Coronavirus - What Happened?

Well you didn’t have to change or delete it but all good. I will admit that my default mode is to pretty much never believe in conspiracy theories and doing that is undoubtedly going to mean I’m wrong sometimes. I just think being naturally skeptical of things like that I’m going to be right an overwhelming majority of the time compared to someone who thinks bad things always have to be the result of some inside job.

Is it possible that some fuck in a lab lead to this? Sure. I would say that has a chance of being true.

The US or Chinese or whoever using it as a biological weapon seems like someone has seen too many movies. It makes little sense that in one of the more peaceful times in history and with the global economy doing pretty decent a country would decide now is the perfect time for a biological attack which we can’t contain.

A slightly different perspective - i’m 16. I agree with the general premise, but…
*granted i’m also asian

this may be true, but in the higher classes (AP) it’s still nothing late, accuracy homework and no grade bumps. So take that as you will

You do if you want even want it. i will listen to the teacher because he/she has power over me in that particular class. doesn’t mean I respect them

I highly doubt this part

They can examine the genetics of viruses and know when they came into existence. As they have done with this virus. They know it exists in nature and that animal to human transmission is possible. This virus did not just come up on scientists’ radar in the last few months.

Try -you’re in a different country where kids can still get in trouble if they disrespect the teacher.

High fever can kill a lot of things, including sperm -I mean, they’re just little dudes.

High enough fever, it kills the whole body, no need to worry about the little minnows.

Which is not the majority of kids.

Why would I want it? It’s not at the top of my list of priorities. Also, the point is that a child, or even simply another person, doesn’t respect others just because they are human beings. I’m going to go through life treating people poorly until they have earned my respect? It used to be people like that were said to have been raised by wolves.

When you get older you recognize true happiness. Younger people tend to equate fun with happiness.

To add to what @zecarlo said: by default, you are supposed to treat everyone with respect, until reason(s) is given for you to behave otherwise.

No idea where this warped backward perspective comes from.

It’s not the fever, the virus itself can attack the testicles. According to that study, SARS does too but I can’t find anything about someone becoming infertile due to SARS. Hopefully its not a big deal, but it’s not a rumor or conspiracy theory.

this is getting off topic so last i’ll say about this here

Is there not a very wide gap between respect and disrespect? As in what most people treat eachother with? Maybe i’m confusing something

I believe that they’ll ultimately be better off, and therefore happier when older. They may even be more fufilled at the time. But happier? No

Speaking of conspiracy theories, I just saw this on Instagram and I thought it was pretty interesting

Don’t know anything about the book, but I’ll do some research.

Sorry Chris for yet another derail, but I am a complete atheist wondering if the literalist Christians have been over the last few years putting together world events as evidence that the end times are finally playing out…this time.

Trump is a big figure in today’s world, there is still mid East conflict, nuclear proliferation is fairly hot button, and now this.

Your reading comprehension is poor. You do know there was a question mark after that quote from me for a specific reason? Talk about irony.

The problem is that the virus isn’t going to disappear at all.

Well she got half of it right so far

That’s what I thought but was too lazy to confirm. My general point was that accident in a lab on anything like this would be far more likely than a biological attack.

But it’s not surprising when you have the highest rated dude on the highest rated news channel peddling conspiracy. And why Fox News allows someone like Falwell to share his crazy ass opinions in the middle of this is beyond me. I guess this is giving their viewers what they want.

I wouldn’t waste your time. Every possible end times prediction has been made a million times over. From what I’ve read she has made countless predictions that were untrue. But if you make a ton of predictions you’re bound to be in the ballpark every once in a while. Not to mention we don’t know if anything is really all that accurate about it.

Well if you predict the end of the world every year eventually by God someone’s going to be a genius. Those morons thought Reagan was the devil because Ronald Wilson Reagan is 6 letters each…666!

I am curious, I just saw a headline on CNN saying that Trump has tested negative for Covid-19. Is this just an exercise in downplaying the significance of the need for radical reaction?

My ISP is waiving download caps on my plan because an increasing number of people are working from home.

So is Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, his wife tested positive.
