Normally busy roads are dead quiet. MS Teams is keeping us going while we work from home.
Meanwhile, the situation stateside, is that government is willing to make sacrifices in order to keep America working; the sacrifice being quite a lot of youse yins.
As they rightly point out; if we just let it rip, it’ll be all over in a month. Cities could set up virus tents for you to walk through as you get off the trains, and buses. Soldiers could be deployed to make sure you don’t run.Last edited by firstfloor; 03-26-2020, 03:18 AM.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

A piece in the The Atlantic (hardly a bastion of conservatism or even allowing their side to be presented) for those who keep trying to minimize what the Chicoms did
There are numerous hyperlinks in the original.

The evidence of China’s deliberate cover-up of the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan is a matter of public record. In suppressing information about the virus, doing little to contain it, and allowing it to spread unchecked in the crucial early days and weeks, the regime imperiled not only its own country and its own citizens but also the more than 100 nations now facing their own potentially devastating outbreaks. More perniciously, the Chinese government censored and detained those brave doctors and whistleblowers who attempted to sound the alarm and warn their fellow citizens when they understood the gravity of what was to come.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

Kind of like if someone shoves you into a lake and then pulls you out and demands that you to thank them from saving you from drowning.

How about an apology from the administration for its ineffective response, a response taken after the potential severity became public in China
How about an apology from the mega churches which held large services if any spread of SARS-CoV-2 can be traced to the gathering?

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostChina lied to the world, for months about the spread and nature of the outbreak. Going as far as to silence health care workers, destroying samples, and flatly lying to everyone. Is China at least paying you to spread their propaganda or are doing it for free because ‘Orange man bad!!!!’ is your guiding principle?
The fact is that we are relying, in part, on models developed by the Chinese. We are following the draconian methods of locking down society and the economy on a scale which is unnecessary in some countries which embarked on a different course.
I know you and Rogue cannot contemplate a reality in which people disagree with you based on a reasoned analysis of the evidence without being in the employ of the China Communist Party. That sounds like the line Christians use about da debbil being behind every idea which disagrees with the Christian who can interpret scripture with divine precision.
Are you pro life? The communal church services present a quandary, a moral dilemma, for the case of the large gatherings on Sunday. One indirect effect of that worship is people dying. What does "Choose life" mean in that situation of holding church service in the midst of a plague? And if you take the wrong course of action, are you in the employ of Satan, who hates life?
