COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak

[duckzilla]

We have flu every year, a vaccine did not get rid of flu, coronavirus is just the same and is the new flu

The vaccine's sole purpose was promoting autism anyway. And the flu, just like corona, is a result of us being sprayed with chemicals from planes.

Who knew Russian doctors were so suicidal?

Clearly the stress of their modern office had caused them to go into depression.

COVID deaths may be twice as high as confirmed counts in many countries. https://www.economist.com/graphic-detai ... -countries

The floors are very slippery because they've been cleaning them so much to combat the virus.

Good news, the U.S is about to make your wish come true

[XeeleeFlower]

Don't know if this belongs here or in the politics thread. Either way, I find this interesting and scary: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... JDOkRrp92s

No. It is nowhere near to a catastrophe yet unless you mean by the damage lockdown has caused.

[RefluxSemantic]

Estimates are that a few million US citizens have already caught the virus.. In NY alone we're looking at more than a million.

It has been a month since the city of Wuhan lifted the blockade, but I am not optimistic about the economy. The government and people in the catering industry refuse to eat in restaurants, and restaurants can only rely on takeout to maintain their income. I did not understand why Japanese people like to wear masks, which leads me to think that Japanese people just use masks as a decoration to cover defects on their faces. But now I understand and understand that even if cov19 is eliminated, masks will become popular in Wuhan and even all over China, and they will become popular like clothes

[Mr_Bramboy]

Why are you posting an anti-trump video here? There's not a single mention of COVID-19 in that video.

Wtf is this

Holy shiet, Brian Adams being a nazi and a racist



Hitler was also vegan, so there are some weird correlations here.

[RefluxSemantic]

Isnt it consensus that the virus came from pangolins rather than bats?

[princeofcarthage]

How is he Nazi or Racist in that tweet?

[princeofcarthage]

This makes me realize that somewhere years down the line in some RPG game this event will be referred and how the whole world was standstill, yet some big conspiracy was happening behind the curtains which did something very bad in 2300's. There will probably a small book in some loot.

Last time I followed this topic, studies showed that if you look at the phylogenetic relations between coronaviruses (from different years and different species), this one is 100% traceable to bats. I think I posted this pic before that shows the phylogenetic relations between different viruses:

big pic

The only missing information was whether it hopped to humans via an intermediary host or directly.

He is implying that Chinese people and China are to blame.

Chinese people because they eat all sorts of weird things, including bats and it's not the first time a global pandemic appears in China.
China because they didn't do anything to prevent this. And it's actually the second time when a virus appears from a Chinese wet market. The first time, they did crack down on seafood markets, but after a few years, they started relaxing restrictions again. And this virus, that basically everyone agrees originated in Wuhan, is likely to have appeared in relation to people mishandling animals again. It seems like China learned nothing from the first time this happened and because of their mistakes and incompetence, the whole world has been economically crippled and 286.353 people have died so far.

But at the same time, the media is going all "shhhh" on this, making sure nobody blames China in any way. If you dare blame them, you must be an extremist like Trump. And if you're like Trump, you're a nazi, a racist, a white supremacist, etc etc. Basically an incarnation of everything evil in the world.

By inference, Bryan Adams is now officially a nazi. And possibly a white supremacist too. He's probably going to see his sales boosted among nazis. They must be reading a lot of secret double meanings in Adams' songs right now.

[princeofcarthage]

lol

[Dolan]

This is how the world works now. There are no facts anymore. There are accusations that stick and accusations that don't stick. If it sticks, then it's true, because that's what people believe.

What

[Dolan]

You want me to invest time in making a compilation of media snippets that show the way they skirt around the issue and carefully avoid blaming China?

I mean, look, they're already villifying Adams for that Instagram post. What does a subtitle like this mean:

Canadian pop-rocker conflates various unproven theories about source of disease in expletive-filled rant on Instagram

Unproven, expletives, lots of negatives there. Omagash, how could this guy dare spread this idea around.

Actually, events are taking place faster than I can write this reply: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-52630308

After his original comments were published, the Canadian singer was criticised by Amy Go, president of the Chinese Canadian National Council for Social Justice.

"This is so irresponsible and just so, so, so, so racist," she told CBC News.

Council of social justice, hahaha.

Adams is already backpedalling hard, he was THIS close to being publicly cancelled. He now realises the errors of his ways and repents.

And you guys still don't understand how could Trump get elected. xD
