- my best mate is British Chinese. He's just sent me this. He's experienced some horror (and his family) over past few weeks.fadein11
- Yup, the most shit on people. Contribute so much to society, mind their own business and get no respect_niko
- I'd take it a step further and say it's tied in with the sudden anti-China rhetoric. We're now getting stuff like this from leading US politicians:yuekit

- And yeah I get it, Chinese government is bad and they contributed to this crisis. But if you became a professional China hater within the past year at the sameyuekit
- time U.S. government pivoted towards making China the officially designated enemy, should be asking why and if some nuance is needed.yuekit
- yuekit, yep. And always respect for your stuff on here xfadein11

- Two possibilities
1- China didnt eradicate virus they eradicated people
2- People shut phones off because of gov surveillence.Beeswax - my guess...a combination of bothutopian
- according to that chart, there's usually a 2 million subscriber swing month to month? and that they lost all 8 million subscribers between jan and february? lo_niko
- if they lost all subscribers they either went out of business or were temporarily shut down, doesn't mean all of their subscribers died or coronavirus ffs._niko
- or is that 745, 370 in (thousands) so out of 745 million customers they lost 8 million? most likely people were quarantined together and didn't need 6 phones_niko
- in the same household so they cut the service to save a buck i'd imagine.
if it was a cover up i'm sure they wouldnt let the state owned mobile release numbers_niko - Check this. She now says 15 mil. lost https://twitter.com/…
But there are other opinions in the repliesBeeswax - The possibility that China is telling the truth about their numbers is zeroGnash
- This woman works for the Epoch Times a far right paper and posts some pretty ridiculous conspiracy theories.yuekit
- We’re supposed to believe 8 million people died and no one noticed?yuekit

China has over 1B population. The CCP doesn‘t give a shit about the old anyway most likely. Thus they probably doing massive cover up and pretend like they got rid of the virus. While rest of the world is reporting true numbers.
- possibly yes, but ranting your brain sharts right now is maybe counter-productive no?fadein11
- That‘s what we do on QBN. Isn‘t that the whole point?NBQ00

Some "news":
"An Italian town tested all 3,300 residents, found 3% positive and 1.5% asymptomatic. After quarantining them and their contacts, it cut new COVID-19 cases to zero."
Also it seems there "50-75% of COVID-19 cases are completely asymptomatic but contagious"
^FUCKIN EXAMPLE ON HOW TO MANAGE THIS QUICKLY
"Tom and Rita Hanks have been released from the hospital!"
^Finally some good news!
"A critical care nurse in Britain has made a tearful appeal to members of the public to stop stripping supermarket shelves of food after she came off a shift and was unable to buy supplies for her family."

Ok and last thing for the day/night...
Contrary to popular opinion, this article gives the scenario of about 50% of population getting infected but under 1% deaths a run for it's money:
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-n…
Give it a read, it's an interview - the numbers pretty much check, please ignore the title involving Trump tho'
As someone said in the comments: "even a broken clock tells the time twice a day"
- 50% infected gives the virus a R0 under 1 so there's no more room to spread and it will die out. But are we ok with around 1% deaths?grafician
- btw, also Israel developed a quick vaccine and it will deploy in a few weeks. IF it works, we're in luck, this will be over sooner than later.grafician
- 1% is like the flumonospaced
- Is it? Never checked the flu statsgrafician
- Flu is 0.1%yuekit

Mega Rant.
I feel so frustrated... I don't consider myself a smart one.. in fact I'm quite stupid from time to time, and I usually don't understand "logical" things the same way like others (ie: wife).
Anyways, this pandemic is really testing my nerves, cause I think that aggressive shut-downs, law enforced quarantines, strong government intervention in public economy, decrees protecting the private economy, absolute redirection of the budget towards healthcare (buy hotels, they are closing!, turn them into hospitals)... the list could go on... For me: SHOULD BE ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MANDATORY.
It's basic! Needs no genius! It's like playing TEG: You got a threat, close the border. You feel at risk: focus all your efforts till you feel safe.
As I posted above: Uruguay got 135 infected in one week. What would the govt do? Well.. I just heard the economy minister talking about rates, loans, the market, the companies... makes me SICK! We're talking about thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of people dying here... Is the economy SO fucking essential, even if we're facing a life threatening disaster, that governments prefer to sift their actions and measures through the fucking economy sieve? It's incomprehensible. And it is perceived all the time: "work from home: NO". Suddenly ... "work from home: YEI!". Malls: closed. Supermakets, hell no! Quarantine: "Yeah, for the infected". (135 infections) "Wow... maybe we should declare a general quarantine"... Still waiting; meanwhile: hundreds of people spreading the virus out there. Awesome.
- Money and property are more important than human lives. 100%PhanLo
- the economy is kind of important to keep the food moving to stores, medicine to hospitals. A total stop means revolution in 2weeks when the food runs out.monNom
- Around here we already have all those measures. Speed is key - like Facebook, move fast and break things!grafician
- I get your rant - but a dire economy could kill many more than a virus. At least if there's not a safety net for the less fortunate and fragile.inteliboy
- @monNom, I think an actual revolution is what gvmnts are taking their butts out.maquito
- And I honestly think it is a revolution what might save thousands of lives.maquito

So many Republicans were like "build the wall" but now they're like "I don't even know anyone with coronavirus, it's all the media being ridiculous".

- If you stayhome, you don't use a car so you don't need gas so you don't get infected - duhgrafician
- and they were all laughing at oregon for being last to let you pump your own gas...colin_s
- I'll be staying home, but for a lot of Americans they drive fucking miles, cars are their lifeline.PhanLo
- I was looking at the gaspump while I filled up the other day (wearing gloves, gotta watch those watering holes), I don't think they had EVER been cleaned.monNom
- I filled my car up early today and went food shopping wore gloves the entire time. Hopefully this will be my last trip outside for a while, stay safe!utopian
