Coronavirus

Rusty, are you saying if the virus had originally come from India, you would blame them for eating their "weird shit", or South America cause some of their rural people eat monkeys ?
Where does the blame stop. Do you still hate Mexicans because the Swine Flu virus originated there ?
Do you eat sushi or raw oysters, cause to me thats "weird shit" You cannot blame a country or it's citizens for something like this, cause as I posted, it could have just as easily started here, maybe at the back of some old seafood restaurant in Michigan.

Wasn't food that did it, it was keeping exotic species alive near one another in piss poor conditions until their parts were harvested for fake medicine.

And I agree that it could have started here. The difference is that we generally fix things that cause disease or problems with the public.

The Chinese do not.

Damn right i would. I call it how i see it. Wheather they ate it, used it for witch doctoring, whatever, its part of their culture that needs to be shut down, and shut down hard. For the good of humanity. Needs to happen anyplace their is stupidity like that going on.

I dont hate anyone. I can place blame without hate. The swine flu wasnt 1/10th what this is.

No, i do not eat sushi, oyster, or anything else that belongs on a hook catching a bass.

If it started in michigan id be just as pissed at the jackass(es) that did something stupid enough to allow this to happen.

All plants and animals, and even viruses, will become extinct, it can be caused by another species, like humans, or from changes in the environment, and that's written in stone, i.e. fossil records

But, they will be replaced, maybe even us, by another DNA strand that fits better into existing conditions, and that too is written in stone, newer fossils, extinct and then replaced

There were pandemics before China, so to blame a country or a group of people is contrary to the common good of learning how things work
Viruses will find a way, its in their DNA

As we like to say, "Nothing is Foolproof", there will always be a better fool to defeat it

While this is true....there is no reason to help them (viruses)along by doing stupid shit.

It’s stupid to us but they have been doing it forever.

The guy with a hankering for bat soup didn’t set all this off on purpose.

Calling this virus a China virus has nothing to do with DNA, genetics or learning how things work.
China is a communists country, a sworn enemy, who may very well have released this virus upon humanity for their own political, economic, military, and domineering advantage.
The China "powers that be" care nothing about human life. They are willing to contaminate, sacrifice, or eliminate their own overgrown population if it will bring the China government closer to dominating the world. Releasing a bio-genetic virus upon it's population, while allowing them to travel outside of the contaminated area, and infect potentially the whole world, is not an unfortunate act of Mother Nature. It is intentional and rightly deserving the title China Virus. Place the name where you place the blame.

Its not just stupid to us. Its stupid to the civilized world.

No one released this on their population. Get your facts in order before repeating nonsense.

I see Michigan moved up to 3rd in the states with the most cases.

Single party regimes, like China's, seem to have an expire date, Russia's was the longest, it lasted 74 years before the soft revolution, end of the cold war
North Korea is at 71 years right now
China just celebrated its 70th year, so the count down begins

China's biggest problem is its inability to control world information coming in, it tries, lol
China's communist party was on its last legs in the 1970, then they turned things around by focusing on their economy(capitalist bastards!) and opening up alot more to trade, and 40 year later they were a world economic power, so they learn and bend but don't break, often not seen in dictatorships

I think any Political leader would step up for world domination, it plays to the ego that brought them to being a world leader
"Manifest Destiny" ring any bells, lol.
I think most of us KNOW exactly how everyone else should do things, "the same as I do things" because its "the best way to do things, period", so we all have that dictator inside, to tell our kids and friends "the RIGHT WAY" to live, but not our Wives............unless you are an Idiot

Everyone needs goals in life, why not world domination, good money in it I hear, I know the US spends alot of money on it every year, we don't call it that of course, need to be politically correct
But I am sure there are more that a few dollars spent on undermining Governments "we" don't approve of, like North Korea and China, we do like to spread ideas of freedom and capitalism, go get'em Coke and Pepsi, lol


If China wanted to release a plague on the west they wouldn't start it in China, lol, they may be Godless Communist but they are not idiots
And it would be spread by MONEY because that's all we worship, capitalist round eyes, lol

A country that did seem to react the best to the Covid-19 was Vietnam, of all places.
All non-resident arrivals to the country were taken to local hotels and accommodated at governments expense for 14 days
Residents were taken home for self quarantine and their names and address were posted so friends and neighbors would know they shouldn't be in close contact until after the quarantine time and if there were no symptoms
Also anyone who tested positive got their name and address posted so people who had contact with them would go get tested (that wouldn't go over here, but I thought it was a GREAT idea)
Breaking quarantine would get them Prison time and fines, charge is attempted murder, because I guess it is, lol
They currently have 212 reported cases and no deaths, crossed fingers
My nephew lives there and teaches English classes, he's the one that told me to check it out, he's teaching classes on-line from home as they are doing what we are doing

Per Wikipedia hoarding supplies in Iran is punishable by death. I wonder how their TP aisle looks...

 

[PetroleumJunkie412]

Probably the same as their methanol asile?

 

[Jim Oaks]

Let's stick to the pandemic that we're dealing with.

 

[rusty ol ranger]

I see Michigan moved up to 3rd in the states with the most cases.

Yeah.

Almost every county has cases now. Except for a few way up north where no one lives anyways.

However something like 60-70% of all the cases here are centered in the detroit metro area and the surrounding counties. The county i live in (lenawee) has 18 confirmed as of about 5 minutes ago.

From what i read we *should* peak in late april.

 

[Dirtman]

My state should hit 20,000 cases by tomorrow. 268 in my county.
