The General Covid19 Thread

bosstrabs

It’s weird, I know 6 people who have tested positive now.

2 bad - my neighbour (about 45) said it’s the “worst thing they’ve ever had” and my uncle (60) needed a paramedic who gave him oxygen.
2 - not any worse than a bad cold (sister and her husband, early 30s)
2 - auntie and niece tested positive (got tested after my uncle’s bout) but had no ill effects whatsoever

bosstrabs I’ve had worse hangovers and I’m not trying to be blasé, Dave, I know people who have relatives that died and I count myself lucky. I think I’m being realistic, a lot of the hot air been spoken over the last few days is by people who haven’t the slightest fucking idea whats happening on the ground in other countries.

Yeah, wasn’t meant to be accusatory, I’m just genuinely trying to gauge it still.

People’s experiences run from ’this is nothing/didn’t even know I had it’ to almost Derek Draper levels.

LT42 a lot of the info coming out of India, eg the numbers of deaths, is nonsense - cremation numbers show a far worse picture, so I wouldn’t take for granted that the low numbers in some states are real…. can’t see how it’s anything but immoral holding big dance music events when so many people are dying. Yes everyone is tired of covid, but the death toll is gruesome… sorry, Sven Vath really is a total bellend

Jules72 From the folks I know in India, it does seem to be a varied picture across the country, but it sounds all of the major population centres are fucking grim at the moment. One of my colleagues had a bit of a meltdown on Thursday, as she’d heard in the space of 12 hours:

1) That her uncle had died having struggled with COVID for 2 weeks, and after not being able to secure hospital treatment or oxygen to use at home
2) That one of her college friends (under the age of 30) had died of COVID complications
3) That her father had tested positive, and was beginning to struggle to breathe.

That’s in Gurgaon, 25 miles outside of Delhi. Delhi itself sounds like a fucking nightmare at the moment. Sure - the picture in bumfuck nowhere in the rural areas of India will be very, very different…

Jules72 You wont find a more health conscious DJ out there than Sven, I know that sounds mental but its true. He spends the off season doing major body detox and hes big into the yoga/meditation and vegan carry on. The idea that he’d be out in India putting himself and others in danger is codswollop, I’m sure if people really want to dig into those gigs they’ll get a better understanding of what really went on but alas, its easier to just talk shite on social media.
I’m just playing devils advocate btw, if it turns out he was playing a new version of the Harlequin whilst they were burning people on pyres at the back of the room then I’ll be the first to lambast him. Does anyone have any info on those gigs, where they were, what protocols if any were in place?

A lot of villages will probably do what villages in China did and backwoods villages have always done, just throw up makeshift roadblocks and stop any cunt entering the village until the danger has perceived to have receded. Who’s going to stop them?

I’ve been reading some reports over the weekend that it’s starting to spread to the rural areas and small towns. Which could be a massive problem as the health facilities are very small and they won’t be able to cope if it takes hold. The shortage of vaccines and also the uptake is another problem.

Jules72

vinnyt77 LT42 I have no idea where his gigs were but they’re unlikely to have been in the middle of nowhere… also being into yoga and healthy food doesn’t mean you’re not a selfish dick (I don’t know much about him admittedly). In India especially, how many of the young people at those gigs will have gone home to big families? The only saving grace for his own conscience might have been the timing of his being there - the spike there was very rapid so maybe it was before that?

LT42 Is the point not that, whilst some areas have less infections, and influx of techno cunts and their audience could raise the infection rate in that area? We’re hardly light on evidence that such events are an issue.

And as for ‘Sven loves a colonic so he must have other peoples best interests at heart’, it’s just not true. He’s an opportunist, the same as the rest of the plague rave DJs, probably got a few mortgages to pay, knows he can afford health care if anything happens to him, doesn’t give a fuck about the people he plays too. Do you know how I know all this? Because if it was any other way, he’s have stayed the fuck at home and implored others to do the same thing. Tory behaviour, end of.

Thats clearly not what I said. The point is he’s a health freak nowadays and he wouldn’t be putting himself in direct danger flying straight into an outbreak. As Jules said maybe these gigs were before this all blew up and there was a green light from everyone involved. Unless the full facts are known then there’s no point accusing people of anything.

Lol at thinking Sven Vath is a reasonable person who makes logical decisions.

LT42

The way some are painting it its like he flew into Delhi on Friday night and was up there with his top off playing to 5000 packed into a small room. Give over.

He played in Goa on Feb 20th and Bangalore the week after, anyone know how things were then? I know Goa isnt that badly affected, even now. I get the idea that transmission rates could increase but we know now that isnt the case with Goa. So why is he being vilified with some claiming he has blood on his hands? A load of fuckin nonsense is what it is.

Jules72

LT42 that was before the pick up in cases…. so he has that to cling onto

I do love how we fulfill the stereotypes placed on us in this country.

Has Papa Sven been to dispense happiness and good will to all men / women / others HG?

LT42

zackster Listen, I laugh my balls off at him going around the place munted beyond belief in past videos but like most he has moved on with his life, Z. I know first hand from people who know him personally that he isn’t as bad as he used to be and he is indeed now a health conscious do-gooder who would put Hursty to shame.

People I see complaining are blerts who would’ve given their right arm to be in Liverpool the other night, either dancing or performing. First they were giving out about the tunes being played, now DJs are being accused of mass murder. A bit of fresh air and a good walk they need.

He threw handfuls of his own shit at a bouncer

Edward levels of delusion going on here…

zackster lol, drugs and Sven had a lustful relationship, what can I say.

Cases are still too high. Maybe more restrictions are required

alistair Shut up, Alistair.
