Coronavirus Thread (Markey hates Immigrants )

I have got it every year since 2019.

What this fact proves or disproves, I do not know.

My sense of personal freedom extends far beyond the standard childishness of middle-aged Jordan Petersen-admiring men (‘The government is not going to tell me what to do!’). My sense of personal freedom involves being able to think for myself and not being stupid. But even here I am not entirely free, because I owe this freedom to genetic luck and my parents.

So many paradoxes.

Shh we’re protecting against foreigne…sorry variants

For how long? And what criterion guillotines the stay at home?

Your ‘question’ is premised on the notion that Covid-19 and standard flu pose an equal threat to the ability of societies to behave normally in social and economic terms. This equivalence is so nonsensical that your ‘question’, needless to add, is still more nonsensical.

You are basically another example of right wing absolutist childishness: ‘We should treat everything the same way because something something – the lefties!’ The OIUTF ‘logic’ is that Illness A, which causes some trouble, should be treated the same as Illness B, which causes far more trouble, because both of them are illnesses. Here is how the ideologically blinkered, even if not innately stupid (although many OIUTFers certainly are), behave like stupid people.

The experience of this pandemic will naturally alter how many issues are viewed. Crisis, among its many other facets, is a focusing device. A terrible irony of The Troubles was that surgery for blast victims and gunshot victims got accelerated by decades, because of the volume of people who required such treatment.

This pandemic, as a crisis, will inexorably affect how flu is seen and treated. Might vulnerable people now decide, unprompted by legal requirement, to wear masks and hand sanitize in certain contexts between October and March? Quite possibly, given what has been observed during this pandemic. This behaviour would be perfectly rational. Should the government legally require people, every winter, to do so? I doubt it, given that standard flu does not present remotely as big a threat, across all fronts, as Covid-19. Any such move would be disproportionate. But I think the government should encourage people – by an advertising campaign, say – to avoid getting flu, which would ultimately save taxpayers’ money. And the OIUTF crew, mostly wing nuts of the right sort, could hardly object to measures that sought to achieve this aim, could they?

Work must be scarce for a second rate hack

Bless.

I love upsetting the likes of you.

I’m not upset. I just can’t fathom how someone can write the reams of shite you do and get satisfaction from it. What’s harder to comprehend is that you think you are good at it. You’re dull, boring and deluded. Tis you that’s to be pitied. Bless.

But those that have had the jab are already getting their digital green certs? They know full well, but they’re buying time to build a narrative.

Not at all.

The genuine mystery is your masochism, the masochism of an anonymous non entity on a discussion board. No one remembers anything you say for ten seconds. And yet you hang on my every word.

Your biggest mistake: intelligence is not catching.

Good job, I’d hate to catch what you class as intelligence. Have another swig now like a good lad, it might calm you down.

“another swig”… Ah, how original. It greatly amuses me that people stoop so low in so unoriginal a fashion.

Actually, you should try journalism. You would make a good hack, being stupid, predictable, venial, right wing and jealous of intelligence.

Try it sometime. Besides, I doubt you are at much in ‘the real world’, given your patent dimness. But, hey, malleable dimness can be an advantage in certain contexts. All is not lost.

I was going to write another longish post but there is no point. We look at the world completely differently. You see everything as a conspiracy (“advertising budget”). Fair enough but I do not. And your second paragraph has no logic.

Besides, you clearly do not believe in ‘society’ as a concept and therefore you have no grounds on which to use the term ‘discrimination’.

I wish you and yours all the best over the next while.

You’re catching on :smiley:

You’re right, your post deserved a better reply but I hadn’t the time or the attention span needed…I know the second paragraph made no sense, that was sort of the point…
