With the latest wonderful changes in British culture, they should really consider more progressive names for germ variations

I suggest:

Jihad Corona

Corona Allahu Akbar

[Nextrush]

They need this to distract the population from taking to the streets? Wouldn’t put it past the Starmer government...

[healy61]

I thought the new strain was called Horse shit BS strain.

“Migrants” don’t carry the coronavirus, “experts” say.

[real saxophonist]

No, they just have tuberculosis and stuff like that. But since it’s not Covid, we don’t screen for that.

[real saxophonist]

So now they're naming them, like Superstorm Sandy.

Take 1000 mg of Vitamin C a day, you won't get it. I haven't.

Shouldn’t they be arming up to resist the oncoming forced Islamic Conversion?

“I’ve looked at Covid from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It’s Covid’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know Covid
At All!”

Another laughable attempt at people-control. It’s a tragedy that so many people still buy it.

“He put it down to a mixture of children returning to school, colder temperatures causing people to spend more time indoors—often in places with poor ventilation—and waning protective immunity.”

Am I wrong in remembering it is the vaccine which is connected with waning protective immunity and not having COVID itself?

Let's see.... does this sound like the flu?

• headache - check
• cough - check
• runny nose - check
• scratchy "razor blade" sore throat - check
• hoarse voice - check
• fatigue, feel like stepped-on sh*t - check

Am I missing something or is this (dare to say it) just the frickin' flu?

BTW I think it's a great idea for people with the flu to stay the hell home, drink fluids, and get over it. If they have to go out in public, yeah wearing a mask so they don't cough and sneeze all over everybody else is the smart thing to do.

However, mandating masks is over the line. No, no, and hell no.

Viruses do not have wings or the ability to fly...it is a spit/snot sneeze/cough thing. Spit/snot particles are 200nm to 1 millimeter in size....easily caught by an “N95” mask.

Will you wear one in your car?
Will you wear one in a bar?

I Wear my Face Mask in my Car

[Songcraft]

:-)

(One wonders if he wears one when he is trying to get romantic with his significant other.   Maybe they just gently rub their masks together.)

[lightman]

Don’t they call that mutual maskerbation?
