Welp, things are looking
bad here in Austria. Really bad.
Especially here in Upper Austria - we're at
98% ICU capacity in hospitals, contact tracing and testing has been overwhelmed for a long time, but of course we've only started a "Lockdown Light" last week, and of course after Halloween and All Saints, so that the people could party a final time before the lockdown started

They've just announed that they're going to stop testing contact persons of someone who tested positive unless they have symptoms and call. And even before that it took like a week between the call that you maybe had symptoms and getting test results.
A lot of people just don't give a fuck (anymore), schools are open, shopping centres are open, public transport is open, home-office is only optional, etc. We needed a hard lockdown weeks ago, now I fear it's too late to stop it before the health system gets overwhelmed.
Our government apparently did fuck all during the summer to prepare, is completely failing now (in my opinion) and the people are idiots too, a recipe for disaster.
And here I thought we did pretty well during the first wave, but apparently it was just a case of "even a broken clock is right twice a day".
This sucks.
