Coronavirus: Better Call Sol - CORONAMANIA (2 Viewers)

[pete]

i was in the local aldi earlier today and there was a kid of about 7 or 8 years old constantly coughing - like, almost whooping cough levels of HACKhackHACKing. Turned around and his mother was standing behind me - SURPRISE! No mask on. Locked eyes with the guy working on the next checkout over who looked semi-terrified and briefly shared a WHAT THE FUCK moment, then got the fuck out of there with the quickness.

people are pricks

Cunts gonna cunt

I was on a tube platform today and there was a dude, who I assume was drunk, just coughing and coughing and sneezing.
I personally have become more lax about wearing a mask. I still try, but I guess I'm just a lazy selfish prick.
But this guy, he shouldn't have even left his house. Even in normal times. It gave me a stark realisation.

Yeah before Covid even came along I remember getting the Dublin bus into town one day and there was a guy like this on board, and I was just like "For fuck sake would you ever just call in sick for a fucking day"

I assume he'd had a few and then had a bad reaction to the cold air of the street and the warm dirty air of the tube.
But he was not even trying to cover his face or anything like that. Again, even in normal times you'd make an effort if you're having a sneezing fit. There was a 20 foot invisible cordon around him on the platform, and the platform was fairly busy. I feel sorry for the people who had to share a carriage with him. Anyway, more maskage for me. I thought we were safe-ish, but clearly we're not.

Get any free boxes of masks at least?

No, got some tissues and hand sanitizer. Bringing my daughter for another test this morning, so maybe this time. Fingers crossed

Maybe he was deliberately trying to make space for himself

one would like to think that in this glorious future we are now living in, management will be far quicker to tell a staff member to go home if they are obviously ill.

Our manager wanted to come into the office last week after she tested negative for Covid. She was still smothered with a really bad cold. It actually took a bit of convincing to get her to stay working from home for the day

Also, just back from daughter’s second test. Got no masks

I noticed the RTE news last night barely mentioned Covid pandemic (or Afghanistan) can't remember last time that happened.

Not sure where all the glee from certain Irish politicians this morning over NZ moving away from the zero Covid plan is coming from.

They weren't incorrect when they said it wasn't feasible here, but 27 deaths later it's hard to say that it didn't work well for New Zealand and their set of advantages.

exactly. What NZ did wasn't some kind of admission that their strategy was wrong. Just that its time to change it.

Irish politicians are cunts, thats probably the problem.

Sure they only got it cause they accidentally imported it from Australia. If airlines had just shut the fuck down at the start, it wouldn't have become a pandemic.

Apparently in the US there are more people going for their booster shot now than people going for their first.

Some people just aren't going to get it no matter what.
