Lion, bat and pangolin off the menu as Chinese city of Wuhan bans consumption of wild animals

Finally!

- Ya, probably was just one market in one city. Just lazy journalists making shit up for laughsGnash
- How ignorant would someone have to be to buy and eat wild bats after this?yuekit
- Still, wet market is one way a virus like this can spread. The bigger trend is humans cutting down forests, taking away habitat of bats and other animals.yuekit
- It would be a mistake to think this could only happen via animal markets or only in China. The same coronavirus carrying bats exist all over the world includingyuekit

BMW to move production of electric Minis from UK to China

https://qz.com/2019322/why-lying…
During its seven decades of ruling in China, the Chinese Communist Party has become increasingly skilled at crushing street protests such as the 1989 Tiananmen Square student demonstrations. But the government is now facing a new form of resistance that may be a little harder to put down—“Tang Ping” (躺平) or lying flat, a passive approach to life that subtly thwarts the government’s desire to foster a hardworking and productive populace.
The concept advocates an almost monastic outlook, including not getting married, not having children, not having a job, not owning property, and consuming as little as possible.
For many, this is almost the only way in an authoritarian country to fight against the growing pressures from long work hours, skyrocketing housing prices, and the ever higher cost of raising children. Lifestyle philosophies based on rejecting ambition, and being a cog in China’s capitalist machine have been spreading in recent years, and “lying flat” is the latest culmination of such trends...
- so they got hippies now?pango
- It reminds me a bit of recent Western lifestyle trends like minimalism, moving off the grid, digital nomad etc.yuekit
- They frame it as a political thing here but it's more a response to extreme capitalism and living costs IMO.yuekit
- "not having a job, not owning property, and consuming as little as possible"
Sounds a lot like communism.palimpsest - ^ it sounds like rejecting capitalismkingsteven
- ^ exactlypalimpsest
- Lying flat is the perfect way to describe those lazy fuckshotroddy
- soon they're going to have long hair freaky people.pango
- Lol at Hotroddy. They reject communism and you still hate them.PhanLo
- roddy can relate about lying down, with all the bootlicking he does.face_melter
- @palimpsest: "not owning property" yes, and "consuming as little as possible" not officially, but still a yes...rzu-rzu
- ... however being employed is/was usually mandatory in communist states, so being an "unproductive parasite" does not fit well with the working class utopiarzu-rzu
- Those commies only want government handouts. That is their utopia.palimpsest
- I thought commies got gov handouts already, no question asked. isn't that the difference to the capitalists?uan
- I don't think there are many handouts in China. They don't have much of a welfare system at all.yuekit
- Lying down on the job is the American way...bunch of lazy fucks.utopian
- Sounds like posh c*nts on a 'Gap Yah'.

