COVID-19 Appreciation Thread (THANK GOD FOR COVID!)

No young punks out littering my village. The river never looked so clean and there was a definite uptick in wildlife during that first summer.

Local elderly people found some kind of unity and were out taking back the streets in force, meeting each other for socially distanced drinks in the park. Never mind that they didn't leave the house for decades prior and sneered at their neighbours while unironically wondering what happened to community spirit.

Paying peope to do fuck all is a good way to keep the riff-raff off the streets, albeit an expensive one. It also made everyone realise just how fucking incompetent the "fiscally responsible" Tory party are here in the UK.

It allowed me to make a spring cleaning of my social circle : anyone who thought the vaccine mandate or the Covid policy was sound was immediately ostrasized or shamed. Now I can enjoy life with conspiracy theorists and faggots.

An undeniable benefit to depopulation but one question... who will be here to enjoy it?

I had covid & cancer at the same time, had to delay a few tests during that, it sucked.

Gay take. COVID was the point of no return for humanity in the direction of collapse or general discord. Theoretically, it was a perfect opportunity for the world to unite as one against an invisible enemy, work together, and come out better for it. Instead we got people crying about masks, fear and death mongering for both the disease and the Vax, and people hating each other more than they ever did. The Watchmen was written 40 years ago, and it's thesis was that humanity is so fargone, only the threat of an alien force could bring about peace. In 2023 that's a ridiculous conclusion... An alien force would just give us new things to hate and deride each other for.

I was laid off for almost 4 months of the summer of 2020. I didn’t get any unemployment or anything, but I had limitless free time.

I lived in a camper in a driveway and it was one of the best summers - and maybe years - of my life.
