...because a certain well-known covid denying nuscician now has covid?
Don't with him a bad case, just want to ask him how he is going to try and style this one out, because he is looking fairly stupid now!

I’m sure he’ll be along in a minute to say it was just like a cold.

It is for most people though

Hahaha I am adding that phrase to my repertoire 😂

Ah, it's Eric Clapton.

Not sure why the secrecy!

Choufleurfromage · 18/05/2022 07:26

So you're gloating that he's caught a virus? The only people I've seen that gloat when others have caught covid are the ones who would have been painting red xs on the doors of people who had it, wanted lockdown to go on forever, and likened it to the plague. So do you think its a horrific awful virus he could die from and are still 'gloating' he has it?

EmotionBot9to5 · 18/05/2022 07:36

Are u inna position to gloat 🙈😅

Not a covid denier but of course it's going to feel like a cold. He could be next to start a thread gloating!
"It was a mild cold!" Says covid denier. "Wouldnt have known but for the test!"

Bighairydogs · 18/05/2022 07:37

I’m sure he’s feeling quite gloaty mcgloatface when he looks at his bank balance every morning. You sound like the sort of person who slagged off people for daring to sit on a bench in May 2020 - ‘don’t you know there’s a GLOBAL PANDEMIC?’
Really kind & accepting of other people’s differing points of view 🙄

Wrongkindofovercoat · 18/05/2022 07:38

I wonder how snazzy his dressing gown of doom is ?

Georgeskitchen · 18/05/2022 07:39

Depends on whether he is a rabid anti vaxxer or not. If he's one of the people who called anyone who had the vaccination stupid idiots them I would not be too perturbed if he has quite a bad case of covid

Oh chill out! Eric blathers on and on and on in a very annoying way about Covid so the OP is just saying what a lot of people are thinking - that this might stop him going on and on quite so much. It's a bit drama llama of you to start going on about red crosses on plague doors.

newnamethanks · 18/05/2022 07:39

Fortunately, Clapton isnt renowned for his educated and considered views on anything apart from his guitar so who cares what he thinks about anything else? If anyone's taking medical advice from him they should definitely get a second opinion.

BurnDownTheDiscoHangTheDJ · 18/05/2022 07:40

My dad knew him a bit as a youth (they knocked around at the same places and had friends in common) and he says he was always a total knob. Said he was arrogant before he got famous and once he started to make it became truly intolerable. Always nicking other peoples girlfriends too apparently. Oh and he once brought his guitar to someone’s engagement party and sat in the corner playing maudlin Bob Dylan songs because his latest girlfriend had just dumped him and he was sad. The engaged couple never forgave him! 😂

Oh ouch... wounded...
Missed the part of the post where it said, only responses agreeing allowed!

He doesn't keep too well at the best of times, does he?

Ridingthegravytrain · 18/05/2022 07:43

Well it must be because he is unvaccinated and an anti vaxxer as we all know the vaccinated don't catch it. Oh, hold on a minute...

Was that to me?
Hes had long periods of illness in the past.

Trixiefirecracker · 18/05/2022 07:45

He’s abhorrent, not only a rabid anti-vaxxer ( who is bank rolling a lot of it) …that’s the least of his problems! He’s a racist, misogynistic arrogant knobhead, some of his comments about immigrants are beyond belief.

DorritLittle · 18/05/2022 07:46

Top anecdote Burn. He pinched George Harrison's wife so clearly this was a habit. I love his songs but not sure I'd take health advice from someone who was half dead from drugs throughout the entire 1970s.

User7493268965 · 18/05/2022 07:48

Looks like he is vaccinated and was grumbling about the side effects of AZ, same as me really.

Who on earth said the vaccinated don't catch it???????????????....

People wouldn't be so at war if this was a disease that killed kids like whooping cough etc but no one cares about adults dying.

That makes George Harrisons wife sound like an inanimate object instead of a woman making her own decision.
