than in Europe or in the States. The weather in Iceland may be really extrem

 5 most interesting volcanoes in Iceland We all know that Iceland is mostly popular because of many dormant and active volcanoes. Today I would like to present couple of the most interesting in my opinion. The first one is Krafla . It lays in the north Iceland and it is surrounded by steaming vents boiling mud pools and bubbling hot springs which create unique views. Although the volcano is frequently active, it is a home to a coldwater lake that has a beautiful emerald color. The next volcano I find really interesting is the Oarefajokull volcano. Its is located on the southeastern coast of Iceland. What makes it so unique and beautiful, you may ask. Well, the volcano is covered in a blindingly bright white glacier. From the top of the volcano you are able to see the coastal cliffs and the famous Black Sand Beach! The next really beautiful volcano is the Askja volcano. You can reach it only by traversing Odadahraun-the largest lava field and volcanic desert in Iceland! Not only the jo

It was discovered accidentally by the Vikings about 1,100 years ago. Another interesting and unknown thing about Iceland is that many of its citizens believe in trolls and elves! All the fairytales have begun at the time of the Vikings and were passed down from generation to generation till nowadays The next fact surely will make happy all the environmentalists.
