please do because there is no way i have ever been afraid of you coming to get me, jay. you are really flattering yourself. what were you hoping to do, show up 25 miles outside of london at some student accommodation and body-slam a kid? holy shit bro!!!

i didn't even live in london 7 years ago, so a rather confusing picture.

imagine being a 40-year-old man with two children posting threats on the internet. the big bad bully criticised my covid posts!

anyway. the death rate is nothing like H1N1. even a cursory google search could inform you.

but maybe it's just cucked and over-emotional liberal media.

Maybe one should turn down the cocksucker routine when his real name and home location is well known. Generally, once one approaches ones thirties, being a nasty asshole on the internet has lost it's charm. I already tried politeness with you.

also you reported my posts to the moderators when i used your name on here. what's with the tough guy routine all of a sudden? threatening people with their personal information and then getting upset when your own is casually used, with no malice intended? lol

Lol it's like we are in a doxing Cold War. Mutually Assured Destruction is the only thing keeping our careers safe.

Jay, who in a towering fit slung insult after insult and cussed us all out a week or so ago and is threatening to fly to Europe to give a fellow user a beatdown during his pandemic honeymoon.

But sure, Uzique is obviously the asshole here.

Aw, dang. It would have been so juicy if he were flying to Greece for a 2020 virus honeymoon. Oh well, robbed of that potential ribbing opportunity.

Jay would in fact win this hypothetical fight. We should explore this truth in detail.

I got married in 2012. Sorry newbie, I'm taken.

i think he means he was going to come and hurt me on the way to his honeymoon years ago. which is just bizarre. i knew his full name. we were facebook friends. it was a foreign country. i wasn't living in london. he was on his way to his honeymoon. i mean, i don't know at what point i was supposed to feel a genuine threat. lol. it's actually ridiculous.

a grown man being reduced to this behaviour because he's a dumbshit and doesn't like being wrong about coronavirus. sad!

reminds you of the trump-meister himself lashing out.

Aaron, playing a tough guy on the internet doesn't work when you are in fact not a tough guy. If you wanted to be billy badass you probably should not have shared your pictures or your personal details. For all I know, dilbert is 7'0" tall and can crush boulders. You? You like the cutting remark but clearly have a glass jaw. Just shut the fuck up and stop shitting on everyone. Your act was old ten years ago. It hasn't aged well.

everyone knows my name is aaron. i play games with people off this board. i've met several members. i freely shared my facebook and freely share my details now. was referring to me by name meant to give me a chill?

when have i played the tough guy? this is a weird line to be taking. u k hon?

Guys, settle down or imma kick all your asses when air travel gets going again.

If anything positive has come of this thread, it's that my mental image of Dilbert is now tentatively of Andre the Giant.

Jay, I'm glad you're back (as easily predicted). We only advanced like ten pages without your venomous insight.

i think anyone with a nostalgic attachment to a video game forum from 2007 should probably stop going on about what a tough macho guy they are. this is dweeby shit. i've never claimed to be a cage fighter. i've posted pictures of myself 'cuz i'M fiNe wiTh whO i AM

also, this diary, written from inside china by an ex-bureaucrat, is one of the best things i’ve read to give insight on the situation and mood there. very interesting context.

back on topic, i think you guys should read the account of china. in a way they are laughing at us. but it seems quite humane.

when did you ever threaten me and scare me with physical violence? lmao. please find the example of me 'grovelling and begging'. why would i ever be intimidated by you? you're pathetic.

On my way to Greece for my honeymoon I told you I was going to stop in London. I can probably dig up the mails full of you groveling.

im pretty sure uzi and i joked about drinking whisky and punching each other when i was out there too.

But you weren't.

Death rate is near H1N1.

infection rate is much higher though, which means more people die. Are you sure that's what you said?

Infection rate is higher, yep. But we're looking at a mortality rate that is somewhere between 0.2 and 0.3. The more antibody testing they do, the more they see that there are millions of people that have already had it. Over 25% of NYC has had it. Over 20% of the surrounding counties and northern New Jersey have already had it. It was rough at first for the hospitals, mostly because they were unprepared with PPE, but now that the spare hospital capacity has been built up and we've seen the smaller mortality rate, we should be going back to work. 2x or 3x the normal influenza annual deaths is not nothing, but it's not the catastrophe that was predicted by institutions like Imperial College.

We can't keep letting the most risk-averse among us drive the response. It's done real damage.

My wife and I both had positive antibody tests. We're breaking out of quarantine to visit friends tomorrow for the first time in almost two months.
