That Works posted: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. Um, which video? Can you link it here because I have no idea what you're talking about. The only video I posted is the Japanese guy documenting how Nanjing has been handling the lockdown - QR codes to track people, Contactless Payments, signing in and out of buildings etc. It's clear that it is being taken very seriously in China. So do you not believe the numbers coming out of other APAC countries? Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, etc?

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. Those masks are meant to be taken apart and reassembled on the daily. Also, pipe cleaner sounds good, the fluff will help it stay in position.

Foam Monkey posted:My tiny rear end county in Iowa finally got a positive test. Of course they won’t tell us where they’re at considering how the county is split, but since my job preemptively declared me essential, I guess I just have to hope it wasn’t a coworker. If that tiny rear end county is Hardin then the guy is in Eldora. Source: The paper I printed last night that the olds still need so I get to be essential.

Ugh, I started having flu-like symptoms last night, and no urgent care will see me so I can get a flu swab and Tamiflu if that comes back positive because they’re turning away anything that might be coronavirus. The thing is, I know this isn’t coronavirus because I had coronavirus two weeks ago.

Yes, that video. Does Taiwan, Singapore, SK have a record of people who spoke out against covid response disappearing / dying? Do the other APAC countries deport reporters critical of that countries covid response? Suddenly this one youtube video proves that China has done everything right and there's no malfeasance on their part at all? Again, exceptional claims require exceptional evidence. Maybe it exists, but you're not bringing it.

I do get exposed to every single person on the job site who feels sick at all, one of whom tested positive for the flu after we sent him off site, so I’m pretty certain I know what this is.

You can test positive for the virus for some time after you recover, but that’s just from residual viruses hanging around, not a sign you lost your immunity or anything. There’s nothing to suggest your immune response would be any different than any other virus that’s ever infected humanity.

So this airport seating area is loving empty, there is nobody here. Hundreds of seats to choose from. This boomer couple comes and sits RIGHT ACROSS FROM ME and hacks up a lung. Then, a few minutes later, ANOTHER ANCIENT RELIC COMES AND SITS RIGHT BEHIND ME. The gently caress is wrong with this generation? How did they get so completely hosed in the head?

There are many reports of people who get it, recover, show negative tests multiple times and then show weaker symptoms and show positive tests again and recover again. Theory was it was like a standard cold, where sometimes the initial infection response wasn't great enough to make enough antibodies to completely fight it off.

That Works posted:Yes, that video. We're talking about the accuracy of the numbers so I don't see why bringing up the record of people who spoke out against the response has anything to do with this. And I'm not aware of China deporting reporters who were critical of the COVID response, perhaps you can share this with me. No, not this one YouTube video but the extreme measures that China took shows that the numbers can be realistic, especially considering the neighboring countries numbers. In addition, the fact that the daily cases in China increased by 14k in the middle of February shows that if the CCP were really trying to downplay the severity of the issues to make themselves look better, then they would have controlled that as well. My claim is not exceptional, it is more level headed than your claim that because CHINA BAD, then the numbers are incorrect. I have yet to find a country that has taken as extreme measures as China that has not been able to contain it. Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea etc. performed a very calculated lockdown as well and their numbers are significantly more positive than China's - I mean Taiwan, a country with 24 million people has 5 deaths - does that sound believable to you? You can keep telling me to show you exceptional evidence but we both know that that's not possible. What do you want to see - "Unnamed CIA Officials release statement that the numbers from China are accurate"?

Some flu or the Roni just outright raped me yesterday afternoon. Joint pains, fever, nausea, migraine-like headache all night. I only seem to have an elevated temperature today and sweating this poo poo out. Feel kinda weak to get out of bed but not terrible. I don’t think the Roni would have such a quick turnaround.

If it's a buff you have to pull over your head to get off maybe it would be better to just tie a thirt or something? Anything you can take off without having to pull it over your head/eyes.

A 20 year old died in our province, but they don't know what her health situation was like beforehand yet. A bunch of people are dying in an elderly care facility in my city too. Two teens were charged $1200 for sitting in a car together, which was later dropped, but maybe it will scare some people into not defying public health orders because they're bored or don't care about others?

Of course you didn't seeing as how you posted just a few minutes after my post and considering The Economist is behind a paywall. The expelling of journalists from New York Times, Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal was in response to this - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/feb/18/us-chinese-media-propaganda-state-department - where do you see that it was in response to reporters being critical of the COVID response?
