Quote from BBC

China's top leaders have warned lower-level officials not to cover up the spread of a new coronavirus that has now infected nearly 300 people.

And, it's already spread to the West: http://archive.ph/9WT3V

Quote from The Independent

Fourteen people have been tested in the UK for suspected coronavirus which has infected hundreds of people in Wuhan, China, and spread to other countries including the US.

Quote from ScienceAlert

Authorities in Texas are investigating a second suspected case on US soil of a deadly Chinese virus, namely a college student who had recently returned from the city at the heart of the outbreak, officials said Thursday.

Also, to have even more fun with this, the virus was engineered by a British institution (As a vaccine), that receives funding from the Gates Foundation, and actually ran an exercise back in October about this exact scenario taking place.

EDIT: Confirmed to be in Chicago: https://archive.is/r9R99

I've not thought they did, that thing made me suspect them, while every country having an ultra crisis, China and Russia don't take effect. I don't think China made it alone, they made it with Russia.

At least 157,404 people died as of today yet a known racist and conspiracy theorist still gets a megaphone so spew some of the worst shit you can find on the web here. I can not stress how bad this makes this site look. The numbers: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

And then there is the fact that what has been going on since last December isn´t new to anyone who has been living for the last 2 decades. SARS is a type of coronavirus for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acute_respiratory_syndrome

Contagion is further only above average as a film but it´s quite informative for a Hollywood film and it being 9 years old only shows how things like Covid-19 are nothing new: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1598778/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

Mistakes were made all around on an international level but nobody "made" any of these. Unless you want to blame nature itself. What we have in 2019/20 isn´t some form of biological weapon. Humans and all sorts of other mammals (even tigers can get it) managed to catch a disease that likely originated from bats. Expect similar events to this in your lifetime. And don't expect the escalating effects of global warming to be kinder on us.

Don´t succumb to racism and other nonsense. If evens like this can´t bring us together as a species than NOTHING can and about 1000 people (!!!) were added to the toll during the 10 min it took to write this.

It’s not worth your time... unfortunately conspiracy theorists are everywhere online and can not be countered with logic. I saw a guy arguing yesterday that the government was using the threat of the virus and tanking the economy simply to remove his right to go snowmobiling. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

You're responding to a post that came out back in January, back when things were still being thrown around without complete confirmation to anything. With even China blaming anything and everything from bats, to snake, to cats, to dogs, to the U.S. releasing it, then Italy, then South Korea, and I think Span was blamed as well. Yeah, I was wrong about it being Gates being the one who engineered the virus, with information over the past two weeks coming out that it was actually a natural virus that escaped thanks to incompetence of the CCP.

The only mistake that people have universally agreed upon was giving the benefit of the doubt that China was going to be truthful about any of this. Hell, people are still dying and they're declaring the thing as if it's some huge victory when THEY'RE THE ONES WHO RELEASED THE FUCKING THING IN THE FIRST PLACE AND TRIED TO COVER IT UP! This isn't even racism as I have absolutely NOTHING against the Chinese people in Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Just China.

There you go folks. Despising 1.3+ billion people on the base of their race and nationality ain´t a big deal. It´s not even racist. It´s us who are the true racists! Who knew that Silent Hill 2 was a documentary...

Also WAHMEN bad, Nazis good, rape shouldn´t be a crime, child pornography a-ok, etc. But I think this one wins. Shit like this is what happens if you give up on moderating your site outside of automated double posting stuff, spam and links to pirated content.

Look up the Spanish flu if you want to learn from semi-modern history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu
We won´t have it this bad... well I hope but the world population exploded since then so who knows. Footage of Chinese cities in lockdown is also of note. Their government really went all out to combat COVID-19 like no other. This Japanese travel log from 5 weeks ago stuck out to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfsdJGj3-jM&list=LLcMjMEYzJUHveLUKw6UkYcg&index=653&t=125s
What is being done here can´t be replicated in most nations and probably shouldn´t as we would need to kiss our privacy goodbye and welcome Big Brother to run our lives but hats off. Meanwhile in America... 😕. Trump is officially the worst leader you ever had due to the events of the last month and change. James Buchanan (the civil war happened under him) can breathe easy now.

I think you mean the 1918 influenza pandemic if you're going to be the one who wants to talk about being so "un-offensive".

Quote from residentgrigo

PLEASE tell me you're joking? The ONLY thing that the CCP has done like no other is made sure that they destroyed evidence, censored and silenced anyone and everyone who tries to talk about China's involvement with the virus, raided stockpiles of medical supplies meanwhile telling everyone that there was "nothing to fear and it's under control", literally condemned Taiwan, and are STILL refusing to acknowledge any involvement with it to the point that the W.H.O. is going to have their funding pulled because of China's influence on the organization. Meanwhile, Winnie the Pooh is now blaming Africans as the source of the virus.

And the ONE THING, the one FUCKING thing you take away from ALL of this is, "Stop being racist"?

Quick question: what could Trump have done differently, short of closing the border the moment someone in China started coughing (Which wouldn't have happened anyway because "It's racist" ) or already anticipating that China was going to be lying through their teeth about the entire thing?
