If he saves just one life, it'll be worth it.

Yeah, full head of hair at 48.
"Devilish good looks" - a rival. I'm guessing you look like sun-dried spam shovelled into bootcuts.

Different story at 50 though eh, no shame at all there, nope, none and I’ll stand up for your right to be thinning, it’s the humane position

Would you like a pic *blush*, for “proof”? If you make bitcoins from using as inspiration re new nft’s, well, that would be rude wouldn’t it

I thought I was a competent reader of written English, and that I could figure out what any given sentence means. But you have some tricks up your sleeve, don't you?

So that’s a yes, you are balding

Again, it’s ok, some of my oldest mates go the full bic these days and encourage it in others too. “It’s a cleansing experience“ they say. I remember the first cleaving of locks after lockdown and going from pirate to no3 was indeed liberating

Who am I to wade in, even Craner flinched at the prospect of thinning hair

I feel we are falling into a trap and I can already imagine the replies that are going to follow- probably a discussion where we go through rehearsed points that we've all heard before, if this goes anything like how this discussion goes in real life - yes if that is actually what happened, then it is a huge crime. there's isn't really any way to know that that's what happened though.
well, the fact that it seems so hard to figure out is weird in itself. after the SARS and MERS outbreaks the origin was quickly clear. whereas now we're still arguing about it after 2.5 years. presumably if the data china has proved a "zoonotic" origin they would release it. however they havent, which probably means that it doesnt.

China deserves huge opprobrium whatever the origin of the leak, in my view. Either it came from a lab with inadequate security measures, or from a revolting, unsanitary wet market selling exotic wild animals, which is supposed to be illegal but is widely tolerated (or was, until 2020). Then they compounded the harm of the initial outbreak by trying to hush it up, which denied the outside world several crucial weeks in which to prepare for the arrival of the virus.

One of my mates has been over there since before the pandemic and recently got caught up in some quarantine thing trying to come back from a holiday.

A bunch of them were forced into hotels, only allowed out something like once a week, forced to take tests. He posted a few pics on Facebook of them all being made to line up by police or whoever and said people started kicking off over it.

I think he's back wherever he's currently living in China now, but sounded a very unpleasant experience.

He said decisions during the pandemic were typically reached after ministers were shown gloomy scientific analysis pointing to horrifying "scenarios" that would come to pass if lockdown was not imposed or extended, but it was not clear "how these all-important scenarios had been calculated".'
