When the weather warms up, you want to travel but you can’t

The number of patients with Covid-19 in Kaunas is 100,000. the population has already reached 261 in 14 days and the new morbidity curve is gradually increasing. While country leaders are talking about possible releases from quarantine restrictions, it may only remain in tongues if the number of cases starts to rise significantly. What Kaunas residents think about these trends we asked passersby on the streets.

“It just came to our notice then. The sooner grandparents, risk groups, teachers, police officers and other staff members and the transition to mass vaccination can get vaccinated, the better for everyone. I’m tired of those restrictions and quarantine, but what you’ll do is wait, “said a middle-aged IT specialist.

He said he felt the most discomfort due to the movement restrictions. When the weather warms up, I would like to go to the sea with my family, but it is not allowed yet.

“I don’t blame the authorities, I understand that these restrictions make sense. I myself am waiting for the vaccine, I could afford it and the income allows it. Therefore, getting angry when people start work, report the fever, get scared and reject the vaccine. You could distribute the unused vaccines to those who really want them, ”said the programmer.

More intensive information campaigns are lacking

“I think Lithuania should learn a lot from Israel. Many of my family and friends live there, it is a bit jealous because finally they can visit bars, restaurants, meet friends and enjoy life. In the summer the children will be vaccinated, but here just because the government has bought many vaccines, they are enough for everyone who wants them, “said a student from Kaunas who studies at the residence hall.

The doctor said she hoped not only for the mass vaccination of the population that would one day begin, but also for a broader information campaign. According to her, in the absence of factual information, people are increasingly inclined to believe questionable sources of information.

“I’m too scared of side effects, I’m talking about Astra Zeneca here. I really don’t understand the logic, if a person is hot every day, he feels bad, what will happen to him? Is it better not to get vaccinated at all and to remain unconscious in a “covidean” resuscitation with a lung ventilator connected? The choice is difficult to understand, “said the Kaunas resident.

The elderly have been vaccinated, but their friends are scared by the complications.

A respectable couple of Kaunas residents said about the fact that there were not very pleasant sensations after the vaccination.

“When we were vaccinated, my wife was fine and I was nauseous, I felt weak, the temperature was high. Now we are waiting for the second vaccination, it will be quite calm ”, said the senior.

How can the increasingly discussed side effects affect the scope of vaccination itself? The old man answered this question based on his personal experience. According to Kaunas residents, there are some among their acquaintances who, in principle, refuse to be vaccinated.

“It just came to our attention then. The same thing happens to them, whether they die from the ‘crown’ or from the vaccine. So, they don’t want to get vaccinated, they still want to live. Children persuade, but they still stick to their own. A relative also told me that I would move my legs after the vaccination, but I am still alive and I want to live, ”said the old man.

His wife said she knew more than one skeptic who tried to speak, but found it very difficult to do so.

“It just came to our knowledge then. But you have to take advantage of the fact that it invites a total vaccination. If you give up and hope for something, you may not have anything left,” Grandma said.

He assures that he does not want to be “part of the herd”

“I think in my head and nobody will force me to get vaccinated with experimental vaccines. After all, mass hysteria is happening here now, or you don’t understand it yourself, you are part of this whole circus, ”said a middle-aged Kaunas resident.

The man mentioned a healthy life, exercise, so his body should fight Covid-19 himself. He also said that he had enough information about the “drug mafia” and its desire to profit from alleged man-made emergencies.

“We just realized that those vaccines are safe. And who can say what their long-term impact will be, in a few years or more. People become experimental rabbits, they still want to register everyone as animals, give special numbers. to vaccinated people, “green passports.” Why should you agree to experiment with me?

Waiting for information about children’s learning

Although primary school students in Kaunas are already studying in person, allowing their parents, or more precisely one of them, to return to work, no one knows how long this situation will last.

“I already take my son to school, I can dedicate more time to work. Anyone who has children in elementary school should understand that distance learning is not such an easy task for parents. Now we are talking about massive tests of children, because it is not clear what the situation will be after Easter, when the students’ holidays are over, ”said the young Kaunas.

The woman said she saw nothing wrong with getting a weekly test needed not only for her son but for other family members as well, but she was concerned about the increase in calls to waive testing.

“In the group of fathers of the social network, several mothers have already been agitated before the regular tests. I really do not understand what is feared there. So far there is not much information, it is not clear what will happen if the parents of al At least some students do not allow their children to be evaluated. Will it not happen that then the whole class will have to return to distance education, or part will learn in the classroom, part at a distance “, commented the interlocutor.

The woman said she has not yet received information from the school’s leadership, and similar topics are relevant not only to her but also to many parents. The interviewee hoped that more official information would be provided in the near future.
