Loading...It’s been getting a bit rough lately, but with the whole Covid thing going on I got to thinking about how we might have handled it all if it had happened as little as ten years ago…

World of Tanks-
That’s some mingling with the title there, jingles.
Though, I do understand the whole cabin fever thing. These lockdowns can drive even antisocial people like myself to insanity.
“world of tanks -” hmm, interesting name for a Mingles with Jingles episode
Maybe it’s not a Mingles with Jingles episode, so it’s not Monday, and we don’t have to go to work today.
Jingles and his click bait titles 😀
We’ve sunk an enemy Tank Destroyer!
10 points to all of you who clicked on this video before the title was changed.
“World of Tanks,” was it not?
@Silverslicer World of Tanks –
THE TITLE!!!
Notification Squad: at ease!
Jolly good old boy! It’s nice to see that you haven’t changed a bit! Care for a bit of tea and crumpets while we discuss your sanity?
Last time I was this early this channel was still called Bohemianeagle
…and the title was still “World of Tanks -“
Oh look a jingle moment
And the video hasn’t even started
notification: “World of Tanks”
me: on a monday?
*opens notification
yep, jingles being jingles 😀
Jingles, you wanna learn something new, and not have cabin fever anymore, you and Rita could always have a kid. lol
Watching you from the beautiful contentinent of Africa (well most of it not all). Your warm laughter and dissection of battles when you narrate WOW and WOT is absolutely refeshing man.
So early that this video is named “World of Tanks – ” and not “Mingles with Jingles…”
Paying for things the way you do Jingles isn’t being old fashioned, you’re just honest.
Jingle: glad covid happen at the current date instead of the pass
SARS in early 2000: am i joke to you
And what about Swine Flu? 2009.
Spanish flu early 20th century: Am i a joke to you?
And there were no useless lock downs, which have done nothing.
@Dgwphotos please cite a source saying lock downs don’t work
You are very wise grumpy old man Jingles. By repeatedly mentioning Covid 19 in this episode, you make sure that this episode is not monetized. As many youtubers complain that all their videos get demonetized whenever they mention Corona, Covid 19 or the pandemic, this is a brilliant way to deliver on your promise to not monetize Mingles with Jingles as promised to your patreons like myself.
ten years earlier just like in all previous pandemics there’s no way the lockdowns would have been as aggressive or long lasting.
Exactly. But people in the UK would also not have been used to taking day trips on the channel tunnel train between London and Paris (or to the Netherlands).
With corresponding things for other countries of course.
The death toll would also most definitely have been higher, simply because it would have been impossible to enforce this kind of lockdown.
On the other hand, we had SARS, we had swine flu. What had happened if swine flu had been as bad as Covid-19? If it had been as bad as first feared?
A lot more people would have died, and it would have been seen as “unavoidable”. Now, most people try to push the limit of the restrictions that are in place, often to such extrent that they change _nothing_ about how they go about their lives.
There would have been no lockdown. Yes more people would have died but life would still go on.
Without the current-day infrastructure, our glorious political overlords (elected or otherwise) would have been forced to end the lockdowns after a couple weeks like they claimed in the beginning. We would have returned to normalcy much sooner. In a way, modern technology is what has enabled governments to extend this shit show over and over.
A lot of serious meaningful topics and all the comments about the missnaming of the video. That is sad…
Dear Jingles, weirdest thing is that I can keep this up for years. Does that mean I’m socially deviated? What helps me to accept this, is the time I went with my grandmother to the Airborne Museum in Oosterbeek. In the basement they had the Airborne Experience, which made me felt awfully uncomfortable and brought my grandmother back to that time (she was in her twenties during ’40-’45 in Arnhem). Having that experience and seeing what happened to her, is helping making it “easy”. It is just the way it is, no use fighting the situation. Despite what she experienced (and the little I know of it), I have never met a more positive, grateful and accepting character. When I was out of a job for over 1,5 years, I was about to give up and talked to her about, she pulled me close and said: Son, in the end it will be alright… It just takes a long time doesn’t it?
Jingles, you are also entitled to have your bad days. Contrary to rumour, you ARE human after all. I hope the advice she gave me can help you a bit as well: It will turn out allright in the end… But it does take a bloody long time to get better, doesn’t it old chap. 😉
And yes, I agree with you that the digital infrastructure is in that sense a blessing.
Keep breating. When you feel like crying, cry. When you feel like smiling , smile. And when you need a shoulder to lean on, I think you can lean on a lot of shoulders in the comments. We’ll get through this.
Thanks, that was uplifting
