Call it a weird thought, or what ever you like BUT, when this pandemic is finally over, done with and the God-botherers of this world have come to realize that their Almighty Lord and Master has left them to paddle their own canoe, perhaps we can start dating the years again and instead of B.C.E. and C.E. we can have B.C.P. and P.C.P. ( i.e. Before Corona Pandemic and Post Corona Pandemic) since it has TRULY been a world-wide event.

Not this little Aussie, that's for certain.
@Triphid Me either. So far I have restrained myself.
@WilliamFleming Not restraint what-so-ever required here, that's a 100% certainty.
Um, said God-botherers will not bother their own brains sufficiently to come to that realisation.
Alternatively, we could have BC (Before Covid-19) and AC (After Covid-19).

"They" are ones who survived the "cleansing" of the world. "They" are chosen.

Does not seem to have worked very well for the Catholics in this world since the 2 biggest Catholic Nations, Italy and Spain, have been almost the hardest thus far, excluding the U.S. that is.
@Triphid In terms of cases per million people, the US rate is a fraction that of Spain and Italy.
Yep, God is punishing them Catholics for some reason. I wonder what they’ve done this time.
@WilliamFleming Stop wondering and just read the History of the Roman Catholic Church, aka, the Holy Roman Empire.
We could petition for it but the people who make calenders and software would scream. Remember how alarmist they were for year 2000. Imagine how they'd go off for year 0001

You chuckle, but as far as I know, they'd have good reason to panic.
I am not tech-savvy by any means, but I seem to remember my techie friends putting in some VERY long hours to make sure that things went smoothly. I wouldn't call that alarmist - maybe it was their panic that saved us.
(And what about binary??? Eek! Again, I'm no tech, but seems to me that 0001 might possibly have another meaning in computer-talk.)
@AmyTheBruce My brother and I worked tech support in that time. Software had to be tested and ran forward and the data verified. A lot of software had to be modified or replaced.
It took a lot of hours and funds, and that wasn't always covered by the client. But of course it was our fault. So, anybody says "nothing happened", that's because a couple of million techs worked overtime, took a lot of shit and were fed up by the time it was done.
@AmyTheBruce Hey, I was joking when I posted it, in case no-one realized that.
