Re: Coronavirus
I'm like pretty sure you're baiting but if you actually believe this I'm willing to throw down with you. This has to be the worst take I've ever seen from a person in the wild.

Re: Coronavirus
Got another potential avenue of exposure; a coworker who was asymptomatic last week missed work on Friday and has been home since, despite us having an alternating work schedule. I've been in the same room as them on at least one occasion last week.
They tried reaching someone else at our office and got me, and after I said that they sounded like shit over the phone, they told me that they were showing multiple symptoms matching common COVID-19 symptoms. I hope they can get tested. It's legitimately unnerving having a potential positive case that close. Last edited by TC_Halogen; 03-25-2020 at 08:21 PM.. |

edit: mn w/ the stay at home order starting friday let's gooooo also shit halogen. i'd suggest preemptively self isolating if that's something you're able to do so you don't get your loved ones sick but also what would i know? or at least beginning to decrease contact, because it sounds like you're at high risk of eventually getting the disease got my mom to agree to letting my grandma stay at her place today so that was good last i heard my grandma doesn't like my bro so i'm hoping to hear nasty grandma comments but who knows, who knows what my grandma's heard about me now

Because of this essential requirement, they're trying to strike a medium of having in-office separation and teleworking -- partially because of infrastructural capacity and partially because of occupation-specific stuff. We've been relegated to half time in, half time out - for now. I imagine things will change immediately if said person comes back positive. It may also lead to the most anxiety-inducing, unsettling, terrifying next few weeks of our lives. |

Re: Coronavirus
Initially when China got that virus first, I was like, yeah, I know the Chinese there who never really pay attention to things like hygiene, wearing mask, and their government being the shady type who are 'officially' being known to cover cases and events if possible, controlling the media etc and such such.
And eventually, the virus was so serious that even the government had to block those in wu hang from leaving the area. Fast forward to .... A shortage of masks until they came back to supply eventually. Tissues out of stock. Soccer matches being either put on hold or cancelled. Players being affected by the virus. And worst off.. people who casually sit and talk and getting close to each other without wearing masks, especially those who are either tourists or western foreigners. Number of cases that all of a sudden went skyrocket etc. Perhaps someone is getting something wrong, and the world has to pay for it. |

You really do not know a little bit of a picture, or is too ignorance as to what communism countries look like. Seeing you just jump in as your first post, lets go in a bit of detail, but without derailing too much. Or, maybe you are a bit lucky living in a free country. A bit off topic, but the coverups that China and those free countries are a lot different from each other. So generalizing that other countries covering up their cases too, means you are quite rash in concluding that China is just as good or bad as yours. The fact is, there is *immense* difference between part freedom, and simply no freedom. You really need to go back and educate yourself. For the least, hospitals and medias in places that got more freedom, will report cases and their reliance is much better than the China ones, where the Chinese government will simply murder anybody who ever tried to attempt to disclose the problem -- their media is zero reliance, and even their own people knows it. If their media did tell you something, it means it's too widespread that everyone might have already known something about it, that it is already impossible to hide. That's it. You believing me or not, is your own business. I don't want to go too deep on this. All I can tell you is, people in China might not even know what we commonly knew solely because of their media and government. So the bottom line is, the westerners will have their media reporting what is happening and something related to the virus. The Chinese media in China will not. In where I live at least, medias are totally trustworthy in something like the case of the virus. We still trust that there are individual independent press that will strive to report *at least* public issues, minus politics, that matters to the people that live in where I do. And thus we still have a reliable source of info when it comes to the coronavirus. Although some press in my place are turning towards being controlled by China, there are at least still sources that are reliable. We still have the freedom to ignore those newspapers that are China controlled. It's not our only way to read news. And kudos on free internet in my place still lol. And perhaps for you too. The poor Chinese in China cannot even get to facebook, let alone other sources of news. Ps: If you still insist that other medias from other countries does cover up something as well, I have nothing to say to you. |

Re: Coronavirus
I absolutely refuse that countries like America are anywhere near the restraints that China puts on their citizens daily, to the point that this one line argument to try and derail LvsL's point looks....just like that: a one line response to try and derail LvsL's point.