Yet another plane-load of shite
https://www.politico.com/news/20…
Canada's public health authority says around one million KN95 respirators acquired from China have failed to meet federal Covid-19 standards for use by frontline health professionals.
- I almost wonder if this might be intentional. By design in terms of supply chain and product manufacturing, China could absolutely exploitmg33
- the needs of adversaries in this crisis, by shipping junk to them.mg33
- But where would that get them? If China's doing shit like this on purpose for long-term game gains, it's got the rules awfully muddled up.Nairn
- https://mobile.twitt…Gnash
- Govt’s are afraid to make a stink about itGnash
- Each country needs to setup it's own PPE factories. We can't rely on CCP China, and we shouldn't, it's embarrassing.shapesalad
- That’s starting to happen. Hopefully countries will re-examine their entire supply chain, not just for ppe’sGnash
- maybe I'm wrong, but the gov did authorize buying KN95, that does not fully meet regulatory requirements. now it's anti china news?uan
- 100% shape salad. That's what I'm so enthusiastic about the transformative potential coming out of this. It can bring jobs back to the US in a big way.mg33
- And I just read the article and clicked on a link to get that information.uan
- We can bring multi-faceted manufacturing back, with the ability to quickly re-tool to make necessary goods, fill supplies, and do it when needed.mg33
- Like, if we can't figure out a better way as the "strongest nation in the world," we're pretty much doomed and this virus might as well wipe us all out.mg33
- "strongest nation in the world"... I fear you are getting prepared for going into war.uan
- @uan. They are defective. Kn95s can be used in hospitals if they’re made rightGnash
- but they say 'not suitable for medical care workers' they don't say defective. and they link to a list of products authorized under interim order.uan
- it's more likely they authorized them in case of emergency but they don't need them now (because of low cases), so news make them sound 'defective'uan
- KN95 is not the same as N95, might also be an important information to consider.uan
- No. The FDH says “... KN95 masks are an acceptable alternative to N95 models, but the masks in question did not meet the required filtering standards...”Gnash
- Canada didn’t buy them knowing they couldn’t be used. They are faultyGnash
- There’s no grey area here. The product was shiteGnash
- look, I totally can be wrong here. I'm just hanging out on qbn after don't know how much weeks of social distancing :-)uan
- I here ya. Giving Benefit of the doubt is a good trait to haveGnash
- This makes sense, China is in the business of destabilizing and weakening its enemies, and this could be a big fuck you for abducting Huawei’s princess_niko
- I would seriously doubt that they’re making crap on purpose.Gnash
- I think it’s just the nature of their system. It’s inevitableGnash
- We should all stop making our shits in China. Its like sending boats of money to a potential enemy since decades. They're laughing at us.Bennn
- China and the occident do not comply to the same standards, nothing more here ffs.i_was
- The Kn95 standard, while different, still complies with the intend use of the N95s. These kn95s were defective and did not even comply with it’s own standardGnash
- well, how defective is the question, defective can mean bad manufacturingi_was
- Defective enough to be unsafe.Gnash
- There is nothing in the text of the article that says the masks were defective.yuekit
- They could be defective, but it could also be some mismatch between how the masks were made by this company, vs. Canadian regulatory standards.yuekit
- Article also says Canada is going to try to use the masks anyway, although they don't meet the standards for medical personnel.yuekit
- In any case, the fact that people interpreted this article as "Chinese government is deliberately shipping us fake masks to kill us" shows you how far thisyuekit
- whole thing has gone.yuekit
- Fuck you China!utopian
- There are other articles that state that the masks were ‘defective‘. They’re defective, ffs. But I, too, don’t think they doing it on purpose.Gnash
- There are no end to articles that very clearly state that many shipments worldwide have been found to be ‘defective’Gnash
- Not that millions of the wrong masks were ordered. FfsGnash
- I find it amusing that ppl blame china and it‘s standards while it‘s clear it‘s the only nation that produces that stuff. and that‘s how it‘s been for years.uan
- imagine the volumes of ppe that they have to produce atm to satisfy the worldwide demand. and this after an epidemic with lockdown?uan
- if china closes export for what ever reason, good luck finding or producing own masks.uan
- Ya, it’s amusing that China is send shit to the worldGnash
- And, fortunately, countries have realized how fucked this is and have started making their own nowGnash
- yep, they started to buy chinese machines and material from china.uan

Yeah whatever. 14 deaths out of a billion people. More die taking selfies.
Here’s something a little more alarming, sepsis - kills 11 million people annually. That’s 1 in 5 deaths! Crazy.
- I fucking just became a apt stock millionaire. F u this is big!robotron3k
- I got Sepsis 2 years ago due to an infection. If my doctor didn't recognized the symptoms immediately and put me on a few antibiotics, I would of been dead...utopian
- ...within a two week timeframe. Scary shit to say the least.utopian
- and even scarier that we rarely hear about it. 1 in 3 hospital deaths is caused by sepsis. insane._niko
- Kind of a false equivalency. Sepsis is your body killing yourself due to infection. Wuhan is a contagious virus capable of human to human and human to animalgarbage
- infection. The quarantine has its merits. That like saying "Sepsis kills more people than car wrecks, so why do we need seatbelts?"garbage
- Truth be told, I haven't even noticed SARS when it happened. Hope this one will pass fast too. Sorry for those ppl in China tho'grafician
- Also as coming from a former communist country knowing how the government reacts in these cases, the spread is much worse, think 10x times worse by nowgrafician
- so if they say 40 ppl dead and 1400 infected in china, it's 100% 10x of that and exponentially spreadinggrafician

- It's hard to judge exactly how bad this particular virus is. But something like this...could be absolutely catastrophic and the world isn't ready :(yuekit
- from 41 to at least 60 deaths in 2 hoursutopian
- sars killed 800 total, bird flu killed 500 total, west Nile 2000, last Ebola killed 1500 and every other global panic killed a drop in the bucket compared to_niko
- ... 1. AIDS which still kills 1 million per year, 2. Cancer which kills 9.5 million per year and 3. Sepsis which kills 11 million per year._niko
- let´s hope it mutates and whipes us of the planet.neverscared
- To put it into perspective, 3500 people per year die from lightning strikes, and 7000 from bee stings. This virus won’t come close to this._niko
- ^but it come close to that and exceed it. The virus mutates and lives for a matter of hours X millions of people = a matter of time beforeshapesalad
- an incurable variant comes to fruition. without taking it seriously, it would spread massively and deadly.shapesalad
- It could be the next Spanish influenza, it could be the next Black Death, or it could fizzle like most others do, thanks mostly to our proactive efforts._niko
- Seems quite likely it will kill more than 3500.yuekit

Media are reporting that some people, in North America, now avoid going to chinese restaurants, sales of Corona beers is dropping (FFS!), they fear Chinese people when they cross their path, anything chinese related is a potential death threath... There's a testimony of a chinese accounting in the news this morning stating that some of ther clients refused to meet her in person for the moment and prefer to talk on the phone and emails. The woman is chinese but haven't gone to China since decades.
Its called paranoia and it highlight the fact that we're surrounded by stupid people.

