Corona virus - Covid 19 discussion

[dionysus]

I've been out and about, stores, friends' place; really, all in all, it's mostly just remembering to baviagte the store following the arrows

 

[dionysus]

It’s the U.K. mate it’s pretty shit.

at least you guys get real snow and bears!

snow's only cool until you get a few feet and 6 months of it

I admit, the bears are pretty cool though you wouldnt much see one unless you're 'country'

Me mate in Ontario (didn’t realise how big the place was) says the same.
Some of the snow pics of her drive etc and going to work driving in it are insane lol, I thought she was taking the piss when she said snow above the car... she wasn’t lol

 

[dionysus]

Snow's a bloody back-breaking chore - to drive in, walk in, shovel.
Oh sure, looks lovely on the trees...until you add some wind in and say ef it and hide indoors with the heat cranked

severe lockdown in melbourne/victoria, I know there are some australian members but haven't seen them post for a while, be interesting to hear their take.



edit: just changed the link so no need to go onto twitter to watch vid, should just play on this page.

Dont think i would be able to live in a place with summer-heat all year round tho.
And real winters beat shitty winters everytime imo.
Just go south in Sweden to Stockholm area, and they barely get any snow.
Instead temps are around 0, and its snow/rain mixed, and a wet hell instead.
Ill take -20 and a bunch of snow over that every time.

Also, when you feel cold you can put on more clothes.
When you lie in bed sweating theres only misery.
Air conditioning aint really a thing here in Sweden, but i kind of wish it was sometimes during these warm&humid summer nights.

California is the same when it rains

Well, I've lived in California; barring Christmas didnt miss the snow at all (and thankfully, was desert heat not humid heat)

But you're right, I wouldnt want mushy slushy snow. On a clear day, it really is quite beautiful.

Me pals sister lives there. Basically like a police state mate. Despite the media the residents really don’t want nor approve..

she’s a teacher btw and as far left as you can imagine but she’s outraged...

LOL I think Ontario is big as the whole u.k.? With a lot less haunted places and pubs.

 

[dionysus]

about 4x the size of the UK

Me and her been mates years, me as naive as usual assumed it was just like a little county like in England lol...

but yes your hauntings ain’t shit on ours lol

man was I wrong and felt silly when she showed me comparisons...
typical ignorant Brit lol

I am surprised the australians aren't protesting more visibly, but then their cops and authorities have always been no-nonsense, and far from namby pamby, so I guess the fear factor plays a part. The fines are massive as well, so probably not much a fear of being locked away in prison but financial ruin.

You got that crazy puppet of Blair’s ‘arden’ in NZ mate, maybe they see that as the future as NZ done well...

Not surprised really as little bame community’s and also loads of space... to compare her job to those of Europe as many did and do was laughable mate.

im all for the safety aspect of Covid and people wanting to be safe, but let’s be honest there’s more chance of me dying via my corona cooking than Covid haha!..

 

[mack341]

Apparently he lives in sweden according to twitter, looking at his pinned video of stockholm [june 25] it's hard to believe the difference to the uk lockdown, the relaxed vibe and all round civilised feel.

I’ve Also seen many saying sweden doesn’t have a immigration issue by folks from a certain religion....
that was proven utter nonsense.

have a look mack at ‘sanity for Sweden’ on YouTube, Guys ex police and had to leave malmo for the issue they face in light of being overly tolerant.

Just goes to show what i always said.
People in Stockholm are crazy.
Our tactic was do nothing, but comparing our numbers to other countries with around 10m population, ours look pretty bad.
Both for total cases and deaths.

Guy does not believe the virus even exists.
Also he thinks The matrix was a movie warning us about the future.
Nutter.

The vid on that tweet is below, can't see much wrong with it myself as an alternative critique of gates:

My first experience of the cold in Canada was exercise medicine man in Suffield Alberta dug in on the excerise area with temperatures hitting -28 that was fucking cold..

ya, we hit a few minus 40s here but Alberta (barring to the poles) is really where the cold can be awful

better than the uk remember and you will have higher immunity to boot; the first post was a video of the chief of police in victoria, with no doctoring, on the basis of me posting that is it really necessary to search and analyse the man's tweet history for 'thought crimes' ?

