Instead of making the dumbest comparison possible (? Gun deaths?? LOL) How are the viruses so different?

winson604 01-28-2020 06:58 AM

I don't want to downplay and say meh the virus is nothing but to me whether there are any confirmed cases here locally or not doesn't really change anything. I'm still going to practice good hygiene, wash my hands etc. It isn't going to make me leave the house any less or if I do walk around in a hazmat suit.

flu is like a slow kill that but also allows you to fight it off

WARS is like a fast kill and really depends on your body condition if you live or die

I totally agree. Think of it this way, if someone posted all over social media saying I'm infected I would be PISSED OFF and taking legal action. Again, in this case, no names were mentioned, but if there were.... holy F...

Might as well compare gun related deaths too, that’s how similar it is

You are right, it is apples to oranges (to a sense)

First case in Vancouver

Meme going around shows the lab where ground zero is, having the Umbrella logo. In Blue.

I have no idea if it's accurate I just found it amusing.

If you put rats in an environment, with unlimited food, an interesting thing happens. They will breed and reproduce like normal. Their population will explode. Then, suddenly, a mysterious illness will come through and kill the large majority of them. Population will reset and begin again. This will happen over and over.

Humans also go through this. Bubonic Plague, Ebola, Aids, are all (in my non scientific opinion) natures way of trying to "cure" over population of humans. We have found ways to fight off these attempts at natures population control. Ever notice how all the terrible plagues tend to start in the most over populated parts of the planet?

Berz out.

Typical American reaction. Throughout history, it’s always been about how something affects their country. If it profits them, they’re in like a dirty shirt. If it looks like the problem might reach their shores, they are in. Why did they enter WWII on the European front? Because they realized, if the allied forces fell, they’d be next with nobody left to help them. They helped Japan rebuild, because there was a greater threat called the Commies. They needed bases from which to launch attacks. Oil and other resources. If that ain’t it, arms dealing. There’s always an ulterior motive. Look like you’re being kind and humane is just an added bonus.

Interesting that when asked where this new case is from, all they will say is that he is from the Vancouver Coastal Health Region.

Talk about paranoia. :lawl:

Pics of a few mainlanders wearing plastic bottle cut outs to protect themselves at YVR.

That girl standing behind one of those bottle heads is literally laughing hystericallly.

Pics were taken at YVR today.

I was going to make a post about how I’ve literally never seen a single other race than (presumably) Chinese people wearing The masks Until I saw a big white guy last night at Rogers arena wearing one lol..

Is that first picture with the bottle head actually Vancouver?

Doubl3_H 01-28-2020 03:52 PM

I thought about wearing a mask and going into work just as a joke, since I am the only Chinese guy in the office. Now Imma up the game and put a bottle on as well.