The big picture is China's imperialistic ambitions to rule (the economies, for starters of) most of Asia and parts of Europe, Africa, Russia, and South & North America - check out BRI (Belt and Road Initiative)

- you need to evidence that at least 1.5m lab tests were done to show those were infected, not to mention those that are not.shapesalad
- So bollocks to that. You can guess, you can model. But you can’t say today 100% that 1.5m are infected. Bullshit.shapesalad

- I found me zerohedge a great outlet of fringe news. But you need to have ability to figure out the same bullshit as anywhere elsedeathboy
- In this case i never gave 2 second of thought about media hype on Sara Ebola pig flu. But something about this one is hitting my spider sense as more going ondeathboy
- Especially with Chinas actions. Not sure I believe zerohedge sources yet and waiting for more news. But wouldn't surprise me if posted there first.deathboy
- And the whole narrative of it orsnt quite pass the smell testdeathboy
- Question: How am I "orsnt" surpised that deathboy considers Zerohedge a legitimate news portal?garbage
- We have to take a grain of salt with every media outlet. Doesn't matter if MSM or alternative news. But ZH is also linking to other articles, outlets and tweetsNBQ00
- ...so don't kill the messenger. It's just interesting to read non-official stories on this topic because I'm sure Chinese gov is doing some cover-up.NBQ00
- Yeah but not all unofficial sources are equally reliable. If you're posting this stuff for entertainment purposes fair enough, but I'd hope no one actuallyyuekit
- thinks it's real. The Chinese billionaire mentioned in the article is well known for spreading made up stories. The woman on Twitter they keep citing works foryuekit
- Epoch Times, newspaper started by the Falun Gong which is basically a religious cult.yuekit
- Here's a debunking of the "China is burning bodies" rumor
https://www.reddit.c…yuekit - Yeah and you're using reddit for news sources.NBQ00
- Why is Reddit bad though? At least on there you've got people able to call out something that's fake or inaccurate.yuekit
- All I'm saying is, the real situation is bad enough without everyone spreading rumors that are probably not true. Ultimately I blame Chinese government,yuekit
- there is no transparency or trust and so people fill in the gaps with rumors.yuekit
- The Chinese government is probably the last one I'd trust on this.NBQ00

garbage, you are killing me lately, lolBonSeff - I love garbage trys to troll my zerohedge as possible news and neglects ukit Reddit... I submit as bias subject Adeathboy

A Virgin Mouse Gave Birth to a Litter of Baby Mice
No sperm necessary.
Researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University report the results of a new experiment where they were able to make a female mouse give birth to a baby mouse that grew from an unfertilized egg—something that has never before been accomplished in mammals. More than just a story of some eccentric scientists trying to play god, the new breakthrough may help us fully flesh out the role of genetics in regulating reproduction, and potentially provide insight into treating and even curing congenital diseases in people.

- they are NOT kicking 'our' asses... look at the amount of gw per person being output... we're destroying them based on population... they're 4x our sizePonyBoy
- i'd like to see the estimated watts the average US citizen uses compared to the average chinese—prob a hell of a lot more—if anything we are prob more wastefulPonyBoy
- but the US actually puts out more renewable energy per citizen... double that of China (according to this chart)... one can argue the US is leading the way herePonyBoy
- and based on Germany's population to gw output... they're basically tied w/the US... so they're also leading the way here (little as it may be)PonyBoy
- moldy— :) please don't think i'm arguing against renewable energy—I'm all for it / desire it as much as you. I'm just pointing out that China isn't leading herePonyBoy

- enters the meat section shows two places next to each other, and talks about the lights lolsted
- how about someone who has actually shopped at those markets? me. telling you that's a accurate representation of most wet markets.pango
- wet market in april 2020, 2019, 2018 aint gonna be so fucking different.
here an person who actually been to those market, telling you markets that sells exoticpango - animals are rare. are you gonna go flatearther on me? "those videos are manipulate, you work for government agency trying to hide the truth"pango

