Meh, many links.

It's just the new social media trend - Covid is about keeping us ignorant about the celebrity paedophile rings, which includes lots of people, from Bill Gates to Tom Hanks (Pretty much any white male celebrity seems to be fair game). Recently people have been posting things of how we should be executing rapists and paedophiles, and some even naming local sexual offenders/paedophiles and saying people should go out and lynch them.

Sure, it's all words on social network, but the rhetoric is scary.

For example;



Reminds me of the medieval times where bad shit would happen so people would go off and kill a local witch/jew.

It's a bit concerning that Covid is turning into 'lynch your local paedo'.

:|

Maybe Leicester is just full of paedos. Is that why you live there?

Here we go again, lockdown will fuel racism.

Says local Pakistani MP who thinks the truth just needs little tweak.

Tightening Oldham lockdown would fuel racism and 'cripple' economy, says council

Infection rate in town slows but is still highest in UK with loud minority blaming Asians

[Gwadien]

Oldham and blackburn on the blacklist again, no surprise whatsoever.

 

[Moriath]

Can we use the word black list?
maybe suspiciously dark list?

8 days into semester, Notre Dame halts in-person classes as 146 students get coronavirus

“The virus is a formidable foe,” Notre Dame's president said. Also on Tuesday, Michigan State University suspended plans for in-person classes on campus.

that worked well then

I love watching society fall apart as the second phase of our demise unwraps when the covid pandemic turns into an invisible killer hysteria.

Asbestos laden covid bugs, superboosted by 5G.

permit / deny is getting traction

 

[Raven]

Which is the master and which is the slave though?

Oo now your crossing the line haha

 

[old.Osy]

Which is the master and which is the slave though?

Depends on I(r)Q

 

[Job]

I have to say that master and slave in coding actually IS a bit uncomfortable and I wouldnt complain if they phased it out.
As a sort of respect to efforts to eliminate slavery from our world.

 

[caLLous]

Oh bollocks is it "uncomfortable". It describes a relationship between 2 entities and it describes that relationship perfectly.

Using words that describe the very worst trait of humanity.
The single most fundamental awfulness of human interaction.

What about ritual sacrifice or the genocide of any number of groups over the course of history.

So, about twice in the last two weeks, since they put benches / tables outside, I have visited a local pub staying outside and using table service. Was down there today (on my own to chill a bit after work) and this woman rocks up with her young kid, hugging people, kissing and telling them what a lovely trip they had to Spain - they had their cases with them and were clearly just back from the airport.

I just checked if Spain was exempt:

'

Where have the quarantine rules changed?
In June, a two-week quarantine was brought in for most people entering the UK from overseas.
In July, the government published a list of more than 50 countries exempted from the rules because of their lower coronavirus rates.
But quarantine restrictions have been reapplied to several countries since then:

• 22 August - Croatia, Austria, Trinidad and Tobago (plus Switzerland for travellers to Scotland)
• 15 August - France, Netherlands, Malta, Monaco, Turks & Caicos, Aruba
• 8 August - Belgium, Andorra, Bahamas
• 31 July - Luxembourg
• 27 July - Spain

Fuck me, we're going to see alot more deaths.

And they get to say look the news program said the rules are confusing, my bad.

confusing my arse.

The flu is killing 6X more people a day now.

So they should be testing people for seasonal flu and running a countrywide vaccination program.

I mean thats where we are now, its getting a bit silly, endlessly putting infection rates in the paper, when its actually directly due to testing.

People are barely dying of it, 3 to 4 people a day, at what point do you call it over...no spikes from all those mass gatherings.
Infection detection is going up...deaths are approaching zero.
What else needs to happen for us to return to normality.

 

[Raven]

Job, mate, there is a nationwide vaccination for those at risk with flu.

 

[Scouse]

And if it's 6x the rate now it shows two things:

1) our actions have got covid under control (so it therefore makes zero sense to stop taking those actions)

2) Flu is nothing like covid

 

[Bodhi]

Hmmm, so our actions have got Covid under control, but all the masks, social distancing etc is having no effect whatsoever on flu? Seems sensible.

And yes, COVID is different from flu - it's closer to a cold in virological terms - same family of virus as 30% of Common Colds after all.

 

[Job]

Job, mate, there is a nationwide vaccination for those at risk with flu.

Yes..Ive mentioned that several times, but here we are desperate for a covid vaccine that will be rolled out to everyone and a disease WITH a general vaccine is killing 6X more people and its barely mentioned and only offered to the vulnerable.

It just doesnt add up from any angle.

 

[Raven]

I imagine quite a few things don't add up for you @Job.
