^ Tell me how you are going to be safe. This I've got to hear.

I wear my mask, keep distance in public. By 'safe' I mean being respectful of others in public, i.e. their perception of safe ... nothing is truly safe, except like you living in isolation.

Yesterday:
We had a couple over for coffee.
A bit later, I went w/ a friend on a 15 mile bike ride, then still sweaty we rode to a craft brewery for outdoor seating and had a beer (no masks, though the workers did).
Later, we went to a friends house, they made us a spaghetti dinner, we hung out for coffee & snacks afterwards, no masks.

Today:
A friend and his son stopped by, we sat outside for a bit, then when we got to cold, we came in and had lunch, no masks.
In a few minutes, we're going to relatives for our regular Sunday dinner, no masks.

It's great! What did you do, sit in the corner and meditate alone?

Hung out with my son. He goes to school online so neither of us has the urgent need to go out. Today we watched football used the smoker to cook some amazing food. Had a couple friend stop by for some of the bbq. We all wore masks and hung out outside.

If that is your idea of safe, good luck. I'd take the odds someone in your circle will get infected and share it. That would really suck lol.

Means its only a matter of time.

Clapton has talked about it. He was heavy into drugs, that's no mystery. That's no excuse but it probably, or very likely, or was because of the drugs and alcohol had a heavy influence on his... decision making, especially when you look at his timeline back then in general.

Maybe he had a bad day. Maybe he hated himself. Maybe it was a bad week or month or year. People change. Something he said in 1976 while off his head? Is there anything else he said any other times? It's just this one thing?

If it's set Twitter etc afire, so what. That doesn't mean anything. The next rage will appear about how someone didn't close the drapes while they drank their tea the wrong way.

Calling people wogs and coons and urge them to go away because this is your white country is slightly different than drinking tea the wrong way.
He continued to endorse Powell, btw.

Eric Clapton might have said something tasteless almost half a century ago - he apologized. Blaming him over and over again for a mistake is inappropriate. One can "endorse Powell" or not endorse Powell. This is a matter of opinion. In a democratic society everybody is free to have an opinion.

In the movie "A life in twelve bars" he describes himself as "simple minded villager", he admits to have said awful things.

No, supporting racism (see Rivers of Blood speech) is not an opinion that should be tolerable.
But I’ll stop, it’s getting political.

Several of us had it already including myself. Luckily for us nobody in our direct group has had serious effects, no hospitalizations, etc. As for idea of 'safe' it's a balance, no one wants to die now, but we're not prepared to live a life of paranoia either.

I know of 2 serious cases, an old neighbor of ours was 94, she died in a nursing home of "covid" though she was already dying and had dementia ... and a woman i used to work with, her husband had terrible fevers and was in the hospital about a week. I must know of about 15 others that tested positive with minimal symptoms, some had temporary lost of taste/smell, similar to me, and a few younger kids all that had almost no symptoms, i.e. they did mandatory testing for school and got positive results.

Seems like you may throw everyone who wears a mask, follows the guidelines, etc into that category.

Also not sure how different living a "life of paranoia" is from the life you live being "non-paranoid".. I guess?

Still can't go to events, still have to slog on a mask to do everyday things like grocery shopping, bus riding etc.
So you hang maskless with a group of "several" fellow non-paranoid Einsteins who got it and had no serious side affects, but likely passed it on to some who have?

Sounds brilliant.

You missed the point, which is today, people get offended about the dumbest, smallest, stupidist, absurdist of absurd shit that doesn't happen to them and it's a call to arms while people actually doing awful things, like killing someone because they're "defending property" don't go to prison etc blah blah blah, 'Muricah and all that.

If Clapton were to say that now? He'd gain an even bigger following.

I don’t think racist comments are small ‘shit’ and we should get offended by it. It’s a felony where I live. As it’s suppose to be.

I personally feel I can’t rule out the possibility the reporter of Clapton’s infamous “quote” did the job by writing down what the punters told him or her, rather than the candid verbatim account, a word for word transcription of what Clapton articulated on stage, based on the audio-recorded source. The obscurity of where it was published in the first place and who typed it out also makes me have some reservations about its validity.

Don’t get me wrong, I am certain Clapton made a racist remark along with the support for Enoch Powell that night, which is inexcusable. I’m afraid, though, I wonder if his statement might have been warped in some way or other by an inadequate way of putting it in words, especially when you consider the significance of the results his speech brought about in the music world and beyond, the impact it caused. A live tape — I’m sure someone taped the gig — would be the indisputable evidence.

Okay Clapton doesn’t publicly deny the quote himself, either — but most likely he doesn’t remember what he said in a drunken state, which was of common occurrence in the mid-70’s.

I think he more or less said what he said on more than one occasion, if I recall the time correctly. It was not as they say, a one night stand. He was going on for some time and being quoted in one press or another frequently there for awhile. I think it was mainly aimed at Asians, from Pakistan and neighboring areas in the middle east.

But the current situation is way different; its a public health crisis and unless you are willing to take the weight of a million deaths on your shoulders, you should not be advocating large gatherings.

Its pretty obvious what it means, but since you asked ... we're living our lives as normally as possible. Might someone get it and die? Yes, but we're taking the risk rather than sitting at home in isolation. Obviously if we're taking the risk, we don't feel that it is a huge risk as none of us wants to die. (if someone said, when you walk outside you will explode immediately, then I would probably not go outside ... that would be a huge risk).

As for the 'mask' ... again, i do wear them when it makes sense - in public etc. You can't wear them when you are dining or drinking, obviously.

I wear the covering when it is legally obliging to do so; otherwise, no.

The bit about how people get so offended about the dumbest of things, because they blame everyone but themselves for their actions ie Karens, hence the tea bit: actual offensive stuff gets glossed over these days. In the United States, anyway. If racist comments were a felony in the US probably about 92% of the country would be in prison.

Unfortunately those who shouldn't get it are exposed by the covidiots and covidiots keep walking around saying its no big deal because they didn't get a serious case. Someone I know's brother was like that. He needed to go out to hang with his buddies driving while his wife was really careful. He caught it and brought it home to his wife and kid. She has been really sick for weeks he now he feels like an idiot.

Looking forward to the new Van/Clapton tune.
