I think this is going to be something to keep an eye on. I don’t know what to add other than that this isn’t the regular flu.
No it’s not. But it’s deadly to a small percentage it seems.

The lockdown is because it’s just really contagious and the fact is a lot of us are asymptomatic. A lot of us have it and don’t know it and that’s how it’s spreading.

Is it worth shutting down life? Personally I don’t think so. Humanly I get it, I don’t want to spread something that can wreak havoc on immune disordered populations.


But I’d let the community decide what’s best for their approach.

Does that matter?
I grew up getting searched every time I went into a public building.

Are my experiences unimportant and irrelevant because they are not in the narrow range of your vision?
I might have problems with muslims in the US but I doubt I will have problems with the IRA...doubt the whole world will have the problems with them that you have had...which is kind of the point.

They aren’t unimportant but they are past experiences.

This almost reminds me of the yearly debate on if people should be able to light off fireworks...especially any day that someone would like to. The debate is its America...we do what we want..against..the people that are worried about ptsd patients and dogs that get upset hearing the loud noises.

I think it’s easy to say that.. when you aren’t someone with a preexisting condition. To someone who has one that sounds incredibly selfish, no offense.

My mother in law works as a home health aide for one of her oldest friends. The friend is home bound as is her boyfriend who lives with her. Mother in law goes there everyday. She’s the only person that does. Mother in law caught corona and stopped going to her friends house/job. A couple days later friend and boyfriend started having symptoms.. a week (it might not have even been that long tbh time is all screwed up right now) later boyfriend died from corona (last night). I highly doubt anyone wants to carry the guilt and weight of what my mother in law is now carrying.

I think if muslims want to stop being seen for who they really are..they should stop terrorizing people
See, it’s impossible to discuss with you. That’s your problem. And that’s why so many people here don’t get along with you.

Fight your demons, Lisa. Good luck!

That's the point?
You're alright, so stuff everyone else?
Thanks.

Your absolute obsession regarding muslims is weird.
Why is it here?
Do you thing they are spreading corona in a bio terrorist way?

Or is irrelevant?
Like I apparently am.

You’re comparing fireworks to a plague? You’re sick Lisa.

And the 4th is a garbage holiday anyway. Nationalistic patriotic imperialistic nihilistic propaganda.

no gods, no masters, no nations, no borders
Well, there’s the ptsd sufferers and dogs against people who want to have their fun. There are people who could possible catch a virus against people who want to go back to work...seemed a good comparison.

Nations are God’s idea via the tower of babel.

Im sorry for the loss in your family Jess.

My parents are nearly 70. My best friend has high blood pressure and is recovering from cancer. My Aunt has cancer. Everyone I work with is at higher risk if this is breaking down skewed racially towards blacks. My intimate friend has a drug problem that might increase risk. Hell I’ve been smoking for 17 years who knows what that does.
Yeah i smoke too. FYI: we have been strongly encouraged to stop.

And thanks for the condolences :)

No one is really alright..everyone has problems even if it wasn’t the ira.

I’m just saying that the world’s problem are muslim terrorists. The ira aren’t world terrorists.

I don’t think they are spreading corona in a terroristic way..they are doing worse than that, like raping women and taking them as sex slaves and killing people. Muslims are in many countries in the world and now in the west...the west should be concerned.

Yeah, that’s AmeriKKKa, fireworks cause immense air pollution. But that’s AmeriKKKa :)

And how moronic to compare a virus to fireworks lol.

This is the corona thread.
Unless your particular boogyman is deliberately spreading it...
Different thread?

Also, you shouldn't make sweeping generalisations.
There is always some insignificant person that disproves your rule.

@A Freeman

you are contradicting yourself to try and make this 5G theory work

On the one hand you claim deaths in South Korea are so low because they only have 5 million subscribers, yet You dont need to subscribe to 5G to get radiation, you can be in the vicinity of towers or somebody else who has 5G

and anyways, Why aren't those 5 million subscribers dying ? So if its "only" 5 million subscribers, they are somehow protected from the deadly effects of 5G ? what you said makes no sense.
First, you created a strawman argument claiming 5G isn't the "main cause" (which was never said or implied) and now you're trying to refute a logical, plausible answer to your question without thinking it through based on another strawman argument you've made up: that S. Korea hasn't suffered a comparable number of coronavirus cases which, in your mind, means 5G can't be a contributing factor to the thousands of cases they have there, IF we are to believe their numbers (or any of these case and death toll numbers) at all.

That's simply a deduction that cannot logically be made based upon the available evidence.

So do you mind telling me how many subscribers Iran has ?

The answer I believe is ZERO.

If they have been testing 5G since September 2017, and currently have 70,000,000 broadband customers, and finished their preparations for 5G at almost the exact time they started reporting coronavirus cases (mid-February 2020), then your estimate is probably a bit low.

I agree 5G is bad, but the disinformation this crowd is pushing is that there is nothing else going on but 5G and I believe that to be disinfo. I dont believe 5G is what is causing these deaths. The evidence and facts do not support it.
Every time you make a statement that you cannot back up with any evidence YOU become the disinformation crowd. Labeling anyone who has noticed the obvious connections between 5G and the coronavirus, both in geographic locations as well as their identical symptoms, is yet another logical fallacy.

Again....that’s why I said, I’d leave it up to the general community to make that decision. I can comply. That’s not an issue to me. Nowhere in my post did I say I’d push my personal opinion forward. The reason we are shut down is because a lot of us are carriers. If I’m asymptomatic, I’m not gonna go out and mingle with everybody. I take my precautions and just do my essential task and I’m back at home quarantined.

I lost my grandma to it. So I know the personal effects.

But also at the same time, something has to give for the economy. Those rich fuckers do need to start using our tax dollars responsibly

I mean how many are you willing to sacrifice? Because that’s what the question is. Do we go back to normal at the expense of potentially hundreds of thousands in their graves? That has a ripple effect man.

We need to use this moment to realize that we don’t want to go back to the way things were. We aren’t meant to just work all our lives and what we use to define meaning in our lives is bogus.

We can chart a new path with this crisis and forge a new future or we can choose the same old same old. Or something worse.
If I was a governor I would look at the top 5 states with minimal critcal cases. Study their habits. Their procedures, I mean invest a ton of research into what the top 5 states are doing. You model after those top 5, that’s when governors should lobby for congress to brain storm an actual plan rather than 50 different entities. 5 states out of 50 is a trend that we should model after. Just my opinion.

Everyday we’re risking our life in this pandemic right now. It’s up to those who can respond in a positive impact. I don’t do social media(facebook, instagram, etc.) So there has to to be a bright young mind out there doing their research that can impact our society. This young generation has hope and promise.

Depends on how we are measuring the top 5 states though. Because if it’s by case rate.. the top 5 states just happen to be away from the coasts, have little international travel either way, and vast open spaces/little density. It’s not so much what they are doing, rather a geographical advantage.

That’s when you start implementing regional travel stuff. Especially the coast. With the international ports.

Overall I feel they are looking at trends, but still doing a free for all. The states need communication amonst. Idk if it’s just me, but I feel our country is scrambled right now.

Did you listen to the orange mans press conference today? He is literally begging/agitating for a new civil war the way he talks.
