Cornyn is extra dumb calling out cultures that eat anything. He was born in Houston, he's for sure been around Cajuns.

Hadlock posted:New Orleans chat: Honestly, so far, I'm enjoying the experience way more than Sandy, where I lived in NJ, our power was only out 9 days. Some people were out over 2 weeks. That was 9 days of cold showers (for us; some friends were still on septic, and had no running water at all. Good luck flushing), no heat, no hot food (electric stove), and no light, no work, and no internet. And the day after we got the power back, there was a huge snowstorm that took it out again. And yeah, the grocery stores had huge empty sections, because they had to throw out all the perishable goods. And there were gas shortages. It got to the point where gas had to rationed, and you could only buy it based on the last number of your license plate and the day of the week. There are still people who were unable to return to their homes because of the destruction and financial devestation. More recently, 80% of Puerto Rico lost power, up til 11 months, after hurricane Maria. They're currently struggling with outages after a series of earthquakes, not that that's on the radar what with juicy tp shortage stories. To say that Americans have never been without for more than 7 days is sheer ignorance and stupidity. Yes, this virus is terrifying, and wreaking a kind of devastation that we have never experienced in our lifetimes, but let's not downplay the other disasters we've already dealt with.

In a human way, not just someone pulling the strings. There are points when you can sort of see the hair on them. Still looks weird though (why I inspected it like a weirdo) Ah, right at the start you can see them moving loads too. Still looks fake as gently caress at points though lol YerDa Zabam fucked around with this message at 14:37 on Mar 19, 2020 |

my local fb is literally calling the chinese "chicoms" and I got screamed at and called anti-american for telling them that's racist. the south deserves this plague. also rattlesnake isn't the most common of meats but you can absolutely get it in butcher shops and grocery stores in a lot of places so what the gently caress is he on?

Sewer Adventure posted:Yeah, you just fill out a bit of paper saying why you’re going out. It’s pretty dumb but deters people from casually going out. Yeah in Belgium they just asked people to respect the guidelines and that's it. The police will ask you what you are up to and make sure there's only one person in the car. A police officer was interviewed and they asked him "Can't people lie about why they take their car?" and he was like "Of course they can, we just hope most peope will be civil enough not to and understand the importance of the situation". It was refreshing to be considered as responsible adults. Honestly I think it's going to work mostly. Since pretty much everything besides grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations and post offices are closed, there's not a lot of places you may go to alone in your car. e: it's like child care; technically they remain open to help parents working in medical or social services. So they just sent us a message saying "please, if you can, keep your children at home even if we can't refuse them here". Surprisingly there was only 1 baby in my daughter's childcare on the second day of lockdown. It's nice that everyone is playing along, trying not to be a jerk SpaceGoatFarts fucked around with this message at 14:50 on Mar 19, 2020 |

Rime posted:Yeah, they had African Swine Fever (a name used by all major international news agencies, ya trigger-happy loons) . Good read though, if you never heard about the extent of the swine epidemic there it explains why. you don't have to believe any given statement from Beijing to use it to interpret what might actually be happening. if the infections were still growing strongly in china it would not be able to hide that information. total deaths, total number of infected - all obviously lower than reality. but as far as the general trend goes - i see no reason to disbelieve it also we don't name viruses after places anymore, as i'm sure you've been told numerous times

there are still a lot of foreigners and people with VPNs who get info out. they're closing down the temporary hospitals and are having a harder time finding newly sick people to use in drug trials. i was also very skeptical but over time it's clear that they have succeeded in reducing the rate of new infections. whether this can be sustained is a different question i mean - given the measures they're taking, how could the spread of the virus not be reduced? the only way to think it's still spreading strongly is to believe they're lying about quarantine everybody Mnoba posted:they are lying about it just like they have been lying about since the start in Jan, I've seen nothing from their countries leadership showing remorse or apologizing for exacerbating this virus. totally irrelevant! the fact is that new infections have reduced greatly. whether they apologize or not is a different matter you've all decided which reality you're living in and are refusing to accept anything that doesn't comport with that. so congratulations, you'd fit right in in the CCP

i have a masters degree studying modern china, dumbfuck again - you're saying they locked down the country, shut down the economy, tested and quarantined everybody, and this all had zero effect on how the virus physically transmits from one person to another you don't have to believe any propaganda to accept that actions have consequences do you also think cases are still growing in SK? and taiwan? when you take measures to limit the spread, the spread is limited Mozi fucked around with this message at 15:08 on Mar 19, 2020 |

China was able to concentrate vast amounts of resources into affected areas while Italy's system is completely overwhelmed. The deathrate will be a lot higher without access to proper medical care.

this virus is a communism ending event if the population gets agitated enough about it, there must be IMMENSE pressure on ccp right now to get a lid on this so there is plenty of motive to continue lying. Hell, it might be enough to take down Trump who was going to cruise to re-election.

China is, what, two months into their lockdown now? Has it eased up at all? Thought I read that factories were starting up again but if the rest of the world isn't buying anything then I suppose that's moot. Anyway, we probably won't really know if this has been truly contained there until they open their doors again, literally and figuratively.