Re: Coronavirus
so you're censuring china's political system? sure, i agree that china ain't perfect, and they sure as hell misstepped early on. but shutting wuhan down saved a lot of lives and we gotta give 'em credit for how they handled things later on in the outbreak.
this isn't just a "chinese" virus anymore. stop looking to china. the us is the epicenter now, and before it was italy. this is a global issue. most countries are making mistakes speaking of mistakes though, man fuck the housing system. the homeless are exempt from the shelter in place order BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO SHELTER. so shelter them. give them hand sanitizer. don't make me fucking do it because i don't wanna see old folks die and shelters aren't real shelter

Re: Coronavirus
Lol well we can already see how much of a hypocrite you are by saying his response is illegitimate solely based on this being his first post on that account. Meanwhile your post was your 2nd, making your remarks very immature and limited to your narrow mindedness, so can anyone reading your comments truly believe such a person that tries to display their dominance in knowledge by making those you’re speaking to feel inferior through your ‘superior’ responses. Unfortunately I do not live in China, but I have lived there on company grounds for enough time to understand your point of view on this subject. While you insist his ignorance leads him to a false education on the conditions of certain countries, I find it ignorant of you to feel all of western society is equal. When in reality the media is absolutely different dependent on where you are. As China isn’t the only country to restrict their media, not all western countries report with as much clarity as others do and there’s not a single country that reports with 100% accuracy either. And even though there may be more freedoms in internet usage in these western countries, information can be achieved anywhere if you have the means of getting it/gaining access to it. For example China doesn’t have YouTube but their video sharing website similar to YouTube has users that post content from YouTube as their own. Meaning they found a way and acquired those videos in their own ways. I will agree that the severity of China is much worse than the information given for the public to be aware of (although we were in a city far away, they sent us home early January with mandatory quarantine for 2 weeks upon arrival while we were already under heavy restrictions as it was), but to say other countries, even ones that are better off than others, are always truthfully reporting shows how naive and confident you are. If that makes you feel safe and sleep better every night then no one should take that away from you. Every government has their own agenda. But fortunately enough a lot of these countries are far better off than a lot of outside media makes it to be. Governments need ways to pressure people to follow rules in order for everyone to be on the same page or else these quarantines won’t work! While things certainly are bad (people really are dying and most of the world has been put to a halt), medical supplies and personnel are scarce, there are those (in every country) that don’t follow the rules and put others at risk because they only think of themselves (I have a friend in South Korea that was unfortunately telling/showing my friends and I about going out to bars or going to get togethers which isn’t helping), and so on. There are countries that are doing a great job at handling this but it’s not enough and we all need to stop being selfish and listen for the time being to help this pandemic from growing. It’s always sad seeing someone make a comment such as “if you respond to me saying (this or that), I have nothing to say to you” shows so little of you. Then again going by your entire response I’m not surprised, but by you being subjected to your own personal thoughts and opinions and the stubbornness to not allow yourself to branch freely from those beliefs is pretty ridiculous. You need to realize there’s a lot more going on in the world regarding this virus than just the severity in China and how China is ruled. It’s already at the point where China isn’t the focal point anymore and it’s these ‘western countries’ that need to get themselves together to start handling this properly.

Re: Coronavirus
To all:
Whatever. The point I want to make is, you do not know what really happened to China and how long that virus had been going before it went international, because of how the China government works. It might have been there for half a year, for a month, or even for a year or so etc. To whoever feeling offended, then let it be it lol. Edit: After all, you have your opinion. Since the first offensive type post came out, it's time to stop. Last edited by LvsL; 03-27-2020 at 04:38 AM.. |

Opposite opinions are fine, but there is a line here that is crossed that covers personal insult to me, that I will not accept. Calling people is different from saying that other people's opinion are wrong. By the way, it's against the rule to do so. If you want to post in the future, either keep your insults private, or simply quit posting. If you can't fund a healthy discussion, I will say it direct, butt off. Calling anyone else here and getting yourself all up like this to me or other people is not the way the thread should be. Otherwise, any discussions can be resumed. But specifically you, the one who called people insult, you should be the one out of this thread. You know who you are. Just give us a favor and quit. ------ Back to topic, here was what happened to China and how it spreaded. People there do not put trust on the government, so when there's something happening, they simply won't listen to them. Everyone in China knew they are unreliable, sneaky, and following their orders or advice means they are disadvantaged. Consider that the China Chinese never follow rules in a daily base, it just made things worst. To people in where I live, they are in a sense, are really trouble makers. But we cannot blame them. They just don't have such concept, and they do not understand rules as good as most of us do. People were scared because their city turned into a virus city, and they ran as fast as they could to other countries, especially those who can afford transport and air tickets etc. They just wanted to "get out of it". That was why they need to be controlled. But consider how so widespread it was already, those who ran brought the virus everywhere to the international countries. |

Re: Coronavirus
K so going to step in here and say these recent conversations are not going in a good direction and should be dropped.
Let's try to keep this thread more informational rather than a debate on sensitive topics. A lot of fuck ups have been made and there's no changing that now. Plus many of us are already stressed enough with all of this going on. Feel free to talk about how you're doing, what's going on in your city and share recent information/developments. |

Re: Coronavirus
I'm currently working from home until April 3rd, as all non-essential businesses in Nashville were made to close.
I'm pretty sure it'll get extended before then, or at least I hope so. My fiancée has an auto-immune disorder, and must not get this virus. Last edited by JohnRedWolf87; 03-27-2020 at 03:35 PM.. |
