How do you think Prince would have navigated Covid? If this has been discussed previously I apologize, I honestly don’t remember. My initial thought would be it would enable his hermetic tendencies. But before passing he seemed to have been making peace with the internet. He had an active Facebook & Instagram account. Something like the NPGMC could have been very useful for a couple years as a private streaming platform. Several artists successfully streamed paid live content (Joji comes to mind). Podcast platforms are easier now (early NPGMC had good podcast). It could have gone either way. It’s possible he would have hid under a rock or he might have capitalized on streaming ideas he’d already been pioneering. He could have gotten sick, he could have been an antivaxer 🤷♂️ (Remember Arsinio’s resistance). Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one bird. | |

He would've thought the vaccines were conspiratorial. He would've thought the inception of the disease was conspiratorial. He would've lamented how it continued to fracture people both at home and abroad. He would've probably never caught it and been very happy with himself for being unvaccinated and a pure blood with no trace of COVID in him. | |

He was not against medical treatment and had to have vaccines to visit certain countries (Australia, Japan, etc). Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me. |

I really hope this just doesn’t devolve into a vaccine debate as that wasn’t my intention. It’s just speculation. Yes Prince could be very Alex Jonesish @ times.

He would not have gotten the vaccine because he was a conspiracy theorist and religious. He would have spent a lot of time in the studio and would have been so inspired to create the second coming of 1999. |

Never believed he'd revive the NPGMC. When he moved on from something he usually meant it. |

Plenty of antivax have had many prior vaccines but were against the c0vid vax. Tantamount to B-12 shots? C'mon, you've heard at least a talking point or two from an antivaxer by now. You're being willfully obtuse when Prince was always about cryptic nuance. |

He'd have stayed inside in ice cold air conditioning where all is healthy. Welcome to "the org", heartpeacesheart…

I “think” he would’ve gotten the shot like most educated people that aren’t subject to absurd conspiracy theories and encouraged others to do so of they were comfortable and healthy to do so. | |

Interesting. Even though he thought we were going to be microchipped and that chem trails were bioterrorism? | |

Would have inspired a lot of ranty, lecture type writing and posting, im sure Good songs? Idk Who knows though, it might have sparked something in him. But as he was already pretty isolated and a real studio rat already, he prob would have found it easy to live with. |

I miss the purple pick of the week too |

New World would've been his first pick. Accompanied with a write up on the genius of his line ' the tracker you got from vaccination' |

Yeah, I'm leaning toward this as well. For as insightful as Prince could be in certain ways, he was also face-palmingly conservative and backwards-minded in other ways. This pandemic probably would have been one of those examples. |

Also see, 'The War', microchip in your neck etc. If Prince believed the contrail conspiracies it's easy enough to see him jumping in with the anti-vax crowd on this one. The orger formerly known as https://prince.org/profil...nglishGent |

Animal kingdom would have worked its way into his shows with an intro about how covid was due to animal territory being encroached on by humans |

Do you remember the first two years of the pandemic? Not many people were touring and I can assure you prince wouldn't have been among those who were. At this point, he would either have a seriously compromised immune system from his drug use or he would have redoubled his health consciousness efforts (which were already intense). And as others mentioned, anti COVID vaxxers are not just the pre COVID autism crowd but also the "this is all a scam" hoaxers as well. I would not be so sure prince would readily get vaccinated. It's too hard to tell as this scenario is unprecedented. | |

He probably would not have gotten vaccinated...Prince never really displayed sheep-like behavior. [Edited 9/20/22 7:40am] | |

Ditto to everything except the last sentence. I think that Purple nut would've no doubt caught it and then made a song about it:
"FUNK: The New Variant" |

You're acting like he chose to become addicted.
Nobody wants to be addicted.
He had pain issues and likely tried different types of alternatives. |

Most people don't think the vaccine is sheep like. Most people ARE sheep-like...and the media and the political leaders prey upon the fact that most people blindly accept and believe what they see in the news, on the tv, and what info they are given by their so called political leaders. | |
