I want Chris Morris back with a brass eye special. I think he would make good sense of this. I see him having fun with 'good covid' and 'bad covid'.

'oh no sir, you went to a cave rave and now you've got bad covid, you can't get the vaccine, sorry. This lady got good covid off a child in school, she'll get treated.'
Ha, that would be great. You should prompt him with a tweet or something.

lockdown would not be necessary if we had good 'social capital' ie we felt invested in society and were good neighbours and so on. but we're not, cos the politics of the last 30 years has taught us not to think about other people.

Sadly probably true - although you mean 40 years, surely?

There's also the fact that both the PM and God-Emperor Cummings have blatantly ignored the laws the rest of us are supposed to abide by, so people have very reasonably thought "fuck it".

yeah i mean you could say 60, cos you could say 1974 was a decisive break in any notion of consensus politics. but at least a generaton which is why i went for 30.

and yes, fuck it indeed. we are in the state of nature that hobbes shat himself about. HOMO HOMINI LUPUS.

i had this weird job once, at a train station, and had to have training off this old scottish guy. it was like socratic dialogues. he said loads of things that have stuck with, but one of them was about how when he was a boy, if someone on the street needed ladders, they' come to his mum, cos she had the best and longest ladders. no one else bothered buying their own, they'd just borrow hers.

and if someone needed garden shears there was a bloke who had a pair, so you would go and as him.

then he said, in his strong scottish accent, that mrs thatcher came along and told everyone to fuck all that, and that we should all buy our own ladders and shears, so we've all done that, and now we own everything ourselves, and don't need to talk to our neighbours anymore.

i mean it's got a logic to it.

Yeah, we've definitely lost something very precious, when put like that. I say hi to my neighbours if I see them as I leave or enter the house, but that's it. (Doesn't help that there are solid wooden fences about 8 foot tall between our garden and the gardens either side, I guess - although we're moving house soon to a place where the layout of houses and gardens might be a bit more conducive to neighbourliness.)

NZ certainly won't escape the economic repercussions. How could it? It's part of the global economy.
 
The.... death standards? I can only assume that means that they are gonna redefine what it is to be dead. That would knock Reagan's famous counting of tomato ketchup as a vegetable into a cocked hat. I am actually surprised the Trump administration didn't think of that, it's very easy to imagine Kayleigh McEnany standing up at the podium and saying "Another set of disgusting lies from the increasingly dishonest Democrats who are totally prepared to politicise this pandemic by pretending it exists. In fact despite the wishes of the un-American Democrat party, not one single person has died in America this year. Another triumph for this administration which has yet again been totally ignored and misrepresented by the mainstream media who continually display their vindictive anti-Trump bias."
"But Kayleigh... what about Herman Cain?"
"Herman is in the peak of health, I spoke to him earlier today and he told me that these days he simply prefers to live in a wooden box underground to escape from Sleepy Joe's socialism, the very thought of which sickens him (though definitely not with Covid, although if it was, it wouldn't matter because that hasn't killed anyone and doesn't exist) - to suggest otherwise is a disgusting racist slur and lie of the kind that the Democrats are becoming famous for" (exits to cheers).

Well, that would explain all the dead folk voting for Biden.
