Germany has reported the highest number of deaths from coronavirus since mid-February as hospitals warn that the country could have 6,000 people in intensive care by Christmas, more than the peak of last winter.
The holiday season has been difficult for the Sperry family after losing their 10-year-old daughter in September.
âMy daughterâs two favorite holidays were Christmas and Halloween,â said Jeff Sperry, whose family lives in Virginia. âHalloween was hard because we got her a mask and carved her a pumpkin. We took it to her grave, and I took some candy out there for her. I could tell you for Christmas itâs going to be hard.â
People went shopping on Saturday before the lockdown was announced
The Netherlands has announced a strict lockdown over Christmas amid concerns over the Omicron coronavirus variant.
Non-essential shops, bars, gyms hairdressers and other public venues will be closed until at least mid-January. Two guests per household will be allowed - four over the holidays.
Prime Minister Mark Rutte said the measures were âunavoidableâ.
Countries across Europe have been tightening restrictions as the heavily mutated variant spreads.
The new rules in the Netherlands - the strictest to have been announced over Omicron so far - come into force on Sunday.
âI stand here tonight in a sombre mood. And a lot of people watching will feel that way too,â Mr Rutte told a news conference on Saturday. âTo sum it up in one sentence, the Netherlands will go back into lockdown from tomorrow.â

Requesting prayers for one of our own in this community facing Covid.
Sorry for not replyingI am with covid at the hospital. Just in case, it has been great to have met all of you. I love you.
Never thought I would see this posted here, and I hope if you can, people get vaccinated! Itâs the only way to fight back this mess going on in the world. May she return home and back here healthy and safe.
This thread is hidden! @angelight313_168
Did anyone notice?
Irmar is in my prayers!
I am waiting to see her here as soon as possible.
Yes @jeslynl did that on December 8, and didnât had the courtesy to explain why she did that. She also deleted two of my answer to other people, but the ones I ââflaggedââ she completely ignores me and keeps their insults to me⊠I have no idea how can she do those things with no respect shown on her part. I requested prayer for @irmar and no one can see it. Iâm trying to make people aware that the vaccine is important and saves life, and I hope irmar had the vaccine bc surviving that is a miracle in itself. Thanks for the prayers. I wonder how sheâs doing. No matter what that virus is horrible since I took care of ppl and they agonized in pain. Itâs sad to see in person.
UNLISTED DEC 8
When I tried writing to @jeslynl to ask her why she unlisted my thread all I get is a message that sheâs not answering (my) messages.
Actually, thereâs a guideline not to post anything about COVID here.
May be this thread got unlisted because of that reason.
Those guidelines a few weeks ago were deleted they were posted by @mariliam (working in another dept. now), and I donât think they no longer apply here. Also, Iâm talking about the importance of the vaccine, not covid19 statistics etc⊠Also, I am showing the controversy between the choices different countries make, and many of them, are now regretting. My cousin refused the vaccine, and we just buried a 59 year old man with a big, gorgeous family. He did enjoyed life to the fullest , but it was too soon to leave his family. RIP DAVID.
When you are trying to help humanity come to light to certain dangers in life; it should not be used against the person writing the thread. If you promote hate, discord thatâs a different story. Bringing Awareness towards something thatâs killing people is a good deed. A lot of people are dead for refusing to get the vaccine. Although itâs a choice to get it, and it is your life, but it is good to make people aware of some known facts.
GETTING THE VACCINE IS WHATâS SAVING LIFE AT THIS MOMENT.
I hope @irmar. got the vaccine bc if she didnât get the vaccine, even though she might survive, the health suffers so much more traumas to the body. People have committed suicide because they canât take the long time health issues they stay with, after getting this
dreadful virus.
I know several people that are alive today thanks to getting the vaccine, encouraged by me. Those who refused the vaccine as you can see in my post are long gone. Surviving this virus is not luck, is making the right choices. We have science so advanced today and we can survive what others couldnât in the past due to the lack of the advances in science we have available now.
