The COVID-19 Blues
All together now…
loopdokter Maybe in Canada people were still scared to sit on a toilet seat, but that was quickly debunked this end. Ultimately, if you and whoever you were being fucked by wore a condom, you didn’t get it. I get their are exceptions to that rule with needles, but even then you can set some simple rules up.
I don’t recall having an entire year of holidays and trips away, or ad revenues going off a fucking cliff because of AIDS either.
From any docs I’ve watched on AIDS it seems it really only terrorised the Gay community, the largest majority of society were completely ambivalent as it didn’t affect them. AIDS is even lower on the scale than Ebola I would say. I remember there being genuine panic when there was rumours it had entered the country.
Nothing is comparable to Covid in around 100 years, not just because of the disease but because of the economic impact, as Grant mentioned. Even the lockdown part was mental when you think about it, not able to leave your house? Think about that for a second. There’s never been anything close to that.

It’s the closest thing I can think of in terms of the level of people being scared. Even locally when SARS was kicking off (behind China Toronto was the largest affected area) this doesn’t even come close.
I just meant there are some parallels in terms of mixed messaging, fear, science changing rapidly, etc. Obviously this pandemic is much greater in terms of scale and outright effect it’s having on people, economies, etc.
The other more cynical part of me wonders (as horrible as it may be) if this is nature’s way of righting overpopulation?
loopdokter Overpopulation. Bill Gates. Autism. Globalists. AIDS. Jumpers for Goalposts. The list goes on.
Maybe it’s nature’s way of telling people not to eat wild animals from wet markets or cut down rainforests or work in meat processing plants.
Back during the height of Prog, when everyone were on the bangers, were was Covid then I ask? Some may call that a coincidence. I don’t.
Coronavirus is basically Guy J’s fault.

So what you’re saying is that I should go back to my incessant blagging, dribbling, off my face old self instead of just my incessant blagging and name dropping?
Here I was thinking my previous behaviour wasn’t a good look and was partially why I never got on the cover of DJ Mag or Mixmag.
Read the Bedrock facemask thread on S&D groupies FB page if you’re feeling blue. It’ll lighten your mood.

The search function won’t deliver the real thread, so I will just ask it here: whats up with BA.5? Seeing a lot of alarm sounding. Is this legit or just people missing out on their COVID clicks and bookings?
There’s another varient in India Omicron 2.75 not sure how bad it is though
zackster I was reading this morning about how much more transmittable it is, how much nastier the symptoms are compared to early Omicron variants and how it is good at bypassing immune systems of people that have already either had covid or have had vaccinations/boosters. We are experiencing a surge here in California mostly down to this new variant.
zackster it’s a piece of piss. It’s a cold tops.
Supposedly it has surpassed the measles as the most transmittable disease ever