- Why should we believe you, huh? Huh? Your name is suspiciously close to "pangolin". Coincidence? Wake up, sheeple!jagara
- @pango I just copy-pasted the issues with his "revelations", these videos do more harm than good. first of all it does not allow in any form to get to know thested

thus leaving the viewer with many bases of assumptionsted - and you don't have to convince me.sted

- Pangolin burgers, almost as good as Donkey burgers.shapesalad

Hold my hand, pango.
Let's be 'buddies'.Continuity - @benn how about me telling you that's how it is?pango
- did you know pango wants to change the name of 'British Columbia' bc Columbus spread diseases in the new world upon visiting it? --Oh the irony.hotroddy
- Ya, let’s all pretend that it’s just one secret, cloaked, market in Wuhan that rich people have secret access to. LolGnash
- lol ya keep telling us how much you know about it.pango
- changing BC's name? couldn't care less. if it gets changed? *shrug. but i wouldn't push for it cuz its gonna cost me money.
i don't see the irony...pango - it wasn't a cloaked market. it was a legal market. In fact people did try to ban exotic animal but it got lifted cuz of private lobbying.pango
- It’s still legal via the TCM loophole they left in. and it’s only a 5-year ban. #covid2025Gnash
- that does sound concerning. if its true. its the first thing anyone of you said that's not completely stupid.pango
- I know it wasn’t’ a ‘cloaked’ market - hence my use of “pretend”. you’re pushing this false narrative that it’s this one-off, localized and rare occurrence.Gnash
- Which it most certainly is not.Gnash
- false narrative? fuck off. i'm saying its not as common as you all think it is.
have you been to one? how many are there?pango - go try to find 1 person who has actually had bats or pangolin. ozzy doesn't count.pango
- Let's be honest. None of you know fuck all about these markets, nor have you ever been to China nor lived in China to have seen and lived among them whatsoever.Khurram
- These "wet markets" are basically markets where they sell live animals and slaughter them in the same place. They exist over the entire "developing" worldKhurram
- There's hundreds all over Thailand, in Bangkok, SE Asia, Africa, Latin America, India, Pakistan. That's how people have bought their meat for centuries.Khurram
- That's still how you buy your lobsters. Pick an animal, kill an animal, cook an animal, eat an animal.Khurram
- And I don't even know how Pangolins got dragged into this. They look delicious, by the way. You have no idea it has anything to do with PangolinsKhurram
- The animal that produces coronaviruses is bats. And it always goes from bats >> domestic farm animal >> humans. Not straight from bats to humans.Khurram
- That's how MERS happened (camels), that's how avian flu happened (chickens). Everyone's acting liek afucking expert nowKhurram
- Plus TURTLES! White people used to eat turtles right up until the last century. Turtle soup was a fucking thing: https://www.tasteofh…Khurram
- If you can eat turtles, why can't you eat pangolins?Khurram
- Pango, you’re being intentionally dense or you are dense. I never once said they are EVERYWHERE. But you’re talking like there’s just a couple of them around’Gnash
- And what's that twat talking about dogs?? We've co-evolved with them since the beginning of time. There's no bother with dogs.Khurram
- An oddity. And they’re not.Gnash
- Of course they are all over the world, Khurram. What’s the point? And it’s not like buying lobster a Loblaws, ffsGnash
- And it’s not just about food, many of the exotics as used in TCM. Nothing like eating wolf puppies for extra boner powerGnash
- You're the one being dense. I never said you said it's it's everywhere. But you-all talk like it's everywhere.pango
- Ugh.Gnash
- and to demonstrate how uncommon it is. i want you to find someone who had eaten pangolin. or bat.pango
- Fffs, you’re right. They sell them as pets. It’s not ‘Wet’, it’s Pet!Gnash
- What’s the fucking difference if they eat them or grind up their testicles and make tea for boners?Gnash
- They sell the fuckers in wet markets! Maybe you don’t drink pangolin blood, but enough people do to sell the fuckers in stallsGnash
- No one is saying every other person in China has a bag full bat heads they carry for snacks, ffs.Gnash
- What's wrong with pangolins??!! They look delicious!Khurram
- pango isn't dense, he is just fed up with all this bullshit, what I can completely understand. stay safe cunts i have to go to the market for some skippy meat.sted
- lolsted
- The bullshit that exotic animals don’t help with boners and cancer, or the bullshit of ignoring the reality that this exotic animal economy is huge in China?Gnash
- Lol. The belief that one acquires the properties of an animal that you consume, isn’t specific to China.Gnash
- But if feeds a massive industry there.Gnash
- @Khurram - I've lived throughout Latin America. That's a load of BS! Maybe just in Africa and the Orientalhotroddy
