That's how I feel too, BreakForTheLight, like my life is on hold.

Well, what I feared seems to be happening. There was a small remote town down south (Laguna Blanca) that was fully vaccinated in February. I guess with the logistics and schedule for vaccinating such a small town it made sense just to vaccinate them as quickly as possible. Anyways, they recently had an outbreak that got up seven new cases in one day, which is a lot for a population of 264 people. They got kicked back to the more restrictive phase 3 from phase 4. The government is blaming interaction with Punta Arenas, a city that has a high rate of infections for the cases. Now, everything we know about Sinovac indicates that it supposedly helps to keep you out of the hospital although it doesn't do much to reduce transmission, so it's not surprising that people got infected. In this case, no one had to be hospitalized so far.


When will the health dictatorship and its restrictions end in this country? The the virus will still be circulating (due to the vaccine being used) and it seems like the government will continue using numbers of active cases as one of the main indicators for implementing or reducing restrictions. In theory, the lockdowns are to reduce stress on the hospitals. In this case no one is hospitalized, but they are still ramping up the restrictions on the town. When does it end? If more people only have asymptomatic or mild infections akin to a cold or flu, are they still going lock us down? It's absurd.
