Yes, as Higgs ably covered, however fortunately I'm a permanent public sector employee and won't qualify/need it.
At this stage we're only in hard lockdown for the next six days.

Also, 'fortnightly' is clearly the correct and preferable term here.
'Bi-weekly' is confusing and strange.

-A European research estimates Belgium has only detected 10% of its total infections.
-We've had 500.000 cases.
-We have 10 million inhabitants.
That would mean half of this country already got it. Crazy how we fucked it up so badly... twice...

People worship masks and the public health people are already saying they need to be worn even after the vaccine rollout. This shit is basically a religion now.
