Yeah, chicken, been working as one since late 2008, working in radiology since 2011.
My part of the country was relatively spared, but I got buddies who work in parts that were hit hard. It's strange to see people go 'oh, it's not so bad' when even for me, a significant part of the workday today was covid-19 related

A 99.7 % survival rate is not a pandemic.

You are correct. Survival rate has nothing to do with the term pandemic. Covid-19 is still a pandemic, though.

I'm glad that covid isn't having as profound an effect in Norway, that does nuance your choice for not going for a vaccine somewhat. But then, you are okay with the restrictions that currently apply in highly populated area like Oslo:

Quote from: https://www.thelocal.no/20201215/new-norway-extends-coronavirus-restrictions-into-january-2021
The measures in place in Oslo are summarised below:

All indoor events are banned.  The only indoor social activity allowed is gatherings in private homes, where there can be up to ten people, if infection control measures are complied with.
Weddings, confirmations and other family gatherings where there are more than ten people are not allowed.
All businesses where cultural and leisure activities take place closed, except libraries.
Cinemas, theatres, playgrounds, gyms, sports and swimming pools closed.
Grass roots sport (breddeidrett) and leisure activities for adults banned.
Bars banned from serving alcohol.
Restaurants can stay open but without serving alcohol.
Passengers and drivers in taxis must wear face masks.
Shops and malls must ensure the number of customers does not prevent two-metre social distancing being maintained.
'Red' level at upper secondary schools and adult education, with reinforced infection control measures and smaller groups.
School grades 8-10 (ungdomsskole) also at the 'red' level of restrictions used by health authorities for schools.
Face masks must be worn on public transport where it is not possible to maintain a social distance of 1 metre.

Not to mention the quarantine people need to be in for 10 days after entering Norway.

Restrictions like that obviously help combatting the spread of the virus. With a vaccine, taken by enough people, that type of restriction won't be necessary anymore.

To get back to the low mortality rate (which for covid is actually higher than what you're suggesting, even in Norway btw), it's a higher mortality rate than that for rubella, which we also vaccinate for. Main reason for that, is to prevent congenital defects if infections happen during pregnancy.

I'm gonna take the vaccine when it's available to me.
I see what covid can do to people every day at work, even if it's a minority of people.

If you're at risk, you take the vaccine to protect yourself.
If you're not at risk, you take it to protect your family who's at risk and friends who are at risk (or their family).
The vaccine has an extremely low risk involved, less than crossing a busy street. Vaccines only work for the population if a high percentage of people take it.

If you're not willing to take an extremely low risk for the benefit of friends and family, you're not a good friend.

It saddens me when people say 'it's just the flu' and my reply is 'you mean the flu that raged across the world in 1918-1920 and killed millions?'.
The ICU in my hospital is half full of people who have a disease that, and I can't stress this enough, did not even exist a little more than one year ago. 100 years of science later, where we put people on the moon, eradicated some diseases entirely, and made it possible for people to talk to others across the world with a tiny device in the palm of their hands.
And yet, here we are, doubting everything science says despite its success story. People are just as dumb as in 1918.

Doesn't count the centiseconds, so wouldn't help with checking the times in the replay. Logs make that easier, though

Rules were written with the thought in mind that people generally don't read long text. Also, exhaustive text that covers everything will mean that by the time you finish reading, the challenge is over  :-X
Added bonus is that gray areas are entirely up to the discretion of the mod, who will use the same criteria while checking every submission.

Rejections... rejections... you just dismiss the fact that I can't program anything advanced and code based and I AM the puppet you are playing with. Neither you want to make Worms MC nor accepted my story builds, shutting their original purpose and making them private in the process. And guess what: Don't want to make Worms software on your will = I'LL FORCE IT AGAINIST YOUR WILL!  Your so-called " encouraging" just makes me mad. And you don't want me mad, right? Get to the tradition that you created, you sleepy deads, or I'll force it, Specter style. You empty talk to me and then think "Oh no, don't call our site " The Ultimate Site of Liars Armageddon" , please." It's a tradition that you created, so you have to do it.

So.
If I have an idea, like: 'Someone needs to shine my shoes.'
Does that mean you're going to do it? Shall I force it against your will?

Pretty much every time someone has an idea, he/she either makes it happen him/herself or it doesn't happen. Just my experience in general.

I mean, you could ask someone specifically to help you with something and that would work, but if you go "someone please do this", nope.
