Austria is about to order a new lockdown, but this time only for people who choose to refuse a vaccine. Everyone else can get on with their lives.

(CNN) — Austria is days away from ordering millions of unvaccinated people to stay at home, its chancellor has said, in a rare move that underscores the increasing exasperation of European leaders towards those who have not yet been inoculated against Covid-19.

Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg told reporters on Friday that the government should give the "green light" for the move this weekend.

"The aim is clear: we want on Sunday to give the green light for a nationwide lockdown for the unvaccinated," Schallenberg said at a news conference in Innsbruck.

He had earlier called the country's vaccination rate "shamefully low," and hinted that the measure would be triggered within days. "In other states that rate is a lot higher -- it is shameful as we have enough vaccines available," Schallenberg said at a separate press conference on Thursday.

1. Good

This is just how it should be. No vaccination card, you can stay at home.

4. More proof that all need to be vaccinated in order to fight these scourges of humankind.

When will everyone finally realize that truly indeed, we are all living together on one planet/one world, and everything we do touches everyone else? That old saying about the wings of a butterfly flapping and thus causing things to happen thousands of miles away seem more and more true.
