It's just such a densely populated area, constant contact and infection is inevitable with the amount of people not taking the necessary precautions.

I taught Computer Science at a Primary School in PTA for 2 years, have never been so constantly sick in my life. Schools, especially primary schools, are the petri dishes of society.

"A new law comes into force in Austria on Tuesday that makes vaccination against Covid-19 compulsory for anyone over-18. Several countries have introduced mandates for the elderly or medical staff, but this is the first nation in Europe to adopt such sweeping measures..."

Why all the fuss over Covid vaccinations?

the fuss has been caused, in my humble opinion, by sensationalist @ssholes and their proverbial soapboxes on social media claiming to be knowledgeable and "experts".

The misinformation surrounding the covid jab has been MIND BOGGLING to say the least!

It's not just arm chair experts though, I have heard some ridiculous shit from actual medical professionals, including GPs to pharmacists to specialised doctors and even experts within the whole circle. At this point the only people I trust are the few I know who do the sequencing, reliably they've told me when to stay in doors because of new strains and numbers going up in the waste water etc.

TBH I think it's already infected everyone, the IQ drop is insanely apparent. Went for my first PCR swab cause I have to be admitted tomorrow, I asked the tech why they have them doing the tests in containers, seems to me if I have covid I'm going to dump a bunch of virus in the container and have its swirl around putting them and everyone else at risk. "Nah there's enough air in here". Tell the tech I got Delta with a mask on and outside. Tell them how they traced one woman's infection to another woman walking passed her in a mall. "How can they see the virus on film?" Explain logical deduction from tracing contacts and infection test results of the people, and how the whole world is CCTV'd up its ass. How maybe its not 100%, but it's a pretty good estimate of when she was infected. *blank stare* "Nah I don't think they can see the virus on camera".

It is indeed them Vape Meets ... at the second one, (the one most erm .... "criticized"), @Viper contracted Spacedcoilightus, @Christos caught a Babbelas, and I caught Squonkalightus ... and I'm damn sure there was other vape related contagion :giggle:
 
When are you gonna come through for a vape meet? ... I think I speak for most when I say I'd love to meet you, and thank you for amongst other ... this thread :campeon: ... and ... when you do, make sure you bring along the 65536 tanks you own / tease us with from time to time, for us to drool over ;)
I’m also looking forward to join you for one of those meets :headbang:

Don't forget the fomolitus the ones out of town contracted via the internet... we still have not recovered from it...
 
I had a endo scope done yesterday, I requested to stay awake and watch the procedure on the screen doctor was more than happy to fill this request, equally the weirdest and most fascinating moment in quite a while.

Listening to everyone's COVID stories was just as interesting, from health care staff to patients, I hope someone is documenting as many as they can would make for an interesting read.
