Tons of her church group complaining about services canceled and how they wanted to meet up in public areas to have their knitting circles and bible groups. How do these democrat hoax people explain the entire world shutting down as well?

It's the basic foundation of all conspiracy theories, feeding into the human desire to be in the know, to be special because of secret knowledge the rest of the world is too dumb to understand.

Facebook Aunt posted:Twist ties would probably work, if you have them. I've seen other sources recommending pipe cleaners if you can get them, because they have a bit of padding compared to bare wire. Thank you, and thanks Mithaldu! I’m gonna make some of these for my family and loved ones, but I’m also gonna try out a sewn version to give to the various cashiers in my neighborhood. I don’t wanna give them something that needs a YouTube link to clean. I have a pattern in mind to try sewing, I’ll post it here if it works out.

it feels weird when everyone is panicking when they have like one or two cases of covid in their county but meanwhile there are almost 1k cases in pinellas & hillsborough counties over here and I haven't seen anyone else using a face mask yet (my parents do for shopping but then keep on going out to meet friends) . I keep getting take-out because I'm too much of a coward to go to Publix to get food lol (we had two employees test positive in Clearwater a few days ago and we only found out when the e-mails were leaked). I gotta shave this depression beard of mine and get some supplies soon but I'm still dreading it. At least I'm full-time and can FINALLY work at home now.

I've seen a total of 3 masks out here in the Netherlands and there's definitely thousands of infections in this area. I feel masks are still not socially acceptable here and the government is still recommending against wearing them.

Spreading the cases out helps manage hospital capacity and saves lives in the long run. People have been saying things like “it’s like we don’t have a healthcare system anymore”. Really, it’s the opposite of that. Medicine and those who practice it will save more humans lives this year than have been saved in any year before. They can’t save everyone, but every hour they have to work with is thousands more pulled from the jaws of death.

I've already seen posts about it on social media, calling for manufacturing to return to our countries because China Bad. Which is the followed up with "with what factories, do we get the government to build them, sounds like socialism" and it starts a huge fight with lots of name calling and such. I've also seen people express shock that we're ordering medical supplies from China of all places now. Bitch where do you think they came from before.

clearly they haven't been to a wet market or a more polite term traditional market all the live animals in cages with grime caked onto them, including feces, blood, hair, feathers and whatever else, covering the silver metal wires containing the animal and turned those cages black no need to wash any of this because you are just going to put the next animal inside and things will get dirty again quickly wooden chopping board probably have seen hundreds of animal parts on it everyday and the usual brown color of wood grains being replaced with an almost dull pitch black color with a worn deep groove in the center showing where most of the cutting was done, why washing any of this between cutting different animals because you can save time and serve a lot more customers instead the market used to be dark because you only need just enough light for others to see what you are selling, nowadays it's replaced by a blinding cool white led light that feels sterile but at least shows every nooks and crannies the floor filled with blood and whatever else being drained into an open pipe and all the food are out in the open for the flies to land on, the bloody bits get soaked into the concrete or asphalt so the whole place has a certain smell, especially when they try to hose it down with water by squeezing the rubber hose to create a stronger stream while splashes and aerosolizes everything on the floor for everyone else to inhale all these grime or 'organic materials' are most likely full of nutrients to incubate stuff on, and you probably cant create a more perfect environment to grow bacteria or virus that's targeting the mixtures of all those species you can get stuff fairly cheap from those markets though especially if you are good at haggling nong fucked around with this message at 13:19 on Apr 4, 2020 |

You have no evidence to support it and ignore the deaths / detainment of people who leaked information about it earlier in the outbreak, more consistent with suppression of data, by a regime well known to suppress data. Good feelings don't make for good facts.

CDC said on the 26th in a report on 2/12 to 3/16 that 2.8% of reported cases were from the ICU and 20% of those were from people 20-45 years old. So 0.5ish? Of course this is from before the plague explosion of all the tests coming back so the numbers have probably changed. edit: I cant figure out how to properly word the last sentence I wrote so I edited it out.

My evidence to support it is that Hubei province went into full lockdown when there were 571 cases and 17 deaths. Regardless of what you may think of those initial numbers - the two month restrictive lockdown that followed cannot be disputed. The lockdown imposed after Hubei and the whole country shutting down cannot be disputed. The fact that Taiwan and Singapore, both countries that are in close proximity to China who took less restrictive measures has the death count it does is something I also consider.

This link really bothers me. https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/dam/sdc/hhsa/programs/phs/Epidemiology/COVID-19%20Summary%20of%20Cases%20by%20Zip%20Code.pdf Are there others like it people have seen? The constant updates are what gets me, I can see the cases pile up across neighborhoods I know of. Today, the last time I’m going anywhere for a month at least, I saw a teenage girl riding one of those scooters provided by the store she is in, licking her finger and touching things at a Vons in 92120, right next door to a giant kaiser hospital. It was too much. I put down my groceries and just left. I’m loving done. Solvent fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Apr 4, 2020 |

So one nice little change I'm seeing on social media is an appreciation for more occupations. People thanking bus drivers, truckers, grocery store employees. Seems way more sincere than the blind "Military r heroes!" buttfuckery. Maybe that will stick in the collective conscience for a while.

Before NY started the shutdown orders, the theatre near me stopped showing movies and was only doing takeout popcorn/nachos and apparently they made bank doing that. Though sadly post-shutdown order they had to close entirely. I would totally drop 10 bucks on a bag of popcorn on my way home today. Tastes like normalcy!

No your evidence is a loving youtube video you brought out trying to trumpet that China's numbers are actually OK and they are doing great while ignoring previous criticisms, data and past behavior of China. Your followup that the great firewall is not a big deal doesn't change the fact you're trying to argue correctness of the entire dataset based on one loving youtube link.
