Coronavirus Death Thread

[Dark Soldier]

I've got it for the fifth time. Absolute hotbed for it. I think slapping my dick in every crevice available when younger fucked my immune system.

[Don]

Nah, can confirm your current lifestyle overrides the historic debauchery. I'd like to say it was COVID that fortified my immune system to a level where I simply don't get ill any more but I think the missus moving in and improving my diet and sleep has done it. I used to get ill every other month.

[Shindig]

I've gone the other way. I've been picking up more little bugs since spending more time working from home.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

New strain apparently and SCIENCE is suggesting that we mask up again and test regularly.

lol.

Not complying has fortified mine. Immune to almost everything whilst maskers around me are dropping like flies.

[niko_cee]

The BBC doesn't even have a coronavirus news section anymore so good luck rolling back the years on mask wearing and the rest.

I’m done anyway, it’s over.

[Gray Fox]

Someone at work is off this week with it. I doubt it's anything severe but our Client policy remains you stay away from site for 5 days so it's a free holiday essentially.

Our place still had it as essentially a free holiday right up til 1st April. We were still having more than 1 off having tested positive for it each week. No idea why it took them this long.

[Yevrah]

If Giggles is out SCIENCE has no chance.

I’m the one that worked all the way through it unlike all the lazy cunts wanking onto their laptops in their bedrooms.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Those of us driving to work in April 2020 have those special traffic memories that will never leave us.

[Giggles]

[Giggles]

And no cunt wants to work because of it. Oooh I got to sit in bed for it all so I want to “work” from home now. No wonder everything’s fucked when every cunt is lazy

[Kikó]

Maybe we know how to do our jobs without having to pretend we're doing it by being present like you do. Ooo look boss I'm doing so much work because you can see me. Pathetic, grow up.

[Boydy]

Don't you spend half your time wanking in lay-bys in your van?

[Spikey M]

I'm lucky if I work from home once a week these days. 'Mon the variant.

[Shindig]

I've been in the office all month.

[Yevrah]

Those of us driving to work in April 2020 have those special traffic memories that will never leave us.

Indeed. Oxford to Maidstone in under 90 minutes. Amazing times.

[Shindig]

My memory will be walking over to the next village along a completely empty A690. And then getting there to see someone had set up a load of straw dummies around.

[Manc]

Hopefully this new variant takes us back to square one. You can't move for people atm.

[Magic]

Maybe we know how to do our jobs without having to pretend we're doing it by being present like you do. Ooo look boss I'm doing so much work because you can see me. Pathetic, grow up.

He's got a point. I get paid way more than him to sit at home with my cat.

And now the NHS app (did anyone ever download it?) is dead.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-65499929

Even the WHO have given up on it now.

[Yevrah]

Good to see they're still reacting with the timely nature we've become accustomed with from them throughout this.

[Lewis]

Time to finally see whose shit predictions were the most shit.

[Boydy]

Time to finally see whose shit predictions were the most shit.

Why were you hating on Yev at the time?

[Yevrah]

He was jealous of my constant nailing of the situation.

[Shindig]

No better time to archive the thread.

[Lewis]

Why were you hating on Yev at the time?

He was bulk-buying pasta like a frightened woman.

[Yevrah]

He was bulk-buying pasta like a frightened woman.

And had to make shit up like this to undermine my general nailing it.

[Lewis]

I'm back from my trip, with some observations:

Firstly, I got everything I wanted, bar the toilet roll. When I saw there wasn't any I wasn't going to bother with anything, but then it hit me, if I catch this cunt then I'm potentially not going to be able to leave the house for anything from 2 weeks+ without the risk of infecting others - I know the government want me to do that, but I'd rather not and even if I could guarantee I won't am I really going to want to get out if I'm feeling fucking awful. So back in I went perusing all the isles with one of the smaller trolleys. They were restocking furiously, so this meant much of what I wanted was available, albeit not some of the usual brands.

While toilet roll and eggs (no, I don't know either) were all gone, Nurofen was back on the shelves and I was also able to get some pasta, chopped tomatoes and all the tinned goods. There was one brand of pasta that was strangely still all there. Thinking it must be coeliac shit to start with, I initially dismissed it, but then the words MADE IN ITALY jumped out at me and that explained that. Picked 5 bags up (the max I could as per their polite request) and this theme repeated elsewhere. Chopped tomatoes. Pesto. Anything with made in Italy on the front is untouched.

After doing a few circuits I ended up with a trolley full of stuff that eventually amounted to just under £200, but that included toiletries, and household products. Up to this point it had been plain sailing, the place was reasonably dead and easy to navigate, bar the shop floor lads who were moving cages and unpacking them at an impressive rate. Then I got to the counter and as all the actual tills were closed I had to use a self service one, which for that much shopping was a right fucking ball ache. The technology on these things is now so outdated they make the McDonald's touch screen machines (before they patched them) look good.

I know some of you may think that much stuff is excessive, but I don't consider it stockpiling. I've just bought some non-perishable items, 2-4 week's worth, that will comfortably see me through should I catch it and be ill at home on my own. My Mum is in her mid 60s now so there will come a time in the not too distant future where I'd rather she didn't leave the house for a bit and most of my other friends and relatives round here have kids and I don't want to burden them with helping me unless I'm seriously ill. This food will be kept only to be eaten if and when I catch it and I'd suggest anyone living on their own do likewise.

Actual stockpiling may come later, depending on how it develops in other countries that are ahead of us in the spread of this fucker.

You bought as much as the shop would allow you to. At four in the morning.

[Yevrah]

Thanks for posting that as I couldn’t be arsed to find it to prove your characterisation above to Boydy was complete horse shit - as is clear, I merely bought enough food so I didn’t have to rely on anyone else to get any for me if I got it and had to stay inside for two weeks.

[Don]

We beginning to get the fine-tooth comb out for the thread? I've waited years for this

[Lewis]

I massively, massively underestimated it, as the predictions thread shows, but I still think we should have just let more people die.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Why was everyone ignoring the made in Italy pasta? Expensive?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Didn't they have a MASSIVE spike at the time?

I also remember Italian products being a lot easier to get in shops then too.

[Yevrah]

I think there’s definitely an argument that we should have told the vulnerable to stay at home, but not forced them to and let everyone else crack on.

[Lewis]

Weren't people also swerving Corona beer?

[Yevrah]

Why was everyone ignoring the made in Italy pasta? Expensive?

My assumption at the time was because of all the deaths they were having. Which is so stupid it beggars belief, but it remains my best guess.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Weren't people also swerving Corona beer?

Yes.

[Lewis]

Everyone I know or know of through other people who got it really bad got it through a hospital or a health worker, so we could have just closed those and carried on as normal.

[Yevrah]

It is absolutely insane the amount of people who caught it in a care environment and died.

[Magic]

Right side of history bro. Right side.

[randomlegend]

The non-existent smell of "victory".

[Spikey M]

They sure showed us by nearly dying and / or sacrificing one of their senses.

[Magic]

Enjoy your 23 cold/flus every year.

[niko_cee]

The truth seekers (as I learned they like to be called the other day) still being so hung up on all this shit is, whilst perhaps unsurprisingly, top tier irony.

[Spikey M]

Enjoy your 23 cold/flus every year.

I get ill alot because I live with my kids.

[Magic]

Worst flex ever