Never said he was guilty of thought crimes.
People are free to believe what they want, no matter how crazy it is.

Do you agree with him that Matrix was a movie warning us about the future, and that the virus does not even exist?
I think it sounds like hes a bit crazy.

yes they have got problems, remember seeing all the resident's parked cars get set alight by a roaming mob. But just going on that stockholm clip, it looks nice and sane, something I miss. Just basic politeness and manners are missing from the uk, after that things just slide and have gone downhill. A youngster was killed in oxford street the other day with a machete, in front of other shoppers. That is a shocking state of affairs we've fallen to.

Kroffe I haven't even watched the matrix movies that's how out of touch I am with popular culture! Let's say he is crazy, how does that relate to the video of the aussie cop, that was really my interest. being closely associated with the uk, what goes on there could become relevant here.

Mostly his text about it
"Martial Law in Melbourne, smashing car windows to take people out of the car refusing to give details of their journeys. Coming to your city soon, please share "

Are these things that have happened, or have they only happened in his head is what im thinkinig after reading some of his other posts.
Not saying the video is fake or anything like that, but i wouldnt trust that guy to (the twitteree) to give me an honest take on the situation.
Edit: Finished watching the clip, didnt watch all of it earlier, saw he mentioned taking people out of their cars.



Wow, the hands got really freaking big when i just copy&pasted the text.
I could make them smaller, but eh...

Edit; This is bull, nobody can see how big the hands are.

 

[Kroffe]

Phew, i fixed it.
Behold the enormous hands.
Dont even fit on the screen

Also, you should watch the matrix.
First one is great, the two sequels are ok.

This comment about the video rings very true tho.

 

[mack341]

It's meant as a satire, an alternative viewpoint of what is going on and bill's role in things. The fact Bill has become a 'credible' authority in world health, maybe even the leading figure when he has no medical qualifications is odd to me.

yeah that's what drew my attention, his slightly strange futuristic uniform. and it's creaseless like it's made from some odd material

The aussie cop does say that, that they've had to smash windows and pull people out of cars in order to ID check them and ascertain where they were going, if it was as deadly as ebola I could perhaps understand it, but not something that in about 80% of cases there are only mild symptoms.

NB. funny the hands are there when I press reply, does that to gifs for me, perfectly fine until I press post and then the red cross of doom appears

He isn't a medical authority. He sponsors alot of research.

Seems different to me.

Hmm, how are you adding the gifs?
I just use the "attach files" or just paste the link to the gif and i never have any issues.

Maybe you dont have the same gif-privileges i have?
What rank are you?

Irrelevant but just curious..
Isn’t the director of the matrix now some crazed trans activist?..

Or have I read the wrong news..

when I first joined CM I had no problem giffing just by right clicking & copy and paste, but then suddenly the red crosses appeared; with help I learnt of the 'insert image' and choose the 'by url' method, that seems to work 75% of the time now

Dio just posted about it here:

Coronavirus

you feel his opinions do not guide the decision making of health providers/WHO, he just signs the cheques without any input to policy/direction ?

Cheers, wasn’t sure I’d dreamt that or not.

And tbh most overrated movie ever, keanu as likeable as he is... can’t act for shit

Agree to disagree.
I think the first Matrix is pretty great.
Both the sequels are meh tho.

John Wick is also good, shame they made 100 sequels to that one aswell.
Should have left it after the first one.

 

[mack341]

the matrix soundtrack is decent [clubbed to death?] heard it many times over the years without realising it was from the matrix It must have been quite a movie in 1999, with all the millenium hype going on as well.

John wick is superb. More the myth of John wick makes it so good.

But clubbed out... wow
That alone makes the matrix a classic, just film wise always found it meh and massively overrated.

They had some pretty cool special effects, and used some camera techniques that hadnt really been used before i think (atleast not for any movie that size)

They had a bunch of good actors for John Wick aswell.

Love this scene.
