Coronavirus - What Happened?

Unfortunately, I need a subscription to read that article.

This is why I’m glad I support small businesses. While all of these idiots are cramming themselves into supermarkets and increasing their chances of getting infected, I go to a small local butcher/deli for my food. I normally only buy meat there but they do have bread, pasta, some produce and other foods.

There is also a health food store which sells locally sourced meat and dairy, among the typical vegan and vegetarian foods, which most people here avoid. They even have vegan toilet paper.

You will have to explain vegan toilet paper.

It’s extra soft for those sensitive assholes.

To sum up, chances of a recession are now, according to them, 100%

It is a bear market just by definition (stocks fell a certain percentage). How long it will last, and how low it will go are the questions I have.

What does Hannity have to do with China blaming the US for seeding the virus in Wuhan? That’s not fake news, that’s what they actually did.

I’m missing what you are even asking, @pat.

So the Deep State and the DEMS are the cause of the Pandemic?

Pat is one of the many ignorant Americans who read clickbait headlines and think they now have a masters degree in political science.

A (as in one) Chinese official tweeted that America was to blame. I guess one Chinese person speaks for a billion Chinese people. In pat’s world one = they.

We should use emaciated sickly vegans for toilet paper

The Chinese bot trolls on twitter for ā€˜American virus’ trending. How crucial a plank of propaganda this is to the Chinese state is debatable, but they’re definitely attempting to do damage control using the usual skullduggery.

The damage control is within their own country. The government will not officially blame the US for this. Americans don’t know the difference between Chinese propaganda meant for their own citizens and official international statements.

No disagreement from me. My point was that there are Chinese politburo forces doing this, albeit not in a strictly official capacity.

Saw that earlier. Funny to think about, isn’t it?

My friends in virology are all working round the clock right now, I can’t discuss much of it for their sakes.

I will say that the mobilisation we’ve seen is unprecedented. There is a blank cheque and a bunch of dedicated geniuses trying to crack this.

Nil desperandum everyone.

Yeah, I know - my sister works in the same field.

Incidentally the new messiah seems to be the (second) most hated man in football…

This (below) is the issue. And it’s a big one. Of course this was from back when right wing pundits and the President didn’t think it was a big deal. Now they changed their tune. When the President didn’t think it was a big deal it was all a plot against them. Now that he’s confirmed it’s an issue it’s we all must be safe.

ā€œThere’s an MIT guy I noticed on Twitter, and you know he’s saying pretty much the same thing he does research nearly every single day on immune systems he said quote ā€˜coronavirus fear-mongering by the deep state will go down in history as one of the biggest frauds to manipulate economies, suppress dissent, and push mandated medicines,ā€™ā€ Hannity said, adding, ā€œMay be true.ā€

Like I said I’ll put my faith in scientists combined with the power of being able to share information instantly. The world’s best are able to work on this together.

And their viewers won’t learn from this. Most of them are still waiting for Obama to take their guns.
