Most Comical/Hysterical COVID News Stories of the past few years

This

And this, don't go together, the first post is absolutely loopy, the second then complains about being seen as absolutely loopy, you have to be able to see this, that's how everyone else does.

Well then you could've just read right over it.

Anyway. I don't know enough about Bill Gates to have an opinion one way or the other. I don't believe he wants to control and chip us all etc but I don't know is he all benevolent and altruistic either. Thats not me questioning his altruism. I actually don't know..

But thats neither here nor there. I would agree with @foxsake that I'm also generally quite uncomfortable with very very rich people using their fiscal power and influence to further certain policies and worldviews on the wider population. In Bills case I may well do him injustice and he may well try to do good with the money he earned. I'll give hime the benefit of the doubt tbh, he seems a good guy.

Just not entirely comfortable on principal. It's just too much power and influence in one mans hand. For every good guy there are typically three that aren't so good.

Ye Donald Trump would be the prime example why I have a natural scepticism towards the ultra rich people. On top of Donald being who he is of course. Now Bill is not Donald not even remotely or actually not at all. But I still harbour a natural scepticism towards the ultra rich cos I find it hard to believe you can get that rich AND be a good guy. It usually doesn't work that way. Typically somewhere along the way lines have to be crossed. But like I said I didnt look into Bill Gates and I do believe he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Our views are probably not too far off tbh.

P.S. Having said that under Donald Trump we weren't on the brink of WW3 so there's that too.

Not sure if already mentioned, but I remember someone showing me videos on their phone of people walking down the street in China, and just collapsing dead.

Even then I laughed and said it was balls, but many believed it.

Did mainstream media like rte and bbc actually show them?

I assumed they were only ever on social media

Hadn't clicked into this thread in a couple of days.Wherever you stood on Covid restrictions it was a good chance to look back at some of the more ridiculous stuff that went on.

All too predictably it's been hijacked and the fun sucked out of it.

While it's been fun in a way and a bit nostalgic to see some of the covid thanks wh0res usernames again, the thread is dead.

Shame really

I raise your Clare Byrne with someone-just-killed-my-puppy-face George Lee.

Maybe the funny side thing won't happen for a long time. Or ever. The likes of Clare and George will never admit to any over-the-top-ness. It's their professional reputation they have to think about. And like I said earlier a lot of people here were too involved to take a step back.

Same goes for me tbh. If anything I feel now even more strongly about us having lost our collective marbles then I did one or two years ago.

And as for the 'other side', the 5G-they-want-to-chip-us-possibly-off-us crowd. Well I thought they were idiots back then too.
