Coronavirus/Covid-19 Discussion Thread

At my job, we had an in person fiscal year kick off earlier this month.  Masks weren't required, but we had to provide proof of a negative Covid test before being allowed to attend.   I think it's a perfect compromise that if everyone entering is negative then masks shouldn't be mandated.

And we're entering year 3 of the pandemic, which should be the final stretch of it.. if we compare it to the 1918 Flu Pandemic.. which took 3 years before it became endemic (sp?).  

And when Covid started circulating back in early 2020, experts had predicted the majority of the world would get exposed to it before it settled into Endemic status.. but that masks, capacity limits, and lockdowns (which should have been short-term) would give health places time to prepare, scientists time to determine what causes transmission of Covid, and for places to get themselves ready once things opened back up (i.e. safety precautions, etc).

I will never understand how some can defend the royal family after this past week. So this happens and Charles apparently KNOWINGLY exposed his mother to COVID. His current wife now verified to have COVID went to visit a grade school the day after Charles was diagnosed and it was announced he had COVID, and she wore no mask around the children. 2 days later she was announced as having COVID. These people are putrid.

I have had some respect for Elizabeth but her forking over money for Andrew's settlement of that lawsuit really rubbed me the wrong way. Yet people will still scream MEGHAN AND HARRY BAD. 

And then Charles and this garbage.  So all you have to do as a Saudi to become a UK citizen is to be a billionaire and donate to his charities. I will NEVER understand the wests allegiance still to the Saudi's after all the actions they had a hand in the past 25 years. Well longer than that but you get the point.

Why people still want to support this garbage by the royals is beyond me.

@JaneAusten and they have such ardent supporters, it's inexplicable to me.

People were joking that, after the pronouncement that Camilla was on the track to one day be Queen, the Cornwalls had decided to put their foot on the gas.

With the disgusting situation with Andrew's settlement to Virginia Giuffre without admission of guilt, of course, and Charles' honours payola scheme, it should be clear how trashy these folks truly are.Of course, royalists will always spin it as outsiders and commoners being the problem. I wish that other islands that are in the Commonwealth would follow Barbados' lead to becoming a republic. Great Britain has done absolutely nothing for them but extract the wealth from their respective islands (including human capital) to build the United Kingdom. I get so angry every time I think about this.

    • So I think I figured based on the end credits who is the script writer for each episode. Thursday's episode looked to have been script written by David Kreizman, and it was a well written episode that flowed well. Today's episode looked to have been script written by Henry Newman (son of Fran Myers and the late Roger Newman).   Right now, I've noticed improvements on the day to day scripts and that's a good sign that eventually the long term outlines that we will see in the coming weeks and months will be good.  Fingers crossed.
    • I have a very different view of Dano. For one thing, she like me, loves her little dogs. Another thing, of course she is effusive, outgoing but she is also very vulnerable & she used to have her Frank, her mother & Vivian who officially was her publicist (I think) but she was so much more. Now, they are all gone. Well, except for her always having a pair of her little dogs. But, if I were going to think in your terms, what I would think is "cool aunt". Because this lady is really one cool dame. Here is one of my favorite views of her https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGecq8rJS4w/

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170.
