Because a gay pride event at THE START OF THE MONTH has been linked to 9 potential cases. So obviously it was very irresponsible of the LBGTQ community to host an event 2 weeks before anything was cancelled. Also people comparing it to HIV.
Vile.
If this is how we are dealing with things though, it’s okay for me to hate fans of the Stereophonics right? Because they hosted 3 packed out gigs the weekend everything was literally being called off. And also I hated the Stereophonics anyway.

That's good, did you just make that up?
Sorry to drift away from the point of OP.

It's not drifting off topic really as the lyrics deal with the denigration of a local football hero when rumours start to spread, not that I should equate homosexuality with paedophilia. But a second meaning is now apparent with the spread of the virus and people resisting the lockdown being the one match that can burn a thousand trees. More on the story behind the song here:

There is possibly a third strand to the meaning, a Welsh band finding something dodgy on the back of 'England's Glory'...
I think, lyrically, it's fascinating and so darned prescient.
You have the examples such as the one discussed in the NME article where a reputation is quite rightly torn apart, then on the other side you have the likes of Matthew Kelly who lose everything they have off the back of one false accusation.

If you can only make one thousand matches from one tree then either you're making very big matches, or you're using a very small tree.
Tsk tsk, more attention to detail needed, young man. The lyric says it only takes one tree - not more than one tree to make a thousand matches and also it does not stipulate that a thousand matches is all you can make from one tree. How would the lyric sound if it went:
It only takes one tree To make nine thousand, eight hundred and twenty six matches And it only takes one match To burn a thousand trees
It's bad enough that there are already nine hundred and ninety nine matches left over unused...

I bet you could burn more that a thousand trees with one match too. Think of those Aussie wildfires before Christmas; they were covering massive areas yet would have started with a point source.

To be fair I used a condom so you can’t blame me for the current situation
I am more concerned with whether the pangolin gave consent.
To come back to the OP by callis; I wonder if the 'concerned citizens' making a noise about an event at the start of this month will be as vociferous (with praise) about the London Pride event at the end of June being cancelled by the organisers with plenty of advance warning?
The only possible comparison between AIDS/HIV and CORONAVIRUS could be that they were/are both man made, the latter as yet to be a proven fact but it would not surprise me one little bit, time will tell!
