....you know Hong Kong (and Taiwan) citizens really hate China right? Their opinions are emotionally loaded. I also really ******* hate China due to my Taiwanese roots. However, the Chinese are extremely prideful. Try to talk **** about China to a Chinese person and you'll find blind patriotism that rivals the south's "GUNS, FREEDOM, AND MURICA!" culture.

Pressure from outside countries into China won't matter either because the great firewall of China is terrifyingly effective (also plays into the patriotism I mentioned.) So all we get, once again, is racism.

The solution I see is for Western businesses to stop dealing with China...but we're not gonna do that. It's too profitable and it would make a **** ton of goods dramatically increase in price. That would directly impact all of us and nobody wants to pay.

So really, I'm gonna focus on our home (Canada) and ask why the **** our government is doing a such a bad job with flattening the curve.



Did I misinterpret your original post? You literally quoted my post about marching with pitch forks into China which implies bloodshed.

I don't want to get too much into Chinese politics. I know the history. I know there are still very hard feelings between the Kuomintang and the Maoists. But this problem is about the DANGER of shutting down free speech. One man tried to warn the world. He was silenced. Because of that, tens of thousands are dying and the world economy has crashed.

Someone will have to pay for this. Just watch.

Should lung cancer be called American cancer? Tobacco originated in the Americas, American tobacco companies modified it to make it more addictive. Still selling it and getting into vaping,

.....I think that would result in racism against Americans? =/

I think you did. If they marched into the markets and, say, tossed the vendors into vats of boiling water, or burned them alive, or skinned them alive, my first question would be are there videos on YouTube.

On a lighter note, we’re having a chuckle here as my wife says she really should drink more water...then downs her probiotics with a glass of white wine .

America is a melting pot of a number of races. Which one(s) are you referring to?

....but that's exactly why there'd be bloodshed dude lol. The Chinese will just fight back. I don't get what I misinterpreted about your original post still.

White racism more than likely because the face of America is still white. And that means Europeans, Russians, and even those middle eastern that almost look white get screwed.

You went on about overpopulation and referenced some cartoon character's arbitrary decimation. You either misinterpreted or were deflecting. Which one was it?

Trumponians

Then why would you want a bunch of people to murder each other? I assumed there was rationality behind that.

You know exactly what I was getting at. You keep sidestepping it, so I have to assume you're ok with the way animals are treated in those markets but are too ashamed to admit it in public.

....no I actually have no clue what you're referring to.

Also, no I don't really give a **** about animals in China except red pandas and giant pandas. I think we both projected and assumed the other knew/thought something they didn't.

Thanks for clarifying. One less heathen to deal with

Not killing off your own people should be incentive enough for the Chinese (or any other country for that matter) to eliminate these wet markets. The government could re-fit the markets with proper refrigeration and food safety standards and shut those down who do not comply with harsh penalties.

Also by we, I mean the world.

No man, the entire world did not breed like rats, just parts of it.

I should clarify I care about all animals actually to the point where I do not want to know where my meat comes from; hence I must choose to not give a ****.

If I am to cast judgment that China's dog slaughtering (this is the last thing I followed on the media before willfulling being ignorant) and inhumane but our steroid jacked cows and chickens are somehow better would mean I have the ego of a god...and I am not a god. But I understand that the majority want to choose a side...especially those that are uncultured (haven't lived in multiple countries or studied enough history to realize everything is imperfect and to live is to suffer.)

I'm finding I need to explain my rationality explicitly because very few willingly embrace the concept that we, human beings, are pieces of immense **** and I am no exception.

Had my first coronavirus social distancing poker tournament tonight. Used the free poker stars home tournaments feature, a colleague set up a Zoom meeting and we had 8 people on video socially distancing, drinking, and having a pretty good time. $5 buy in, winner takes all (e-transfer). Lots of fun.

I have a small amount of fluid/something in my lungs which is why I’m on antibiotics.

doctor just came into the room without walking to me and he just quickly mentioned it’s looking more like pneumonia considering how quickly I’m reacting to the antibiotics.
Here’s hoping to him being right!

Thanks. Reason I asked is because I haven’t seen antibiotics used for this. Doctors must have their reasons. Glad you’re on the mend!

Owasco offered to loan 70 RV's to house front line medical staff at local hospitals. Instead of going home to potentially infect their families, basically they could live in the parking lot (1 person per RV). Interesting concept and I like that the business is trying to help but I'm not sure it will work though. Hospitals don't normally have excessive parking (although with a lockdown on visitors, that may not be a problem now) and they need power, water and sewer hookups as you are talking about living for a month or more in there. This part is going to be much more difficult. Probably could get power from a packaged generator in the parking lot. Sewer could be a honey truck circling the lot every few days. Water? I don't know. Truck also? Not sure of tank capacity on little RV's.

Obviously the fleet is not going to be rented out until the bulk of this has past so it is an interesting way to try to help out. In my experience, the verwey's are good people, I'm glad to see them trying to do what they can.

That’s actually a great idea for some places. The university hospital here is near some large and very underused parking lots right now. Add in grocery delivery and you have a workers camp with decent comfort.
