China Wuhan Virus Pandemic

[Arch Dornan]

There's still a spike of them involving comics and their targeting of certain YouTubers, but most of them have sort-of gone quiet because real-life, like the Virus and people's growing intolerance for their bullshit in this time of crisis, doesn't give a shit about pandering to them.

Reality is a hard, bitter slap to the face.

Edit: Amusingly, people on #MGTOW channels are reporting that "strong, independent women" are trying everything they can to schmoozy up to blokes that can provide, mostly due to curfews, self-isolation, et cetera, so they can stay at home.

The comic artists are in trouble now that their funding is in jeopardy. The virus fucked them.

The main distributor of the comics has shut down their warehouses. From the news story they seem to be the primary distributor from all the major publishers. Everyone is going digital and old businesses are dying due to one outbreak.

Only if there's a demand but that's another issue I don't feel like making a new thread for.

Yeah. The Chinese are like the Soviets back in the 40's involving nuclear research, like holding plutonium with their hands (based on lack of knowledge/half-complete stolen US research, et cetera), at best.
At worst, they're malicious.
And yet the media are still trying to shill for China.

What in the ever-loving fuck.

The media people are showing their true nature and loyalties?

Maybe China actually is trying to deliberately fuck us over.

Communists wanting to overthrow the free-market world? Say it ain't so...

This must be what Chernobyl looked like when people fucked off the streets.

It still hasn't hit the fan, yes this looks bad but as long as the sheep are still afraid to walk the streets you know the welsh are shill there alive and kicking.

Except DC and Marvel sent out "Pencils down, dont even finish the page you're working on" emails to literally every single writer and artist they had staffed, and have not given them any indication when or if they'll ever be called back to work, so yeah, I'm thinking thats a bad sign.

Or a good sign, technically.

And they can still do thier work at home on the computer like almost if not all comics are done these days.
But this is not for this thread

Well Sweden still has open borders and no lockdowns. It seems like a good experiment to compare the two approaches for future issues. At the cost of human lives etc etc.

No lockdown here: Sweden defends its more relaxed coronavirus strategy

While the rest of Europe imposes severe restrictions on public life and closes borders and businesses, Sweden is taking a more relaxed approach to the coronavirus outbreak.

And the results speak for themselves.

Sweden, 11 million people, Poland 38 million.
(total number of confirmed carriers of the virus).

From:

Szwecja vs Polska. Porównanie liczby zarażeń SARS-CoV-2

W Szwecji na 28 marca odnotowano łącznie 3326 przypadków osób zarażonych koronawirusem. Zmarło 105 osób. W Polsce odnotowano łącznie 1638 przypadków nosicieli koronawirusa. Zmarło 18 osób.

"On 28th of March, 249 new cases in Poland, 378 new cases in Sweden. In Poland, 1638 cases total with 18 dead. In Sweden, 3326 cases in total, 105 dead."

"Sweden, yes" my ass...

This is a good word to pass around. CHO instead of WHO.

We apparently have gone past the point where Trump thinks trying to calm people down will do any good; he's openly admitting now that this is going to be bad.




100,000 dead, minimum; is anyone foolish enough to still say that the flu is worse?

We are now past the point were people can prepare, keeping people from running to the stores is no longer needed, so he doesn’t need to be optimistic. Now if anything he has an incentive to be pessimistic, for political reasons, since the bigger the problem, the better his results look.

I keep on waiting for it explode in the developing world.

Africa, India, and Latin America. The west has struggled enough, but the hammer may yet fall the hardest there.

I expect the virus to kill tens of thousands in Africa alone ,maybe more.

Call me a pessimist, but I don't think Africa is going to be able to handle this pandemic better than America. If we're going to have 100,000 dead from this thing minimum, I shudder to think of how bad it's going to get for African nations.
