    While it was bad enough they stopped buying Corona beer because they thought it was made with Coronavirus. Now reports are coming in of them not eating Indian food because of the 'Indian Variant'.

    A friend of mine got the Indian variant, and he's now in a korma.

    It's really sad, as only a few weeks ago he lost his naan.

    Both of these are more likely to be evidence of wanting to disassociate with anything that reminds you of the virus rather than a belief that the beer and indian food are likely to help catch the virus.

    That's not to say that there aren't some people mad enough to believe this.

    They might have heard that Covid maybe originated from eating something and put 2 and 2 together and got 22.

    I'd be more concerned about the 20 a day smoker who doesn't want to take the vaccine because they are afraid of the 1 in 1 million occurrence of blood clots.

    A man I know named Dominic succumbed to it.

    In fairness, there are already plenty of reasons to avoid Indian food.

    To see that this is true, one need only take a cursory look at many of the posts on various threads on Boards.ie...

    Edit: Not this thread, I hasten to add.

    Don't see why.

    A proper good Indian meal is a real pleasure.

    Except that didn’t happen.

    I don't know if I am right. But i think you have to at least consent somewhat or on some level to the brainwashing.

    People are sentient. How many are sapient depends on where you draw the line.

    It very difficult to make a bear proof bin that's still operable by American tourists.

    The ones I wonder about, the person who works beside a well know monument or well know landmark yet never notices it or has any interest in it that sort of thing.

    My husband has this idea that anyone voting should have to answer a question along the lines of are you dead or alive and anyone answering dead should not be allowed to vote.

    Or, you know, maybe they're just not interested. I know there's hapes of statues around Limerick city, couldn't name a single one. I probably could only name 2 statues in the whole of Ireland tbf, and one of them because it's Jimi Hendrix and I know who he is, and the other is the one that was constantly in the news for getting vandalised by a 40 something year old. Can't think of his name right now, he was the singer of the Wolfe Tones.

    I live in the country, and I don't care much for the surroundings, I love the country but simply because it's not the city. But I walk by a GameStop or CEX store and I could probably name everything in the window.

    Re: the voting, bring on any question you want. I won't answer it along with not voting. Nobody represents the single male in Ireland so what's the point.

    But what's there to discuss? I can't even prove you exist.

    When you accept that most people are idiots you can start to come to peace with the world.

    I think it's always better to assume you are a bit thick. That is how we learn. Calling "most people" idiots is rarely the mark of a thinking person. Just a suggestion.

    Most people know perfectly well that Indian food is not a public health danger. Or, not in the way described by the OP.
