You're absolutely right, Mike.
I pray that it fails miserably so more people will die, the economy remains shutdown, and i can stay locked in my house for as long as possible.

Maybe Trump meant to say “Diet Fresca”

Hilarious video.

Most of the conspiracy theories are absurd, but I would entertain the possibility of a lab accident of some sort, just because of the proximity of it all. Not that I "think that's what happened" but it's definitely higher than a 0% possibility (which is where the others lie for me)

I'd agree.
I mean it didn't originate at the market according to the first known cases.
And they scrubbed the market clean immediately, destroying any evidence that could corroborate that story.
Aaaaand it's China. So.. Yea.

SkinnyPupp 04-24-2020 03:35 PM

Yeah when China admits something that would cause them to "lose face" (something they avoid at all costs, often to the detriment of mankind), then scrubs it down immediately and then says "actually it wasn't that" it definitely raises suspicion...

BUT

Most likely they just flipped their stance after scrubbing simply going back to the "try not to lose face at all costs" thing, and the lab being there is just a coincidence.

From all the materials I've been reading, discarding those based solely on assumptions, and focus only on those with some scientific basis and/or some previous published works out of the lab, this is the closest theory:

The P4 lab in Wuhan was indeed working with coronavirus at some point in time(the virus genre as a whole, not this virus in specific, which was fine... that's the purpose of highly secure labs anyway to study the very worst stuff known to men). Although the exact intent of such research is not known, the best (and least evil) assumption was that they were studying the capability of the virus being transmitted and how to effectively counter them.

Now, if I have to inject my own conspiracy theory into... it's that some work from the lab leaked somehow (not suppose to happen for P4 lab, as the design supposed to be watertight but did anyway) and it evolved among animals from something man-made into the "naturally occurring" version that we know today.

HOWEVER, the part that pissed me off the most is not that China was working on this. Something like this could be a human error, oversight or whatever... and one can count that as bad luck. The part that pissed me off, and the part that I think we should hold China accountable for is the FACT that they try to HIDE/BURY this thing for as long as they could and go so far as saying that preventative measures such as travel restriction to China is DISCRIMINATION. I'm like... WHAT THE BLOODY FUCK? The potential of the virus... probably unknown to CCP back then (I'd give them benefit of doubt), alone should justify taking such preventative measures when people lives are at stake. It showed CLEARLY that CCP cared NOTHING about human lives but just their face and their benefits.

That, plus the incompetence of the CCP leadership, is what got the entire world into this shit right now.

When other countries try to sue China for negligence on the virus, Chinese spokesperson had the audacity to say something along the line that HIV or H1N1 is everywhere and everyone should sue US instead.

I'm like really... HIV traces back to Africa as origin and US was only the first place that properly identified it. Furthermore, US NEVER tried to bury those viruses and the severity of them. In fact, they are the country that has the most research done on them. Give me one case of US negligence on those virus because I really have hard time finding any scientific papers on it other than some opinions.

In short... I'd quote the British interim PM... "we can't pretend that nothing happened after this". If JT et al. are going to let China go easy on this, I'm sure I'd do everything in my power to make my voice heard. I've already written to my local MP. And really... any politician who don't pursue the responsibility of this to the limit where our law permits, I am sure I ain't voting that person and will do my share of effort to make sure they don't get elected. I don't like conservative one bit. But anything goes to get to the bottom of this. Because god knows if we, either as a humankind or just people in my family can survive the next screwup.

I believe by hiding it, China did in fact break international laws which were legislated after the original SARS breakout to protect the world from this very scenario.

?? Planes are still flying, but seeing fleets parked it pretty wild.

The flight path down marine is still pretty busy. Mostly wide bodies

Looks like the teleprompter got stuck on repeat again

Seems like our daily cases of ppl contracting covid has been increasing? 95ppl in the last 24, and wasn't it 70something the day before

EuterVanWasser 04-25-2020 04:48 PM

It spikes any time they uncover a 'cluster' it seems.. jails, seniors housing, chicken plants.. etc.

Hondaracer 04-25-2020 05:14 PM

It’s mainly due to those community cases though in the prisons and the Chicken factories

Do you guys think the WFH situation will extend until June?

If that's the case I might splurge on a better monitor and keyboard setup. Or else I think I'm going to have crippling arthritis from using my laptop keyboard everyday.

Probably best directed at the Working From Home thread, but I'd say yes. Its not like you won't be using your computer after WFH stops anyways. Small investment for something you use everyday :thumbs:

I think once things relax, it will be gradual. Workers will take turns going to office like if your last name is A-L gets Mon, Wed, Fri and M-Z gets Tue and Thu ... then switch next month. SD is going to be part of the new normal. So yes, go and get yourself a monitor and keyboard ... and a nice chair too.
