You can go to the pub and not have sex.
And I don't know how many peopledied from HIV but I don't think it was 130k in just over a year.
You can go to the pub get drunk,then have sex with one monogamous, faithful partner I think.

If we could stop cancer by socially distancing and wearing masks I think most people would do it.
Aids in general could be stopped by practicing safe sex.
We've put normal life on hold for just over a year to prevent adding to the 130k deaths.
It was the right course of action in my opinion and hopefully we're on the way out of it now.
I wonder how many could have died

Comparing a lifestyle disease to an airborne virus doesnt make sense, no.
You need to switch off social media and get some fresh air. We're on the way out of this now, you shouldn't be letting it wind you up.

I'm not wound up (for a change) :)

Fresh air? I've had plenty and will get some more later! Hopefully it doesn't upset people too much hiding in their kitchen cupboard.

It sounds like it's winding you up. Were weeks away from it being pretty much over and vaccines are going great. Chill out.
And a bit ofempathy towards those hiding in their kitchen cupboards wouldn't go amiss otherwise your mental health concerns don't sound very genuine to be honest.

No cancer isn't contagious, more of a risk to some people though so should we just give up on life now in case we get it one day? I'm much more likely to die from cancer than COVID, that's not just saying it. It's fact.

Should I give up on life now in case I get it or just live life normally and see what happens?

Ironically things going back to normal will lead to increasing toxins and carcinogens in the air and thus increase the likelihood of cancer.

Really not wound up in the slightest, I am sat in my pants about to watch the Brentford game.

Again, the issue is probably more with the media than people hiding in their kitchen cupboards. Completely scare mongering a lot of the time for months, over and over all day every day.

I have full empathy, reading it back it doesn't come across with that comment. Apologies, my issue is more with the media who have done their best to make it that way.

Well there is a drug they can buy that seems to prevent their death, possibly pass it on, and lead full term lifespan etc .
Not sure if it's been adopted as an NHS freely available yet though.

Yes HIV drugs exist but usually requires a cocktail that is more effective early on

No rush, we're only 18 months into this.

Yeah, things like that, test events, testing hospitality in certain locations should've been rolled out a lot quicker. Everyone’s been firefighting to some extent I guess but limited forward looking strategy from us and/or most other countries

Hopefully you’ll be feeling better today/tomorrow. Think 760k+ jabs were administered on Saturday !
Bit of a sore arm but that is all. There was a moment of weird existential self-realisation when I was waiting the 15 minutes after the jab. Here I am in a mass vaccination centre in a global pandemic. Could have just been the previous nights vodka I suppose but it all seemed more real. They are doing a great job, hopefully we have jabbed our way out of this.

Its certainly been a weird 14-15 months ! Maybe the vodka helped minimise the reaction....🤔...to be fair I’ve heard Pfizer usually causes less side effects so hopefully just a bit of a sore arm is it

Depends a lot on your local demographic as well, I live in a place with an older population and they'd locally offered over 30s last week (I know a 31 yo who had his the same day as me).

Same, no side affects other than in the second day of a hangover from an all dayer Saturday. But my arm is fucking killing me. Can barely move it.
