SARS Pt. 2 - Wuhan Boogaloo

[Montegriffo]

Fair enough, but as Smitty pointed out, why is the UK not shutting down the way America is? Its not like the UK is some Isolationist Hermit Kingdom. They are just as exposed as America is to COVD. Clearly, their experts don't agree with America's. The media here is adding fuel to this fire so it burns like a Kuwaiti oil well. They are stirring up some shit. Ironically, this may just be the push that is needed for our wall to be built.

A wall would do wonders to stop Coronavirus. Especially if it was made very tall and thick, with a minefield on either side. A moat+a fleet of drones which pick up heat signatures and Ultraviolet light could identify Corona well, as the Rio Grande creates tropical conditions ideal for its incubation.

As Smitty pointed out, the UK is trying to avoid jumping the shark too early. We are up to 4 weeks behind some parts of Europe in terms of the spread of the virus. We also have a different demographic to Italy in terms of the average age of the population. We also have far fewer old people living with their extended families like they do in other countries and we don't do all that kissing each other on the cheek that the Latin nations do.
I've been in small bars in France where every new person who walks through the door will go around every table kissing everyone, whether they know them or not. I found it rather intrusive as it kept breaking up any conversations you were having and eventually got quite irritated by it. It is, however, a cultural difference that may have the effect of putting the UK a few weeks behind the curve in this virus.
It's not that the UK isn't going to impose the same restrictions as the rest of Europe, we are just going to do it later.

Monty, I'm disappointed in you. Initially, you shared in my mockery of Corona fears. Now you are towing the party line with this scare tactic propaganda.

It is sad to see.

You are at least 30 years to young to worry about COVD. So don't. I probably have worse health than you, and I'm not worried. You should see people here. They are panicking at the stores as if toilet paper industry is going out of business. Its not like their power will go out, yet they buy water, because that is how they panicked during the hurricanes. They buy stupid bullshit. They have closed down campuses. It is absolutely pathetic. America put a man on the moon and stormed Sicily, Normandy, and Okinawa. And these losers are their descendents. Un-fucking-believable.



Every year there is at least one or two societal panics, and every year they amount to a hill of beans. You should know better because you have been around a bit longer. Its just silliness man, and there is a time for it, but the time is not now. Now is the time for serious mockery of those folks. Don't drink the Koolaid Mate. We need you here and now on the MHF.

Oh I'm still prepared to mock anyone suggesting that this is going to kill in numbers like the Spanish flu or preppers who think society is going to collapse and that toilet paper is vital for survival.
I'm a moderate though, I believe the truth lies somewhere between apocalypse and nothing burger. In terms of body count the final figure may be in the tens of thousands or possibly hundreds of thousands but nowhere near the nonsensical figures of hundreds of millions like StA was trying to suggest.
I've said all along that the economy is going to be the biggest victim but I'm OK with that. Gaia requires a cut in frivolous travel and unnecessary consumerism so I can find a silver lining in that.
Serious pandemics in the past such as the Black Death or Spanish flu have had major influences on society, some good many bad. If the worst thing to happen here is an overdue adjustment of the stock market, some airlines collapsing and Capps being pissed off about missing some homoerotic grappling I think we will regard it as getting off lightly.

We can always tax the rich to pay for government compensation packages or go back to austerity for another decade.

Oh and its Monte not Monty you retard.

Tim Pool is a fucking retard. I want to wipe my ass with his stupid beanie.

You might have to if morons continue to think that buying bog roll is a cure for coronavirus.

I ambien posting dude you need to chill with the harshness. I made that post in earnest and for you to stomp on it like it was nothing is just not cool.

The stock market needs to be readjusted back to its awesome old self, coronavirus or not. Sick people need to travel. They need to travel to Iran, China, and Britain and god knows were else. who are we to stop tehm.

[heydaralon]

Seems we got it all backwards, if you rae sick than a cruise would be the best place to relax and gert better. Mingle, make friends, and just rest. We could have a record DOW Jones Travel index if we marketed cruise shits that way. Like a spa.

Give them a one way ticket to the bottom of the ocean. Brilliant.

People only need to travel so that they can post pics of exotic food on Facebook to make their ex-partners feel jealous about how well they are doing since the split.
Fuck them, they can get on a train and go to their nearest big city for a plate of falafels if that's all they need.
Everyone can see the world on the National Geographic channel nowadays. It's only medieval castles that need to be experienced in the flesh and if you have to get on a plane to do that because you live in some backwaters shithole that wasn't even discovered until the 15th century by a Genoan who got lost trying to find India then tough shit. You should have advanced out of the stone age earlier and built your own castles.

No offense intended.

That is gold!

[Ph64]

That is gold!

And they've had ZERO deaths from the coronavirus.

If you wonder what M4A/single payer/NHC would mean for the US, you need not speculate. Just read the news.

For Italy, multilateral globalism, plus socialism, equals death

Globalism of this EU sort, as it turns out, is absolutely lethal when combined with local socialism.

Italy has socialized medicine, the kind Bernie Sanders seeks to push on America, leaving the country way less prepared to handle the pandemic than countries with free market health care systems.

Italy's central planners didn't plan for enough beds. There's not enough staff. There's no free market to step in and pick up the slack, because it's not allowed. According to this disturbing piece in the Wall Street Journal, there are signs of a medical system failure, the same kind of thing that in previous socialist hellholes, has triggered man-caused famines: the crops were there, the delivery system was disrupted. Now it's a health-care famine for Italy, because, same as Venezuela's oilfields, the cash was spent on today-needs and political crowd pleasers such as "free" stuff, instead of investment in to increase "production" (read: profitability) in the operation itself, the way the private sector does. The net result in Italy is the same result seen in Venezuela and all socialist hellholes: underinvestment, leading to shambling, subpar, shortage-brimming results. Ain't party-elites making all the decisions grand? According to the Journal:

Italy lags other large European countries in provision of acute-care hospital beds, furnishing 2.62 of them per 1,000 residents as of 2016, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. In Germany it’s 6.06 and in France and the Netherlands it’s 3.15 and 3 respectively. That year, Italy devoted around $913 per capita to inpatient acute and rehabilitative care, compared with $1,338 in France, $1,506 in Germany, and $1,732 in the U.S.

Gavin Newsom To “Commandeer Property” cuz Wuhan

I don’t know about you, but I don’t believe that the state of California would run, say, the UCLA Medical Center better than UCLA. In fact, there is no reason to believe even smaller, private medical facilities are incapable running their businesses rather than some Sacramento bureaucrat.
