Calm down, this thing isn't going to wipe out humanity.

It won't do it right away, but this'll kill everyone who doesn't develop an immunity or resistance to it. Over the next three generations we're going to lose 65% of the population of our species.

Unless we start geneengineering our immune systems, we're fucked.

There's no difference between this and what smallpox did to the new world.

Many nations that exist now, won't exist by the end of this decade. Most of us who are posting here, will be dead within the next five years. We are fucked

I should have expected that really

And where did you get your doctorate in virology Professor? There is nothing but speculation so calm down. Remember the last big pandemic fizzled before it started because the virus mutated into a form that made it less virulent. You can't predict what will happen.

Smallpox was a far nastier customer than this thing in an era where people didn't even know what a virus was. Relax. If nothing else no point dying in a huff

You expect me to believe the egg heads when they're all lying and or compromised?

Especially the ones who draw a government paycheck?

Fuuucck that.

I think in varies, Government employed ones? Pinch of salt because they likely have other concerns but there are plenty of unaffiliated specialists out there. I'll take the word of someone who has dedicated his life to this sort of thing and is speaking from both knowledge and with a basis in fact. The guys at Hopkins seem pretty solid to me, plus by this point there are plenty of doctors with hands on experience and many thousands of people who have made a full recovery.
Those are the facts I'll use.

You've got two extremes here, you've got people ignoring it and calling it just another flu and you've got people calling it a civilisation killer. Both extremes are not reading all the facts, the truth is going to be in the middle. Where exactly in the middle is going to be down to hundreds of factors, personal health only being a fraction of them.

It isn't something to brush off, but it isn't something to jump to the other extreme over either. Take precautions, be alert and aware, and don't worry about things you can't control.

Fuuucck that.
bro you just posted cringe, you will lose subscriber.


Also, I agree. If this did escape a lab, then we do have a casus belli against China and we should wait until they are fully weakened from the virus and then pursue conventional war against them with the goal of dismantling the CCP utterly. Their own citizens are so mad at them right now, they would support us.
I'll tell you right now you don't understand the Chinese. Ten million Chinese could die tomorrow due to government incompetence and the average demoralized serf would not so much as tell their neighbors they were worried.

The alternative is to wait until America is practically disabled by the virus, and then China hits us on our own turf while they’re just recovering.
China hasn't won a war in 500 years, and they were scrambling to keep their country from imploding violently before they lost the chokehold on half the world's market and a years worth of productivity. The last time we fought China we were comfortably taking 20:1 odds or more and that was before we owned the entire ocean of the planet.

The Culling or damaging of those who don't follow basic advice will be screeching to the high heavens asking the question. Why did this happen to me? Was my Gender Studies degree not enough, drinking in excess, and partying when people said don't do it.

Normally, yes. But everyone has their breaking point. For the average mainlander, that point is fast approaching. I’ve seen numerous vids of tearful whistleblowers complaining about the brutality of the official response. I’ve seen rioting and people getting in fisticuffs with the cops and volunteer militia over there. People are angry. They’re angrier than they’ve ever been at the CCP. They are finding that they don’t quite like the idea of being treated like cattle.
Rich people. Inner party members. The serfs that keep the machine running will work until they're dying by the millions.

The technology they have now is a considerable threat. They have ballistic missiles with hypersonic glide warheads, and decoys for their SAM sites. Conducting anti-radiation warfare and air defense penetration against them would be difficult and costly, and meanwhile, they could launch cruise missiles or ballistic missiles at our allies in the region. They can’t stop us, but they could stall us. If we played our cards right, we could instigate a civil war in the PRC over the matter of this virus and their brutal quarantine measures. That would tie up the PLA so badly, we could rip through them like tissue paper.
Ah, you've been taking the 4chan changpill. "China has announced the end of US naval supremacy" and all that shit.
The Chinese hypersonic missile program is a fucking joke, meanwhile a single day of bombing could cripple china permanently. We would, in fact, rip through china like tissue paper.

What relief is being held up for.
Of fucking course, the Dems wanted to ram through another 'woke-diversity' provision on the country instead of shit that matters.

Americans will remember which party held up this relief over their obsession with trying to enforce 'wokeness' on the world. Trump should start digging into any and all connections the Dems have to China, and begin criminal proceeding against those fuckers. It's time for the deep state and their CCP masters to burn.

We could, in theory, CRISPR ourselves to have a version of ACE2 that is much less efficient at binding with SARS-CoV-2’s spikes. Make transgenic humans that have, like, mouse ACE2 or something. That would fix the problem. Too bad it would mostly only be effective as an in-utero modification for future generations of humans.

Well nothing can be done for us, unless we're able to use stem cell therapy to regenerate fibrotic tissue. So its more about the handful of kids we can save.

America is going to lose a quarter of a billion people over the next fifteen years because of this. The least we can do is keep the survivors ahead of the curb.

Blow the three gorges dam while they're weak? Then hit every major industrial center with nuclear hellfire? At least, we'd kill as many of them as they're going to kill of ours.


The alternative is to wait until America is practically disabled by the virus, and then China hits us on our own turf while they’re just recovering. This is definitely a Mexican Stand-off that could push us to the brink of war. The CCP are not a legitimate government. If they developed a bioweapon and accidentally released it, they are hostis humani generis and must be disposed of as the pirates that they are.

I don't think the goal of the PRC is to invade, I think they're trying to subvert the world and turn us all into their little crackwhores.

Which they've succeeded at.

I’m tired of watching these cocksuckers take over the internet, control narratives, take over moderation and staff positions on social media sites, and brainwash people in the West with their wumao bullshit. I see them everywhere, pushing their China-supremacist narrative that the CCP is a legitimate government. They must be exposed for the scum that they are.

Agreed.

The thing about woke politics is that its inherently self distructive in good times. In bad times when people have real problems you run the risk of a very real preference cascade against you.

@The Immortal Watch Dog I think we've had enough black-pilling for now.

Meanwhile, here in South Africa the president went on the air a couple of hours ago to announce a "Lockdown" - starting on Thursday and running for 21 days. Only certain essential industries will be running, everyone else is expected to stay home.

I agree, we should keep a balanced view of this. Be cognizant of the risks, but not freak out...too much. Some freaking out is justified. Though I am just reiterating what I said earlier, we shouldn't downplay or overplay the risks of COVID-19, but I don't think we should be alarmist. If it is that dangerous, we should react in a more sober manner, and treat it with the solemn gravity it needs.
