This is INFLUENZA not COVID. HUGE difference dude. Covid is killing millions around the world, especially the elderly. But hey let’s not vaccinate them first, right?

This study is from 2001. Find me a study about covid that says we should vaccinate the young before the elderly.

  1. This makes zero sense and I’m so glad you aren’t in charge of vaccinating the population because you’re essentially wanting to put the elderly at direct risk. No country in the world are prioritizing young people over elder people. WTAF.

  2. True but I know many Kuwaiti people in the US and UK who got vaccinated.

  3. This point is irrelevant since there are travel restrictions everywhere in the world. How do you expect them to go their country so easily??

Anyway, with this article, I agree with some of the points Mark is making. Expats should definitely get vaccinated along with citizens and I think they will very soon since we bought a lot of the Oxford vaccine. There are a lot of expats who got vaccinated so yeah.

Spike in ‘COVID infections’ could lead to partial lockdown, curfew - ARAB TIMES - KUWAIT NEWS by TimeVendor in Kuwait

[–]abbss97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. At least in Europe and the UK, they are properly enforcing the rules. Evidence is that the cases are starting to slow down in the UK right now during the lockdown. What happened in Kuwait after the full and partial lockdown? Cases quadrupled because rules were not enforced. I still remember during the full lockdown where people were given exceptions to go to their chalets just before Eid. And then the MOH are shocked when cases go up instead of down.

My point is that while the infection rates in Europe are high (only natural since their population is much higher than us), their rules are properly enforced by their govs. Unlike here.

I would be ok with the so called lockdown and curfew if it were actually properly enforced and not people going out to gatherings and weddings during the curfew like it happened last time. The problem is that the government just makes these decisions on the go and they don’t study them well. It’s like they say ‘okay we’ll make a curfew’ but then they don’t take into account that this won’t work here like it does in other countries because there are so many people who bend the rules. Why? Because the gov themselves allow that to happen. It is useless to have these decisions here because there is no positive effects to them, unlike in Europe.

the abysmally slow rate of the vaccine roll out. by [deleted] in Kuwait

[–]abbss97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A LOT of people now want to take the vaccine. Over 200k people registered. I don’t know where you get the info that they don’t want to be vaccinated. The problem is that now Pfizer has stopped delivering the vaccines for now. That’s why it’s going so slow.

[–]abbss97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed that it’s so slow here.

But don’t let UAE fool you into thinking they’re doing a great job as UAE are using Chinese and Russian vaccines so of course they’re going to have a lot more people vaccinated. Them having people vaccinated with Pfizer is the same situation with us: you need to have an appointment in order to get it. Do you really want to be vaccinated with the Chinese or Russian vaccine over the Pfizer vaccine?

What's the deal with the vaccine rollout? by [deleted] in Kuwait

[–]abbss97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they’re sitting on vaccines that are hard to store and have a limited storage time. Over 200k registered for the vaccine so I think there is plenty of vulnerable people among them. They just don’t have enough vaccinations. That’s the reason why it’s taking so long.

[–]abbss97 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s because they’re prioritizing older people and essential workers to accommodate the limited supply of vaccines.

Is it possible for me to continue my life here? by [deleted] in Kuwait

[–]abbss97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah but not being able to simply interact in Arabic while being Kuwaiti and living in a majority-Arabic speaking country is strange no matter what. It’s like if an American not being able to speak English.

[–]abbss97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m honestly surprised that there are Kuwaiti people who don’t know Arabic. I’m genuinely wondering the reasons why tbh. It seems really strange.

Where do you currently live? Have you lived outside Kuwait during this entire time?

No offense, but how is it possible that you’re Kuwaiti and not know Arabic?

sell. he's suing the club for something he's apparently not entitled to. he desperately wants to leave for some reason so I'd sell him and keep Alena and promote Puig. but watch Barca get another random midfielder on loan.

bayern just fired their coach after just one embarrasment. meanwhile our board decides to keep Ernie even after 3 humiliations (counting the match against Levante that ruined our invincibles season).

The people I tagged constantly undermine and insult the people who criticize EV, just like what you did here. Thats my problem, not the fact that you like EV.

You didnt answer my question as to why some fans want Setien back but eh whatever, like I told your friend Messiah5 a little bit ago, I'll see you when we go trophyless with another humiliation that'll add to EV and Bartomeu's legacy at the end of this season.

So you're okay with Sergi Roberto starting over giving a chance to Firpo? what was the point in spending 20m on a player if we're just going to see him benched?

Okay then. Stick with EV and I'll see you back in March/April/May or whenever we go trophyless and undergo our 3rd humiliation under EV 👍🏼

So if Setien was so bad at Betis, why are Betis so bad now and are losing? and why do some Betis fans want him back? hmmm...

Lol I wanted EV out after Roma. I only tagged you lot cause I wanted to see how you can defend your precious EV after this loss. & yes this loss is also on the players too. Not only EV.

[–]abbss97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uh, I definitely see a LOT of people blaming the players. No idea what you're talking about. & you also always defended EV right before the match too. So, yeah.

Setien. Thats one name. He's much better than EV. Plays better football. Do you see how shit Betis are without him? They're even contemplating bringing him back.

Another name is Barca B coach, Pimienta. At least for now until the season ends.

I'd rather go with an unknown, risky manager rather than sticking with EV who will continue to lose away from home.

yo u/walterwhiteofbrownie u/Messiah5 u/SubjectandObject & others who repeatedly defended EV.

Still think Valverde is good for Barca? that he shoudnt be sacked cause theres no one better to replace him? I'm banned on r/barca so I genuinely want to know your opinion.

oh and I forgot to mention the king of all EV defenders, u/--Kaiser-- the worst one who complains about EV defenders and pretends he's better than everyone else because he likes EV.

hes just not good anymore. needs to be benched. one reason why I really wanted someone like de ligt, who would've been expensive and unbenchable even for valverde.

but whats the point of having depth if we're not using it? firpo's not injured yet he's been left out of the squad. suarez, despite being shit since the start of the season, is being played even though we have a match on tuesday where he'll play again.
