At least some possible good news:

Going back and rereading some of the earlier pages from this thread the thing I am most struck by is how all the COVID sceptics stopped posting. Where is Alastair, Candy Crush, Larkonis (ok I know this one) etc?
Candy & Larkonis banned, IIRC.
Alistair stopped posting altogether back at the end of March. Too much bullying by certain community members who disagreed with his opinions and never gave him credit for being one of the very few posters on this forum that actually has the balls to a) admit he was wrong and b) changed his mind after exchanging arguments.
Alastair's own very elderly grandmother caught Covid somewhere around last summer and he was pretty certain it was going to kill her (it didn't, thankfully), so I wouldn't have called him a sceptic at the very least by that point.
I saw the following in the news yesterday and although I somewhat was somehow aware of it all the time, seeing those numbers (again) blew my mind:
So far worldwide
Coronavirus Cases:
262,549,838
Deaths:
5,227,930
Viking, n.:
1. Daring Scandinavian seafarers, explorers, adventurers, entrepreneurs world-famous for their aggressive, nautical import business, highly leveraged takeovers and blue eyes.
2. Bloodthirsty sea pirates who ravaged northern Europe beginning in the 9th century.
Hagar's note: The first definition is much preferred; the second is used only by malcontents, the envious, and disgruntled owners of waterfront property.
There are other places online that peg the actual death count to over 4 million in India alone, a few spots ran out of firewood for pyres, and the US has to be at least double what's reported. I haven't looked up excess deaths in a bit since I've taken up day drinking again.
Look, the wages you withheld from the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves for slaughter.
absolute lallante and rufuske scenes

Lallante is confusing the people he is talking about on a regular basis so dont worry about it Larkonis. Guy needs some memory pills.

Considering where we are now I feel like I nailed it. And it doesn't bring any comfort. Quite the contrary, I wish I was wrong.
And re Alistair, again I feel like I was among the few that were trying to point out instead of berating him, you should cherish him as your biggest accomplishment, as some worth discussing with, made him do a pretty much 180 on his political beliefs. Too bad other bandwagon dumdums chased him off. That's why and how this forum dies.
