They can catch me with a disease passport the moment there’s some kind of super virus that causes your entrails to fall out your butt.
Or super Ebola. Or Furryitis.
A real earth shattering pandemic that will viably eliminate at least 20% of the human population.
Not some Chinese engineered flu with a 99%+ recovery rate.
Hysterically, in every contagion-thriller I've ever read this never once comes up. People are too worried about the virus/disease to enforce things like this. Especially when society starts collapsing because people are too scared to go to work and are dropping like mayflies in september.
The stupid thing is, I was thinking this through the other night. If pubs and shops start demanding vax certs, then the question is, why haven't they been doing this for people with aids or some other highly contagious disease.
So if push to shove does happen, I'm going to try that on the doormen first.
Door: covid passport. Me: do you ask people for aids passports? Door: no. Me: why not, people who have it and are untreated shouldn't be allowed to spread it in bars. Their saliva is lethal! Door: it's against the law to ask about health con- Me: Go on. shit eating grin.
Likely won't change anything, but it'll be fun and best case scenario that door guard might realise the idiocy. Worst case scenario, he looks stupid and I go get drunk at home with my "circle of six" anyway.
Personally, I think any pub who chooses to enforce passports are either traitors or idiots. Because they'll enforce it thinking it exempts them from social distance "laws" but find they still have to follow them as the next made up "Spike" happens.
I think, if he's going to pass the law, we should at least ask that it's requested in the proper language for such demands:
Papiere, bitte
I didn't realize Arstotzka had so much coastline.
Just keep floating those trial balloons until you get enough support, then pull the trigger.
Or parliament could just pull the trigger anyway, take a little flak for it, maybe even call the protestors murderers; and then the protests will just become murmurs and idle complaints.
You mean you don't have them yet?
UK subjects traded a boot on their neck stamped with the EU Flag for one with the Union Jack.
Kinda. We ditched the EU but we still have EU centric MPs in place. The UK really should have called for emergency General elections on top.
Ditching the EU without changing leadership, was a stupid move.