Another thing, they say it causes infertility in women and men, but my personal nurse got the vaccine after she got covid back in April, and almost died was in ICU for 3 months. Last week she told me sheâs 14 weeks pregnant after having her son 14 years ago which sends the infertility theory down the drain. SPREAD THE WORD. If anything, my nurse thinks the vaccine helped her get pregnant. lol
A YOUNG GIRL MADE HER CHOICE TO GET VACCINATED AND HERE IS WHY.
THE ONES THAT STICK TO THEIR BELIEF END UPâŠ
Two siblings were brutally honest about their brotherâs death from COVID-19, calling it âneedlessâ because he didnât believe in masks, testing, the vaccine or even the virus.
In an obituary posted in The Daily Gazette , the two siblings explained that their brother, Michael Joseph Malecki, âneedlessly diedâ of COVID-19 on November 15. They said he was sick for less than 48 hours before his death and partially blamed the mentality he used for living for why he died.
âHe liked to say he lived his life according to his favorite songs, âMy Wayâ and âI Gotta Be Me.â He was certainly him, and it probably killed him,â the siblings wrote.
My Way , by Frank Sinatra, details the life of a man who lived his life on his own terms and according to what he believed in without making apologies for it. Although his life hasnât always been easy and heâs taken some âblowsâ along the way, heâs overall content with how his life has turned out because he never compromised his beliefs. I Gotta Be Me has a similar sentiment, where a person can only be who they are and isnât living their life to please other people.
Michael was 70 when he died, putting him at an increased risk of getting severely ill from COVID-19. His siblings wrote in his obituary that he didnât like going to funerals or services related to death and attended few, so they decided not to have a memorial service for him.
Billie Eilish is opening up about her bout with COVID-19 and the side effects sheâs still experiencing months later.
âI didnât die, and I wasnât gonna die, but that does not take away from how miserable it was. It was terrible,â Eilish said. âI still have side effects. I was sick for, like, two months almost.â
The seven-time Grammy Award winner credited the vaccine as the reason sheâs now âfine,â adding, âI think if I werenât vaccinated, I would have, like, died, because it was bad ⊠When I say it was bad, I more just mean that it felt horrible. But really, in the scheme of COVID, it was not bad. You know what I mean? When youâre sick, you feel fâing horrible.â
Hi,
No one will notice the posts you put in this thread.
Thankyou for creating awareness among our community!
I got vaccinated already!
Happy new year!
Iâm worried about irmar too, itâs about a monthâŠ
Letâs pray and wait for her.
I only know dudie. piranna was not active, when I first visited discussions. And i didnât see her since then.
Dudieâs last project was doom at your service, we can just hope that sheâs doing well.
Letâs wait for their comeback.
IF you can get the vaccine and booster. Itâs our choice, and we are so blessed mankind had the means to make a vaccine that can save life. Like the FLU vaccine some has died from it, but MANY more has lived bc they got it. If you donât want to is okay, is your choice. It doesnât make women infertile. I have a nurse who got pregnant months after getting the vaccine and Booster.
The last thing @jeslynl did before she left her post here was that she UNLISTED a thread I had where I showed how important it was to get vaccinated. I think that any thread POSTED to try to save lives should be part of this here at DISCUSSION. I know so many people that DIED bc they refused to get the vaccine. So many regrets, but too late is the regret.
Vaccination is a choice we ALL have, and I hope you are ONE MORE that give yourself a chance to LIVE.
Christian Cabrera, 40, from California, who used to be a social media handle and stage name âChinaâs best friend,â tested positive for COVID-19 at some point after Christmas.
However, the father of his three-year-old son was âskeptical of the science behind the vaccine and neverâ never âgets sick,â and according to his brother Jino Cabrera, he was not vaccinated with the coronavirus vaccine. âŠ
âI canât breathe again,â Cabrera wrote last Thursday.
âI really regret not being vaccinated. If I could do it again, I would do it with a heartbeat to save my life.â
Cabrera died on January 14, after succumbing to pneumonia in both lungs caused by the coronavirus. The day after he posted a disappointing Instagram post that he wanted to be vaccinated.
