The General Covid19 Thread

bosstrabs

jonattonyeah speak to the UK

This is a recent Yankism, or at least one I’ve recently noticed.

Nonsensical and annoying. Much like Pongwater himself.

jonattonyeah

I’ve been a mess with misspellings and grammar errors lately, Dave. Having two glasses of wine over lunch by myself isn’t helping.

jonattonyeah

303abuser is one more likely to transmit the virus than the other?

Depends on viral load. If the vaccine, or prior antibodies, keep the viral load down despite coming up positive, the transmission possibilities should be low assuming precautions like mask wearing and keeping to yourself are maintained for 10-14 days. But we haven’t seen many vaccinated people coming up positive so it’s not really possible to say with any certainty.

303abuser

jonattonyeah thanks. so is it possible that two people, one vaccinated and one not, both get covid, both have only mild symptoms, and the person who wasn’t vaccinated is exposing others to a higher viral load?

Along_the_Wire

jonattonyeah two glasses? Have you wet the bed?!

303abuser

jonattonyeah Where it gets complicated is the demographics of those 75,000 people.

demographics and time frame. pretty tough to know what happens in 10 years without seeing it.

jonattonyeah

That’s over lunch, ATW. The true degeneracy starts around 4:00.

bosstrabs

It’s not just you, Jonattan.

I have seen it a lot lately in articles/interviews/comments etc “I can’t speak to the UK (or wherever)”
What was wrong with “I can’t speak about the UK” or “I can’t speak for the UK”?

I hope it’s not one of these horrible Seppo sayings that now infiltrates the UK, like “Can I umm GET a mocha?” (yes, sure, go behind the counter and make it yourself) replacing “Please can I have a coffee?”

jonattonyeah

bosstrabs

I dunno, Dave. Just talk how we talk, I guess.

Mad_Cyril

bosstrabs Can I umm GET a mocha?”

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

bosstrabs

Here lads, anyway, I’ve got a GOOD ONE:

Why do you care about an untested vaccine inside you when YOU’VE ALL SPENT YEARS ingesting all sorts of untested chemicals? !!!;:LOL!!!!!!!!!11!111111

hugopal

bosstrabs I’ve seen lots of comments/memes along those lines on Facebook, it’s such a disingenuous and vapid argument. One could also alternatively frame a point asking ’why are you so worried about the virus when what you’re snorting is more likely to be dangerous?'.

bosstrabs

jonattonyeah I dunno, Dave. Just talk how we talk, I guess.

You’ve all only recently started talking like that.

Is it something you got off a crap sitcom?

(Sorry, ‘is it something you got off of Friends?’)

jonattonyeah

bosstrabs

Picked it up from somewhere. How would you RANK the girls in Friends?

I think I’m:

Rachel
Monica
Phoebe

But I can’t speak to how the UK views American women.

-si-

Manners cost nothing, dave.

alistair

jonattonyeah Phoebe would be last on any sane man’s list. Now if it was dancing in the dark Cox, she’d be top

bosstrabs

jonattonyeah I think I’m:

Rachel
Monica
Phoebe

JANICE

Angela
Pamela
Sandra
and Rita

Smallman1

Dated a girl from Chicago a few years ago.

She was quite sound tbf.

jonattonyeah

alistair

I’m fine with calling Rachel and Monica 1A and 1B with Phoebe a firm 3.

zackster

Friends is possibly the worst show of all time. My fucking wife and her shidiot friends watch it constantly. They have some card game that goes with it. The horror, the horror.

jonattonyeah

zackster

Yeah it’s really bad. I do wonder if it single-handedly created the modern coffee shop, ’though. I swear those sorts of places with local art and distressed couches weren’t a thing until Friends came along. And then they were everywhere. Most shows seemed to center around a bar (like the Regal Beagle).

alistair

jonattonyeah Cheers, now that was a show.

jonattonyeah

alistair

I tried watching that recently. It’s so slow and the jokes are so labored. But humor rarely ages well.

alistair LOL
