Don't you believe it, the BBC cancelled a whole load of classic films a few years back, including one that is widely acknowledged as one of the top ten greatest comedy films of all time Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949). This was done for the single use of the children's nursery rhyme "Eeny, meeny, miny moe" which contains a contemporary use of the N word, which could have been bleeped. This is even after the nationality of the lead character was changed from the source material from being half Jewish to half Italian to be sensitive to the Nazi atrocities.
This is creeping censorship is for the purposes of revisionist history by the soon to come "the Ministry of Truth".
Many years ago the works of Enid Blyton where censored to remove all mentions of Gollywogs living in toy town, by changing them to goblin dolls. This was a possibly understandable measured response, but today ALL Enid Blyton works would have been canceled outright and probably will be given time for all sorts of other reasons because the books are contemporary to their time of authorship.
Once this is established as a precedent, we can say good by to
Dickens (Anti Semite, sexist, racist, class conscious prejudice and lack of diversity)
Shakespeare (Anti Semite, sexist, racist, class conscious prejudice and lack of diversity)
Charles Kingsley (Anti Semite, sexist, racist, class conscious prejudice and lack of diversity)
and D. H. Lawrence will be back on the banned books list before you can say Lady Chatterley.
This is not about sensitivity, it is about revisionist history and attempt to not only improve the society of today, but to spread the lie that the western world was ALWAYS subject to the social sensibilities of today and only a minority of nasty deviants were ever Anti Semite, sexist, racist, swine who never had statues erected to them.

WOAD.
AnonySchmoose comments on Mar 3, 2021:
Have seen woad, which looks similar to mustard. Woad has my attention because of woad warriors, or berserkers, who painted their bodies with blue dye from woad leaves and then went into battle naked, looking crazy enough to scare the daylights out of people.

*And with what has to be upwards of 70m already infected, we must be getting there.*
No because natural herd immunity will not protect against variants, the new strain will have to go through the whole process again, and again and again, with a far higher death toll than adjusted vaccination.
This is why even with vaccination, PPE and social distancing are going to be with us as a control measure until a cure is found, and cures are far harder to develop than vaccines.
*Why does the immune system react longer and greater when being fooled vs really having the illness? I don' understand.*
Imagine your body is a building and the disease is a fire, and the sprinkler system is the antibodies. When the smoke alarm detects the fire it turns on the sprinklers, when the smoke stops the sprinklers turn off.
Now imagine the vaccine is a man with a smoking stick, he does no actual damage but sets off the sprinkler anyway, and he can then go elsewhere and set the sprinklers off again, flooding the whole building with water and preventing any fire from ever starting for months on end, even if the building suffers an arson attack, a fire cannot start because the building already is fighting a fire that is not there.

*Also "Virus load has always lead to variances in severity upon infection" okay, if true why did CDC not recommend masks from the start? This would have saved ppl's lives. What data did they use to say no masks?*
Yes it would have saved countless lives, Japan and have been using masks to stop the spread of other corona virus for decades since they were first discovered in the 1960s, among the general public. In 2003/2004 when the SARS out break happened most of the far east Asian countries were masking up and in case you have forgotten the disease we call Covid 19 IS a SARS virus SARS-CoV-2, so that is were a lot of the Data comes from, why did they ignore it God only knows and he does not exist!
Why the American government (and the British come to that) refused to recommend masks from the start is because it was hoped to gain herd immunity by letting the virus run wild, that is probably why 100s of thousands of people have died unnecessarily, I know they both lied about it because along with Brazil we were about the ONLY countries NOT recommending mask wearing, lockdowns and PPE for the general public until it was far to late. When it finally became clear herd immunity would come at the cost of almost 60 million lives, they realised it was a fuckwit idea, though it is still thought by some arseholes to be the best one.
On your last point it is long since proven natural immunity does not guarantee you will not become re-infected or that you will not catch a variant, so immunisation by vaccine is a good idea even for those who have already had the disease.
You see natural antibodies attack the virus as a whole and production of antibodies subsides naturally when the infection is clear, the vaccine fools the bodies own immune system in to thinking it has the disease when it does not and so stimulates the production of antibodies for a much longer period of time and in much greater quantities providing prolonged protection that can be topped up on a periodic basis.
This is also how flu vaccines works and have done for years, with only minor variations most years, but with occasional flare ups of new strains like the swine flu and the bird flue for which the vaccine will be adjusted as and when needed. This is what will eventually become normal for C19.

LenHazell53 replies on Feb 18, 2021:
Plague is not one of Masterton's best novels, true but I still found it enjoyable.
It is from a time when he and his contemporary and rival James Herbert's early books such as Plague and "The Rats" trilogy tried to step away from supernatural horror in favour of social and environmental horror. Speculative fiction extrapolated from current events and historical precedent.
Masterton in later years reworked many of these novels adding supernatural elements, such as vampires etc. to much greater success and branching away from his horror in a separate set of crime, historical and thriller novels published by a different house.

Every time some one says "you can't say that"
Every time some one attempts to "cancel" someone they disagree with
Every time some one tells another person to STFU instead of presenting an argument as to **why** they are wrong
Every time some one uses a false epithet designed to discredit and silence another, rather than engage them in discussion.
Every time some one for fear they of having no good answer to what is being said, tries to de-platform some one else, and do not want them to be heard.
Every Time some one tries to demonise another person for simply disagreeing with them.
Every time they are spitting on the words of Evelyn Beatrice Hall (Not Voltaire, though she was writing about him) and calling them "Hate Speak"
I talk to myself a lot more than I want to admit.

Quite right, I mean it is absolutely obvious that no woman of colour named Jemima EVER had a nephew or niece, and no way could a black woman have ever been a chef capable of creating let alone marketing her own recipes!
That is just a couple of utterly racist suggestions.
And UNCLE Ben? Sounds a ...

First you have not provided the type of mask second the purpose of wearing a mask is not to prevent infection it is to prevent the spread or aerosol distribution of the virus, the METHOD of distribution.
