Well i spoke to a nurse about me getting the 4th booster as I have appointment in June. I had called her regarding another issue but we got on to this. She was practically begging me to get it.

Jambo-Jimbo Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Not every EU country has adopted the new change in rules concerning face masks on EU bound flights and airports, which was supposed to begin today. Germany, Greece, Italy & Spain are keeping the rule, with Italy still requireing FFP2 or better masks to be worn, at least for another month until 15 June. Of course I'd expect the situation could and quite probably will change in the coming days & weeks. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-61463794 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/new-study-finds-omicron-no-less-severe-than-earlier-variants-and-not-just-more-transmissible-11651847345 “Although the unadjusted rates of hospital admission and mortality appeared to be higher in previous waves compared to the Omicron period, after adjusting for confounders including various demographics, Charlson comorbidity index scores, and vaccination status (and holding the healthcare utilization constant), we found that the risks of hospitalization and mortality were nearly identical between periods,” the authors wrote.

With a population that is something like 99% unvaccinated then any strain is going to rip through the population and kill many. Add on the fact that most of the population is malnourished a lot of the time and their health care system is only for the ruling elite, then even young people's ability to fight off disease has to be reduced.
