Those refugees, yes, they're being forced to do so.
As for me, I'm an essential worker (I work in Healthcare), so I have to go out.
In saying all that, I have to stick to the following:-

There are four reasons that you can leave home:
  • Shopping for food or other essential items.
  • To provide care giving, for compassionate reasons or to seek medical treatment.
  • For exercise (outdoor exercise only, with only one other person or members of your household).
  • Work or study, if you cannot work or study from home.

 
Rumor: Covid-19 could cause brain damage:
"Neurologists are on Wednesday publishing details of more than 40 UK Covid-19 patients whose complications ranged from brain inflammation and delirium to nerve damage and stroke. In some cases, the neurological problem was the patient’s first and main symptom."
"One concern is that the virus could leave a minority of the population with subtle brain damage that only becomes apparent in years to come."
 
He listened too much to this album (Neighbours With Aspergus):

I am rooting from the other camp

Ah... the Delta's!
 
New York has a better day:

Rest of the US isn't:
 
Recent researches seems to point out that who already survived the virus, could suffer the most violent form of it if it is taken again.

The virus could revert your antibodies against yourself...

The found reason seems to also explain why children seems mostly immune to its effect, because they have developed less antibodies than adults.

I read in early results that the antibodies aren't active for a long period, only for a month or so. Which could be bad news, as a vaccine assumes you stay safe for a long period of time.
 
They left out a few important details:
- What did he die from?
- How was his health during the COVID party?
- How long after attending the COVID party did he die?

As it stands now and assuming that the news report is true, The anecdote is good evidence that attending COVID parties does not grant immortality but it does not evidence much more than that.

But that's excellent! I can sell you the vaccine once every 2 months! I'm gonna get RICH!
S.B.I. : Subscription based innoculation! (doesn't need to be a needle, can also be a patch on your arm)


You're really forced to stay home? I thought you did so on your own free will.

Peer pressure?

Although at the start of pandemic conditions the vaccine initiatives were going quite well, currently I would be VERY alert about buying it right off the batwhen it appears.
Every day we have news from companies that they're going to invent a vaccine "in a moment" or they are "doing final tests". In some countries more information leaks, and it is found out that the "Tests" were performed using cheap wine and dog piss, only to show that they are doing something. These false claims are made only to make the company's stock market value a bit higher for a moment and go without consequences. More, after a few months of academic research period when results were indeed properly published, companies went back to their secrets again, fueling this entire "anti-vaccine movement" by saying about their work efficiency without papers confirming it (no, "good practice" propaganda is not a scientific paper). OK, maybe it's intentional, to make people think that they think and blindly buy something they not published about and was not audited only to show that they think more than anti-vaccination movement, but this is certainly not a fair move.
So, summing up: At first, we will be buying vaccines from companies caught lying numerous times, only to increase their market value, with no responsibility for it and, the most important, unauditable process. This is even not near the science and invention process. There are lots of vaccines for other diseases, starting from 1950s polio, which have a manufacturing and invention process described and published well and there is literally nothing against auditing current manufacturing of them (except governments). Until late 1980s the papers about these vaccines were accessible, and making secrets of critical substances was out of question. Suddenly, since 1990s, almost nothing.
So I hope not only that someone will invent the vaccine, but I hope that someone will clone it (maybe even Chinese, their engineers know reverse engineering very well) because these clones will be the only source of manufacturer-independent both verification and validation. So this will, in a go-around manner, complete procedure which should be done with every medicine.
 
If they patent it, which they tend to have been doing more recently, then the recipe is published there, just under a guarantee that anyone who tries to make it and sell it in a country that's implementing the berne convention will be sued out of existence pretty pronto. That's not ideal, but there is quite a lot of political pressure at the moment against companies fleecing the market.
 
Ppppfft “immunity booster” \o/ Also, Security would no doubt make him remove the PPE suit...
Still, good effort by ixigo. I wonder what Easter egg was hidden beneath the final ? box before the stairs to the ‘plane
