This is apartheid, but I'm glad that it's not as strict as in Australia, Canada, France, Israel etc. But I wish we would have chosen the same path as the other Nordic countries.
"While it remains to be seen how widespread use of the pass will be, the types of establishments which could request the pass include: sports venues, gyms, swimming pools, theatres, museums and similar cultural spaces as well as bars, restaurants and nightclubs."
@tanjaostman Last summer in Italy they introduced the pass as now in Finland. Then in September for those who work in schools and from 15 October for all workers. I hope that in Finland they do not do as in Italy. I pray that everything can go back to normal, in the name of Jesus.
@faith20 I appreciate your prayers! What's going on in our world feels like a bad dream, that I hope to wake up from... Yesterday I shared a post with my Facebook friends (it was in Finnish) of a medical doctor. She had signed a petition to the public health authorities and government about not giving the vaccine to children. It was initiated and written by several Finnish researchers, professors, MDs and others. She was fired from her job only for signing that!! How are you and your wife doing now as you have lost your jobs?
@tanjaostman Sometimes I use google translate. I apologize if the translation is not perfect.
@tanjaostman @faith20 , I would never have guessed you're both non- native English speakers! You're amazing!
Our 4 sons are learning beginner Hebrew and are quick, but I struggle to remember even single words! Keep up the good language skills.👍
@Williams_girl @faith20 thanks for the encouragement! I've always loved English and it was one of my favorite subjects in school. For a Swedish speaker, it's not extremely difficult. There are so many similar words, and expressions. I read somewhere that the Scandinavian languages and English have the same roots. If you look at a map, you can see that Great Britain and Norway are really close. They were traveling a lot between these countries on the sea.
I'm impressed with your son's learning Hebrew! That is so different from English.
@tanjaostman , yes, it is so different.
@faith20 I think your English is great! At least for me as a non-native speaker... I understand exactly what you mean when you write, so just keep on writing! I also often hesitate when I write... sometimes I google if the expression I use is right, or if it's just something that I have made up. Sometimes I have to check the spelling of certain words. The more I write, the better I get... I read a lot, but since I don't regularily produce English (and have never lived in an English speaking country), it doesn't always come easily.
