Daily Life with Covid Pass in Lithuania and Europe

  Denmark: ~80% adult vax rate, 6M population
  NYC: ~80% adult vax rate, 9M population
  Flat metrics for both

NYC is firing nurses and teachers who have immunity, while retaining vaccinated nurses and teachers who can be infected and transmit. Vax passes causing 40% revenue reduction for some restaurants - and that's before winter closes outdoor seating. No option to prove immunity or negative test.

Thanks to to Denmark for their sane example.

We Danes do pride ourselves of "samfundssind" (community sense) and pragmatic solutions (also in politics). We are obviously not a dream society but in the grand scale of things our nation putters along just fine and most people are happy about most of our society (including the politicians which regularly does "over the middle" deals with not much drama)..

We do have the covid-app too, but it is currently totally unused (I believe)

The app gave you a "pass" based on one of four criterias:

- some days until some months (still being determined) after positive PCR test (i.e. sick and recovered)

- some days after first vaccination until some month (TBD) after last vaccination (i.e. vaxxed)

- short time (2 or 3 days, as I remember) after a negative PCR test

- even shorter (1 or 2 days, I think) after negative quick test

But as said, I cannot think of anywhere, where I would need to prove it anymore anyways (I am fully vaxxed btw).
