Sometimes I feel like this virus is going to take five years to go away.


If 95% of the world quarantined, all it takes is one idiot for this thing to continue. Even if we feel like we are safe and can continue, only one person needs to be carrying the virus and them not feeling any symptoms to pass it on. I feel like it's almost impossible to completely shut it down unless we get some vaccine.

No way Hombre
Pool party at my place on the 4th of July!!!

We'll play some Sabbath and get wasted👍

I just rebuilt my horseshoe pits...I'm really bad at horseshoes, you'll likely kick my ass😂

reply

I'm better at darts!

I'm down with Sabbath but I'm not sure about this July 4th business.

reply

I'll see you at the party Buddy
Bring ice, it's awful to run out of ice when hosting!

Volume 4?

If you want it I'll play it👍

If we continue like we are, I believe it will pass and sooner than later... as long as it doesn't mutate into, say, an airborne pathogen.
That would be bad.

reply

If that's the case I'm spraying myself in Lysol to use as a Corona repellent.

An hourly dip into a vat of sanitizer.

there will be a vaccine.

THEY SHOULD PUT IT INTO CORONA BEERS...VACCINATE AND CELEBRATE IN ONE VERY EASY STEP.

reply

Hopefully it works. I hear this could last 2 years.

reply

Herd immunity is the endgame.

reply

Is there a glitch in the matrix?

reply

Probably it's here to stay and will become a new seasonal disease.

Better start ordering one of these then: https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/ba01345d-1363-4e50-b4e8-a2e3c1c79691_1.4198242923dbf09fc69a9298e9761118.jpeg?odnHeight=450&odnWidth=450&odnBg=ffffff

Truth.

We can't really complain. There's close to 8,000,000,000 people on this planet. It's Going To Happen. And... it's probably going to get worse. The human race can be considered an experiment for viruses to get stronger. Hell, the whole world is a petri dish.
It's a good thing we've been bred since the beginning to survive here, huh?

reply

To be honest, this world needs a good kick in the ass. Maybe a virus could bring us together.

reply

What a very odd, contradictory comment from someone who has so often expressed here how he does not like people.

reply

I don't dislike people necessarily, I just don't like being in big crowds and am not extroverted. I don't hate humans but we need to realize the way we act toward one another. This virus might make us realize it.

reply

Time and again you have said that you don't like people in general. And then the word "hate" very often comes up in your posts. That qualifies you as a misanthrope. Maybe you could begin your lofty campaign by taking a good, long, hard look in the mirror.

reply

Yes I don't like people in general which is why I often avoid them. There are good and bad people. There are racists murderers, rapists, domestic abusers who need something like this virus to happen to make them realize why people like me make me feel that way.

reply

why people like me make me feel that way.


Do you have any idea how weird this comes across? Do you mean other misanthropes? And do you realize that the very people you mentioned are the ones trying to use it to their advantage? I'm getting this bizarre vibe from you that you see it as some sort of otherworldly entity, exacting retribution in your behalf.

Personally, I think Governor Cuomo of NY nailed it when he referred to it as, "the great equalizer" because it sickens and kills indiscriminately. Today I encountered a story of a newborn dying of it. So much for your hero virus.

reply

I'm not happy about the virus. In my original post I even called people who aren't quarantining "idiots". The world is still full of racism, war and other things that it's going to take something like this to make people realize what the real issues are.

What is wrong with me hating rapists and murderers and making me feel angry about the world because they exist in it?

reply

Never mind. You didn't grasp the odd wording of your reply which I highlighted. Or else you're just trying to put a face saving spin on it now.

I've only responded to your excessive posting I think, three times now, counting this one. So don't fret. You probably won't be hearing from me again for another good, long while.

reply

Now I noticed it. It should have said "people like them make me feel this way".
