    Careful.

    If you give a reasoned response, and back it up with facts; he'll call you a tough guy and say you have a bad attitude too.
    No one in here would argue you do not have one. I would imagine. You just went into it again. To no ones surprise.

    I know English is your second language so I mean no offense when I tell you that is still not a question lol
    Even if it was, I provided a quote which cites 2000 sources which should make you reconsider.

    Keep moving the  *looking back in the thread* goalposts. 

    But when do you see this superlockdown will be over then? If the vaccin comes in 18 months, which would be a record? When will kids in your country, where english is a first langauge, be back in school?

    No one is talking about turkey, but they seem to be in trouble too from this graph (?)

    I live in a county in Indiana with 5 documented cases.
    I work in a business that delivers into peoples houses and people bring stuff into the store.
    I am a 46 yr old male with asthma.
    Should I take some time off work?
    My boss is an 82 yr old women who still comes to work.
    The worst of times..they don't phase me,
    even if I look and act really crazy.

    If you can afford to, you might strongly consider the time off.  If not, I would do the distancing of 6 feet or more with everyone, wash hands often, and use 65% or greater alcohol wipes or Clorox wipes on everything that might  you and the boss come in contact with- things like supplies, door handles, counters, touch screens etc.  In any case, stay well and stay safe, Malroth!

    You should stay home.

    Is what you do essential?
    (For real?)

    The other question, I'm sure, is if you can get by without the money....

    Tough times.  Sorry that this is something you have to consider, Malroth

    Italy apparently had as many new cases as yesterday, which was a 2-week low.

    So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!



    Your recollection is vastly inaccurate. Think about that.

    I'm back after a week long ban.

    I am glad to know I am not the only "racist" person critical of China.

    I do not watch this Sky channel as I hate Rupert Murdoch and his press and I think this guy is a tool but I agree with him here...

    The world must never forget this act by China.
    I hope after this crisis is over that Australia, the USA, and other countries stop relying on China and take back manufacturing.
    Time to stop this over-reliance on China as they keep getting away with a lot of bad things.

    Even fellow students in my cohort and other people I know believe this was deliberate by China.
    So I am not alone in my thoughts. But anyways I will not go down that path further as I don't want to upset people here.

    Why are you so sensitive about China?
    Do you live there? Are you of Chinese background?
    Did you read what I shared in that article and did you watch that video?
    Why are you not allowing me to be critical of China? Why are you criticising me for criticising China?
    So you have no issue with their secrecy which led to thousands of innocent people dying around the world?
    Why did they not alert the WHO and other countries and stop flights leaving Wuhan when they first knew of this new virus? Doing so would have prevented this outbreak. 
    I don't understand you and others here.

    Btw, I feel sorry for the Chinese people, for the thousands that died during the Tiananmen Square massacre, those that fought for democracy from their evil totalitarian regime. Please do not conflate my criticism of China as being against the Chinese people as an ethnic group.
    When I say China I mean the CCP. For clarity's sake, henceforth I shall use the term 'CCP'.
    It's like me being critical of Australia or America, I am referring to the governments not the people.

    Because it is just another bs line by you...at first it was the US that was responsible.
    People are dying by the thousands and I don't think there is much to be gained your sensationalist garbage.  
    69 people died in the state that I live in, just today.

    You know it pisses some of us off, you said so above, but the first action back is to lob that in.

    And now it is people you know or people who ignore you at your University who are validating your garbage.
    Bravo.

    How would isolationism and protectionism solve this?  They are both failed foreign policy.  Good luck putting that genie back in the bottle.  We live in an internationally integrated economy. Do better.

    I never said the US was responsible nor do I believe that.
    Yes, people are dying and I am mad at China as they could have prevented this by not being secretive.

    China should be treated the same way North Korea is treated by the foreign community. Shunned.
    I'd be more than glad to buy Australian made clothes and appliances. Even if I have to pay more.
    This is the world's fault for being greedy (in wanting cheap labour).
