You quoted my post then made up a bunch of assumptions.
I didnt say we didnt have problems. The issue is the social acceptance and pervasiveness in china.

Then what was the point of pointing out China's societal flaws if we have them as well?  Just like I told InfiniteDreams, you can't point at a group of people and say they're savages for doing something if you're doing it too.

I've observed a correlation when it comes to truly stupid people and they way they relate issues on a global scale; they seem to have this really odd habit of referring to entire nations as though they were an individual person, with the characteristics of an individual person.

At the same time, people with this level of stupidity will refer to a person not of their country as though they are a complete representative of the country they are 'from'. I.e; as a person of English birth - even though I do not identify as British - morons will often refer to the entire country of England as 'you' (me). I.e 'we beat you in 1776'.

It is truly the mark of the most base kind of thinking to do this, and as I say, it very much correlates with people who have VERY little first hand experience of the world at large.

I have never met a well traveled or wise human guilty of this behavior.



lol thanks for sharing. they is a plural word so I don't see whats wrong with referring to the Chinese communist party as they. you dont seem to understand plural and singular words. they is not used to refer to an individual. at least not correctly.

but regardless, does it really matter if someone says "the Americans beat the English in 1776" or "we beat you in 1776" it literally makes no difference and you are nitpicking for no reason. it does not imply that the "you" is a representative of their entire country at all. its just an easier way of saying the exact same thing.

there is no difference between saying "the ccp is the soviet union playing the long game" and "they are the soviet union playing the long game" I have no idea how one is more stupid than the other.

thats a really lame excuse to call me stupid. I'm sure you could have found a better one. and if you mean comparing a regime's strategical patience to one person's (julius caesar's) thats equally lame and nitpicky

And the average Chinese person is no better or worse culturally than the average American - who sticks their head in the sand about plenty of our own ugly issues, is the point Shroomer is making, I think.


Their government sucks, and should face repercussions - but not fucking war, a war between the US and China would turn into world war 3 and it'd be super ugly for everyone involved. And the Chinese failure to notify the world about this still does not negate our own failure to respond adequately.

We have this massive unsolved problem with manufacturing and it's disingenous and simple minded to say 'just pull everything out of China, it'll be no probem!'. Nah. If it was no problem, it would've happened already.


If countries like India had more wide spread infrastructure, if Bangladesh had better metallic natural resources(for mining and making computer chips and all that good stuff), then we might be talking here, but not just anyone has the same production capabilities as China. Like I said, until Americans stop liking cheap mass produced goods on this scale, then I just don't forsee this mass pull out of manufacturing in China any time soon.

This is how it goes for China, for the US and all nations.

Most people are allright. I don't know a single government, prominently my own government included in that, which doesnt suck.

That's such a refreshing POV Asante. Thank you for sharing a little real talk here.

I heard some people with corona fluctuate between a high temperature and normal, so its probably a good idea to get tested, even if you are back to normal next time you check

I’m gonna get one of those things. Sometimes the only symptom of covid is bad oxygen levels.

In other news, Florida is engaging in a china style coverup of their covid situation. They are simply lying about covid deaths in the state. Thousands of people have died of pneumonia, far above normal levels. It’s just amazing what these assholes try to get away with:

Yeah my temp and everything is fine. No muscle aches, no gi symptoms. Sense of taste and smell are totally fine. But that sat is really unusual and it is holding steady at that number since 7am. Was 100 just 2 days ago. Wish i had an o2 tank at home. Albuterol did nothing to change it which is unusual if asthma related

I’ve been floored the past 3 days.  Body is Sore, strange headspace like when I’ve got a cold, no desire to get out of bed whatsoever.  Gravity feels like it got magnified & everything is stuffy.  Temp has only risen by 1 degree tho.  All I’ve done is laid in bed & half heartedly used my iPad & made dinner.  Loratidine hasn’t helped & a Benzedrex inhaler kind of works a bit for a short while but it makes me feel run down more so after.

So now I’m using Electrolytes Vits & NSAIDs  :shrug:  Hopefully it passes soon.  It would suck if it was Rona & I got my family sick.  Isolation time for me, just in case - hope I’m not too late.  Only About  1 month before work starts up & 2 months before uni starts again.

Try not to take any fever reducers unless you get a fever 103 or greater.

Sorry to hear that Blind Ass. You really should see if you can take your vitals if you haven't, check on that O2. It sounds similar to what I'm coming out of, though it was only bad for me for aT night. Low grade fever and 93 O2(edit: whoops it was actually 94, it dipped to 93, but went back up shortly after). It felt almost like a sinus infection for a hot second, but things rapidly got better so I'm kind of just like...:shrug:. Just gonna try and be careful to avoid people for another week.

I really do want to get a curbside daiquiri this evening, but I'm starting to feel like it's irresponsible even with a mask :aweman:



Oh in other news some asshole congressman in my state house exposed the entire state house to Coronavirus because he continued to come into work without a mask despite knowing about his status. He disclosed it to his party, but not to the opposition. Which has an at risk person who literally just donated his kidney before all this. Way to go guys.

Surrounded by docs so I’m not too worried right now, just don’t wanna get them sick- one works in geriatrics, but he’s been fine.  Hope I just coast through more or less.  I’ll ask about testing.
