Mozi posted:realtalk, aside from the awkward fact of the initial coverup, judging by how the rest of the world is responding so far, in a couple of weeks the CCP will legitimately be able to say to their people that they handled the outbreak better than anywhere else. don't know how the economy will work out but i can see this ending up enhancing their legitimacy just because of how badly everyone else is screwing up now pretty sure even fumbling and doing gently caress all is miles better than covering up the epidemic for two months, putting a bunch of random people in a hospital made of load-bearing drywall, and wondering why they all gave each other the coronavirus the unnamed country can only vaccinate Fur20 fucked around with this message at 13:57 on Feb 29, 2020 |

Mozi posted:it was a purposeful understatement for the purposes of humor but yes, it will be propagandized out of existence when the CCP can just point to every other country loving up sorry man you know how it is in this thread, you can't tell when someone is being sarcastic or straight with you when it comes to something that sounds like cheerleading the ccp trump is a loud idiot, but whatever ororrhea he decides to feed into the jaws of the media machine is hardly law--which is really just a nice perk of our style of bureacracy. local officials from the top of the state to the bottom of the county will probably end up doing the best they can with what resources they have because american style corruption benefits from incumbency. responding well to a public health crisis specifically is great for your numbers. responding poorly is just about the best way to lose your voter base overnight. and so close to elections no less.

BrigadierSensible posted:And whilst I am talking about unrelated stuff. I have decided that I am not renewing my contract here. (Nothing to do with the place, just don't like job hours and the owner/boss) My contract runs out in May so I know that I have come to this decision a bit late, but does anyone higher up the food chain than me know if people will be hiring in ESL jobs due to Corona? I mean will employers be willing to take on foreigners due to fear? Or will I be more attractive to them as I am willing to move to Asia/Europe, when possibly they will be experiencing a lack of applicants? i wouldn't recommend this line of work at the moment. various governments are either currently enacting or preparing to enact a state of emergency, and depending on the country, their emergency policies can also include reduction or up to total suspension of wages for ESL assistant-type teachers (and even normal teachers). being unable to rely on even receiving a paycheck at all because of factors outside of your control isn't fun in your home country, but now imagine that except you're living abroad, you still have to pay bills and rent, and you'll have to pay your company if you say gently caress this and break contract after the third consecutive month of not receiving a wage whatsoever Raged posted:Well......

tractor fanatic posted:It seems very likely that no one alive knew this disease existed until mid-December, which points to about 3 weeks of coverup. japanese doctors were already suggesting to sick patients who didn't have influenza that they had the New Unknown Virus From China in early december so no, unless japanese doctors are counted as undeads, living people knew this disease existed prior to mid-december just because it wasn't called Coronavirus or Wuhan Flu doesn't mean it wasn't circulating and that people didn't know about it
