:wtf:. Why is the WHO worried about economics.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-51338899

quote:

The US and Australia said they would deny entry to all foreign visitors who had recently been in China, where the virus first emerged in December.

Earlier, countries including Russia, Japan, Pakistan and Italy announced similar travel restrictions.

But global health officials have advised against such measures.

"Travel restrictions can cause more harm than good by hindering info-sharing, medical supply chains and harming economies," the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday.

The WHO recommends introducing screening at official border crossings. It has warned that closing borders could accelerate the spread of the virus, with travellers entering countries unofficially.

Do they think they are setting up absolute quarantines? Even so, they will let critical people and items in. The internet exists. Cargo ships are going to be exempted as the voyage takes too long and the crew don't have to come ashore. Governments charter flights all the time. People that try to break quarantines are assholes official crossings or not. Has WHO gone full retard? Although not too surprised given they have acknowledged TCM and not put it next to Voodoo. Lets wait till everyone self quarantines for a month, lets see what that does to the economy. CDC guidance is 100% focused on the health implications.

quote:

China has criticised the wave of travel restrictions, accusing foreign governments of ignoring official advice.

"Just as the WHO recommended against travel restrictions, the US rushed in the opposite direction," foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said. "[It is] certainly not a gesture of goodwill."

As New Virus Spread, China’s Old Habits Delayed Fight

quote:

WUHAN, China — A mysterious illness had stricken seven patients at a hospital, and a doctor tried to warn his medical school classmates. “Quarantined in the emergency department,” the doctor, Li Wenliang, wrote in an online chat group on Dec. 30, referring to patients.

“So frightening,” one recipient replied, before asking about the epidemic that began in China in 2002 and ultimately killed nearly 800 people. “Is SARS coming again?”

In the middle of the night, officials from the health authority in the central city of Wuhan summoned Dr. Li, demanding to know why he had shared the information. Three days later, the police compelled him to sign a statement that his warning constituted “illegal behavior.”

It goes on from there, but not for me.

how can you know if someone is a "real street artist" or not? is there a certificate program or something you have to go through? is it a union thing where you have to apprentice first? does the dude who tags overpasses with "booger2030" count as a real street artist?

I live in a city with a lot of beautiful creative mural artists who decorate the city very well with large street paintings and scenes and letterings, its not that complicated of a concept and your response makes you look like a nerdo.

Is he a huge dick?

lushsux is an alt-right dickhead that is unwittingly hired by trendy homeowners and businesses to stencil memes on prime street art real estate. gently caress him and his forgettable unimaginative bullshit.

I don't care about his personality, he's painting meme garbage on walls that could be actually nice murals. He paints donald trump memes on Melbourne walls and posts them on instagram for americans. He sucks.

BECAUSE LUSHSUX

edit: he was probably paid to throw this up by some morone who didnt want the ears obstructing his weird solar powered security light thing

It doesnt actually matter because it is a funny meme and the business owner gets huge kudos for being urban

if he isn't respected by the local street-art community, what's stopping them from just painting over his poo poo? I get not liking him, but I don't understand how he is stealing real estate.

Ok that makes more sense. Well, it doesn't, but I now understand what you meant by him taking up space.

the idea of protecting street art was always strange to me, it's supposed to be transient. anyway, getting a bit off topic
