Back on topic and the mask wearing and vaccine passport thing in New York is fantastic. Works well. Not seen any people try and claim exemption. Helps that it’s chuffing freezing so masks keep you warm!

Totally different vibe to the U.K.

Even need to show it to get brekky in the hotel

    Has Benson really just strode in here in his red trousers and put a doctor’s scribble right through my potential twenty-loller?

    Number 1 city in the world baby!

      zackster that’s what Stevo said when I was in Sydney. Doubtless what Ed would say in london.

      Tell you one thing. It’s cold.

      Tell you another. They take covid seriously

      Mind you, the old US of A is not well known for looking after the sick and vulnerable.

      Jules72 yeah, we’ll see how it goes. my concerns have changed a bit now as instead of almost being done with this, i’m getting symptoms of myocarditis now.

        “Fantastic”? Really?! How lame that you could consider such a thing “fantastic”.

        Also, if you want to wear something over your mouth to keep yourself warm then you could just do it yourself anyway without needing a government to force you and everyone else.

          And to think NYC has a Statue of Liberty eh Hugo? What is the world coming to?!

          hugopal yes fantastic. Even on the subway. 100% doing their bit. Keeping the city rocking and rolling.

            Oh yeah, people wearing masks everywhere and having to show vaccine status to gain entry to places - that’s really what rock’n’roll is all about!

              benson Midtown is hardly rocking and rolling. In fact, it’s lost its swagger. Office workers largely at home and hospitality is still really suffering. The conference I was due to go to last week was put back to April. Cowering from fear of omicron 😂

              303abuser is that from the covid or the vaccine? If the former then surely it makes sense not to take a booster? But hey I’m no doctor

                Look what they have done to us

                  zackster would smoking weed in to an ffp2 mask you’re wearing count as hotboxing?!

                  Jules72 pretty sure it’s from covid although i have no idea if the vaccine perhaps predisposed me to it. i had no issues like this at all until the last week. it sucks because i can’t do anything but lay on the couch, i’m looking at my 3rd straight week of being unable to work.

                    zackster yeah man, i’m not prone to anxiety or depression, but i feel like both are creeping up on me. my tinnitus is worse too, which means i can’t even take the extra time to work on music to keep me sane. i’ve got frequency masking and i get a headache after an hour or so.

                    edit: side note, i called our health link this morning to talk to a nurse and she basically said if i’m not having trouble breathing to not bother with the hospital. that’s the state of our healthcare at the moment.
