COVID Is Canceling Christmas—Again BAH HUMBUG

There will be no New Year’s Eve fireworks in Paris, no Sinterklaas in the Netherlands, and no travel from the U.K. How COVID has once again f**ked up Christmas.

For the second straight year, Christmas is looking like a horrible holiday season with lockdowns, cancellations and packed emergency rooms again spreading over Europe and foreshadowing what is heading to the United States.

The Netherlands will be locked down until at least the first week of January after a surge in Omicron cases that started with doomed flights from southern Africa less than a month ago has now overwhelmed the health care system. “I stand here tonight in a somber mood. And a lot of people watching will feel that way too,” Prime Minister Mark Rutte said Saturday evening announcing the cancellation of Christmas fun. “To sum it up in one sentence, the Netherlands will go back into lockdown from tomorrow.”

In Italy, which kicked off the pandemic outside China in early 2020, cases are doubling every three or four days. Delta is still the dominant variant, meaning hospitalizations and deaths are almost certain. New Year’s Eve concerts have been cancelled, travel has been discouraged and soon even the vaccinated will have to provide a negative COVID test to see a movie or attend a sporting event.

The U.K. has been struggling to keep up with cases, which are nearing 95,000 a day, with many saying almost everyone in London will have COVID before winter is over. There hospitalizations have started to worry health care providers, yet the government promises they won’t lock down before Christmas. London mayor Sadiq Khan declared the latest wave a “major incident” which is a label often reserved for terror attacks and other lethal threats to the city.

France has seen cases surge, prompting the government to cancel the famous fireworks over the Eiffel Tower in Paris to kick off the new year. They have also banned any but essential travel from the U.K., stranding thousands of people hoping to join family on continental Europe. France will soon convert its health pass to a vaccine pass, meaning a COVID test alone won’t open any doors.

Germany, which was the epicenter of the Delta variant outbreak all fall, is starting to see more Omicron cases. They, too have shut out the Brits, complicating the holidays for an untold number.

Denmark is closing theaters, cinemas, stadiums, amusement parks and museums and bringing back a curfew and limitations to the number of people who can sit together in restaurants. Ireland is closing pubs at 8 pm and limiting capacity to all public events.

The list goes on. Last year was a holiday season like no other with the world grinding to a halt to stop the spread of what was then the second wave of the pandemic. The promise of vaccines gave 2021 hope, but the year is ending with another grim holiday season and a sense of dread about what 2022 will bring.

All part of the plan to mentally and financially destroy the non elite.

EVERYTHING IS CLOSED HERE. Except supermarkets, and banks and stuff.

Hell yeah.


Florida and Texas ain't closing for sht.

Meanwhile in SC life is business-as-usual other than a few people wearing masks and has been all year.

This is the right attitude.

Sad to see that parts of Europe are shutting down again due to COVID. They still haven't figured a good plan for dealing with the virus. Sometimes I wonder if they even want a solution.

Thanks Elon

Where my check

Free covid cash for everyone.

And by everyone I mean plebs in the peanut gallery making less than 75k/yr.

Yup, they're closing restaurants and bars at 8pm, some are even closing earlier at 5pm.

Apparently Covid only comes out at night boyos.

You guise had lockdowns?

Besides a few soybois wearing masks you wouldn't ever know there was a scamdemic here

I've been going to the gym mask-less since May 2020 here in Missouri. For the most part, no one cares.

Regarding OPs post, they're just continuing their never ending crusade to put an end to Christmas on al fronts. Take this, for instance-https://slate.com/human-interest/202...to-adults.html

I'm in cuckcentral aka the Netherlands. Can't have chit here. Fuking hate 80% ofphags here

Except I visited Dallas (Plano) over the summer and they made me wear a mask at a nail salon. Nowhere else just there.

Just two more weeks

Here in Quebec we're still open but half the crowd

I doubt we are going to stay open much longer to be honest

bizarre, life is completely normal here and has been basically the entire time lol

you had your nails done sweetie?

Just wait until you get descended upon by blue haired libs trying to escape the lockdowns they currently support.

People in idaho would laugh and bitch slap them out of the way.

I have seen some boomers who are visibly happy about this.

Someone’s aware

Quick reminder: Covid didnt fuk up the holidays, that was your karen neighbors and all the liberals and leftists and people who are buying into this globohomo takeover bullchit.

If people resisted this would go away, but they are just as complicit as the ones pulling the strings because the people supporting this crap are enabling our freedoms to be taken away.

People keep saying "when this is all over..." but at this point dont seem to realize this will NEVER be all over if they keep supporting fear mongering.

I was dropping someone off that time. But what's wrong with wanting nice nails?

Idaho lib slapper checking in. Wore my Lets go brandon shirt to gym other day. Got like 4 compliments and multiple fist bumps in the 40 min I was there.

That's the same mentality these "health expert" parasites have. "If I can't have this, nobody ekse can either".

Fukn LoL

Feels nice to have sane people around me for the most part. I moved here as a young kid from Seattle and hated moving away from the ocean, but as time has gone on I can see it was a good move.
