We're All Doomed!™ (the Conquest, War, Famine, and Death Thread)

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Which is fine, but I wasn't buying the "same as the flu" meme posted earlier.

I was originally just going to post that things seem to be getting back to normal in Norway and bang it out on my keyboard myself but I thought the meme was a real eye popper.

I guess I kinda figured folks would be happy to see things getting back to normal in parts of Europe but clearly I don't know my audience very well... :look:

All covid measures lifted here in Norway from tomorrow.

Oslo removed everything with immediate effect from today.

No social distancing, no masks, no mandatory vaccines, no covid passport.

I’m very thankful for living in a country that hasn’t abandoned sanity completely.

Croatia seems to calling it quits too.

No more jabs...
Misleading and partly a lie. Norway is lifting restrictions within the country, but travel restrictions to entry the country remain. In no way have they reevaluated the gravity of the disease; they know it is dangerous, but the vast majority of Norwegians have now been vaccinated, so it is possible to start returning to normalcy. This is not unique. Denmark did the same a werk ago, and Sweden will lift restrictions on Sep 29th. This has been made possible thanks to the vaccine programme.

If you want to travel from eg Canada or the USA to Norway you may still need to quarantine at a hotel for ten days, european citizens with a vaccine passport can enter freely though.

Additionally,in Norway if you contract the virus you must socially isolate; another important distinction.

Here in BC we're over eighty percent vaccinated among the twelve and over population and nearly ninety percent of us have had the first jab of the vaxx regimen and yet we seem to be moving in quite the opposite direction toward segregation and further restriction. So it seems to be a matter of opinion as to what is possible given a heavily vaccinated populace.

Yeah. I'm a bit worried about eliminating all covid restrictions in Sweden come Wednesday. :|

Not for myself; I've had the disease and I have had two shots of Moderna since, so if anyone is protected, it's me; but for the risk of a surge in cases overwhelming the hospitals, causing needless deaths.

Yet on the other hand I'm super excited about hockey being played in sold out stadiums again. The fans add another dimension to the game, and Björklöven plays in a smallish arena (capacity 5400) that is almost always sold out and where the fans are so close to the ice they get in the face of the opponents, which helps scare the shit out of some of the more inexperienced players...
Seriously, it is often said that both Modo and Björklöven have an added home court advantage from playing in small crowded stadiums with extremely loud fans.



... and this ^ is before they even drop the puck...!
The first 1.30 you don't here the fans that well, because they're mostly just singing along with the music being played, but around 2.17 the Modo players take the ice, welcomed by loud booing- Then the fans start chanting "you can go to hell!" and then after a while they switch to just chanting "Björklöven! Björklöven! Björklöven, Björklöven, Björklöven! Björklöve-en! Björklöve-en! Björklöven, oh, Björklöven!" 8-)

Damn! Wish I were there! :|

I assume his phone must have been possessed by a demon.

Good thing Don could perform an exorcism. :thumbs:
