Coronavirus

[OnJustALark]

Yea dude, me too, full military state! Kids are starting to die now. That Florida governor should get caned or lashes Singapore style

Why, for what? And since on the subject of Governors ... how about Cuomo diminishing the china virus as he and his team did all through Jan and Feb ... he gets a pass cuz he's a lib but DeSantis should be caned or lashed for what, and cuz he's a conservative?

Guess it is true ... without a double standard, the left would have no standards.

 

[The Nature Boy]

Not a big fan of Cuomo. Talks to much. I have no interest in old Italian sayings his mother or grandmother used to say to him when he was little. Not really smitten by the goofy back and forth he has with his brother on national TV and don’t really get many of the inside jokes they are saying to each other during Andrew’s many CNN interviews by Chris. But desantis a republican reminds me of the same bullshit that democratic mayor from New Orleans is trying to pass off, blaming trump or the federal government for not sounding red flags or giving guidance which is bullshit. U can say what you want about Cuomo, but everything he’s doin is preemptive, can’t even say desantis is reactionary, he’s not really moving. By him saying he didn’t move until he saw a change in Trumps demeanor is pretty much telling everyone that some republicans didn’t take it seriously because trump wasn’t

How many babies were aborted in the same day in the U.S. .... oh, and who paid for those deaths? THAT is insane.

no idea, but abortions as shitty as they are aren’t infecting healthcare workers/1st responders, burdening health care systems. This is another apples to dildos comparison, that is insane

n wtf is a lark exactly?

Yes, SARS-CoV-2/Covid-19 originated from China but let’s quit all these ‘China Virus’ mentions before people really get hurt bad in racial attacks.

It’s not the fault of the folks in China that their leaders hid information about Covid-19. And there are the American or Canadian Born Chinese who have nothing to do with China. Not to mention all the other ethinicities like Filipinos, Japanese, Koreans, Thais etc whom racist people can’t differentiate from.

These are tough times! Many people r afraid, angry, frustrated and maybe looking for someone to blame. Using terms like ‘China Virus’ only makes things worse by inciting hate & violence within our own communities.

We will get through this crisis faster by working together and keeping each other safe :hippie:

It should be called the CCP virus and if there's a silver lining to this crisis, it's that this may be the wake-up call the West needs. China is not a respected trading partner but rather a rising enemy. To pretend otherwise is foolish. 5mn people left Wuhan after Chinese New Years celebrations. If the CCP was more transparent, we could have finished this virus off long before now. A strong number two in terms of culpability is the WHO. We've got a date with both. The sooner the better.

When all this is over ? World leaders should do something about China and all these virus's coming and starting from China.It really would make no sense that they don't.What other epedimic will come out of China next could even be worse than covid-19

 

[The Nature Boy]

No one will do anything, I guarantee. China has positioned itself where it’s made tons of countries its bitch, USA included

 

[cloudsurf]

The Chinese government must be forced to end its trade in wild animals and animal parts. I can live without eating rice...they should be able to live without eating bats.

 

[The Nature Boy]

Is it the eating of all the crazy shit? Or is the sanitation conditions of the markets. They should be able to eat whatever the fuck they want, just conduct the biz and butcher shops with sanitary regulations.

6.6 million applied for unemployment! Their gonna be cranking out those serological test to see who can go back. Watch these tests roll out fast as fuck to get people back vs the slow roll out of the diagnostic tests

Rep. Devin Nunes of California who is competing for the prize of being the stupidest politician in America, just announced that closing schools till the end of April is overkill.

I agree that the fake farmer isn't the brightest bulb out there. Even more terrifying is that he's one of the co-chairs on the House Intelligence comittee. He's also corrupt as hell. Shame on Fox News to have this prick on their primetime shows on a regular basis!

 

[SLICKA1]

If the whole world would once and for all order the Chinease it's time for change or else there will be consequences they will change .Just my opinion.

US Death Toll Exceeds 5,000

Sanitary conditions are impossible to control when some of these markets of live animals defecating , pissing and bleeding on each other, are set up on the street.. Besides the viruses live in the animals and jump to humans when they are handled and butchered.

Doug Ford said what is coming in Ontario will b similar to what happenned in ITALY and SPAIN....

 

[jalimon]

Nothing against the people of China.

But you got to agree if their leaders keep these market open it does not make fucking sense.

These market were directly responsible to 3 deadly viruses in the last 20 years.

There is something absolutely ironic by the fact that they let people who are probably making about 5$ a day continue their work while we are a billion stuck in our homes which will lead to hundred of trillions dollar lost and millions of life lost (we need to include many life that will be lost because of depression, crimes, anxiety, etc etc).

Yes, Covid-19 originated from China but let’s quit all these ‘China Virus’

Maybe we should go what Mr Pampeo had proposed and go with the 'Wuhan Virus' ? As it didn't become a 'Chinese Virus' in reality.

Wuhan is/was the epicenter, Beijing, Shanghai are nearby (Distances in few hundred miles apart) and nothing happened in those or
other cities nearby or in china total ? And yet distances measured in thousands of miles away are getting hit hard.

And all of a sudden they are up and running and cashing in the $$s supplying the West with the needed devices, masks
(Lots of defective ones) etc etc...

 

[EagerBeaver]

Covid-19 being as contagious as it is, if it was in the bodies of certain animals, it was probably only a matter of time before some human had contact with an infected animal. It was eventually going to happen, maybe through a rabid bat carrying the virus, biting someone and then spreading the infection that way. Maybe through random human contact with the infected animal, or its feces. Short of exterminating the bat and pandolin populations from the Earth, how was the eventual spread of the virus going to be stopped?

Democratic National Convention Postponed

This is a sign that the 2020 Presidential election could be postponed, or even cancelled:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/02/politics/dnc-postponed-coronavirus/index.html

One wonders whether Trump will use the exigent circumstances and the inability to timely and properly vet Presidential candidates as grounds to appoint himself to another term. If an election can not be held on time, he may need to exercise some emergency powers.

 

[cloudsurf]

Corona virus is most likely a hybrid between a bat virus and a pandolin virus. These animals would never meet in their natural habitat since they live on different continents.
Even in a zoo they are kept separated. Only in an Asian wet market would they get within inches of each other.
