Maybe not. I have toilet paper. I have guns. And I have a $600 kayak. So fuck you, David Geffen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China has also - Blamed this pandemic on both Italy and the USA, telling its citizens that the virus originated outside of China Banned all foreigners from entering the country, even visa holders, blaming them for bringing the virus back and "restarting" infections Banned all foreigners currently inside China from being out in public, for the most part, by issuing advisories to most businesses to deny foreigners access - including grocery, pharmacy and hospitals Expelled all foreign media Disabled 21 million cell phones over the last 3 weeks (probably not death related, more than likely information control measures due to an ongoing outbreak) Forbade any medical sites from submitting any new confirmed corona cases, as if they do they will have to "bear the full responsibility" - whatever that means in communist-speak Sent 70% faulty tests and compromised medical goods (masks, PPE, etc) to multiple countries while making them pay for these supplies Actively bought up all PPE available in Australia while still telling the world that this virus was not transmissible human to human Roped the W.H.O. in with (money? access? political favors?) and had them providing the entire world outside of China with dangerous, false information, ultimately delaying the response and leading largely to where we are today Nobody should be looking at China's numbers at this point. They are throwing off models and contributing to poor/misinformed decisions being made.

I know it would be ridiculous to ask you to cite sources for all of this information here, but if half of what you write here is factual, it is appalling. At minimum, I agree that there is a high probability that the Chinese are, indeed, skewing the truth in order to mollify their populace, and bolster their international reputation.

Tpoppa Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 China has gone to much trouble to appear like a Capitalist country. Make no mistake they are still Communists they just pretend to be Capitalist to benefit from international trade $$ They are still information-suppressing, people-living-in-fear, boot-on-the-throat Communists. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snot Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Lab created virus? I have not heard any new news on how it spreads, how long it last (average), if you can get it mulitple times or how to kill it. The way it spread so fast makes me think it can be transmitted easier than what we are told. I have not heard if products like Lysol (spray) or other disinfectants work.

Hand-sanitizers with an alcohol content of at least 62% are considered effective by the CDC. Lysol is also approved as an effective surface disinfectant--this is what we use around our house. Parenthetically, DeWine and his team closed Ohio schools until May 1 this year during today's statehouse press briefing. I'm confident that this school year will effectively be over very soon.

Verifying facts and dispelling speculation/misinformation is almost totally impossible in this panic-fueled environment. As you imply, negative reports of the spead/containment of this scourge have consequences for countries that "do business" with the USA.

This is the kind of information we are not getting. On another note 18 people died this week from floods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
