“Unvaccinated people in Austria could face new lockdown restrictions if coronavirus case numbers continue to rise, Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg said,” the AP reports.

“Schallenberg announced that if the number of COVID-19 patients in intensive care units reaches 500, or 25% of the country’s total ICU capacity, entry into businesses such as restaurants and hotels will be limited to those who are vaccinated or recovered from the virus.”

“If the number reaches 600, or one-third of total ICU capacity, the government plans to impose restrictions on unvaccinated people. In this case, they would only be allowed to leave their homes for specific reasons.”

It goes to the corruption of the whole modern Republican Party and how Trump

has opened the gates to bad behavior in public, which rots the whole system.

Conservatives always used to say the Roman Empire fell to moral decay.

The moral decay is all republican at this point. They corrupt, have parolees with criminals like Putin. They mock people dying. They legislate the undoing of democracy. Their policies kill so many they refuse to put forth any policy that could be scored. They attract people with personality disorders as politicians. The moral rot is all theirs.

President Biden told the House Democratic caucus that bipartisan infrastructure package “ain’t going to happen until we reach an agreement on the next piece of legislation,” Punchbowl News reports.

Said Biden to reporters: “It doesn’t matter when. It doesn’t matter whether it’s six minutes, six days or six weeks. We’re going to get it done.”

And Democrats around the country should be in the press every day talking about the different bits of the Reconcilliation Bill so it educates and blankets the country with information. Republicans will be screaming to pass it in 6 weeks if we do that.
