China

[sparkie]

Weird that there are hardly any cases in Russia, given their size.

Weird indeed.

It's low in a number of former USSR states.

Very weird.

Maybe it was engineered in such a way originally ? And not created in China, but merely stored in the Chinese bio-weapons facility ?

This is one of the worst threads in NSC history.

The worst.

I do love a chuckle at the tin foil hatters and their f*kwitted theories though. After all, what country doesn't want the ability to infect it's enemy's armies with A SNIFFLE.

Indeed. Some infectious disease expert on the Joe Rogan podcast the other day was saying that humans are absolutely nowhere near being able to create something like this anyway.

China lost an estimated 15 million people to famine between 1959-1961. Do you think that maybe has an impact? They need to regulate the **** out of their wet markets. It is one thing to eat exotic meat, another to slaughter it all in one place.

Very much this. I watched a video of a wet market the other day, different animals stacked on top of one another in cages just shitting on each another. They need to knock wet markets on the head immediately.

It is an escaped bio-weapon from the facility in Wuhan. The doctor who knew who patient zero was has been permanently silenced.

Engineered to be infectious with no symptoms.

The saving grace is that it isn't one of the nastier weapons.

Of course all the authorities will deny this, and put out media stories quashing any talk of this.

It'll be hushed up forever, and no sanctions will be part of the cover up package.

Have a word with yourself will you.

You mean a totalitarian state where the government controls the media narrative not reporting on COVID-19. Yes, very strange isn’t it.

How many states are not totalitarian right now?

For better or worse.

Weren't they directly responsible for swine and bird flu as well ?
What is it with them and weird eating customs, nothing alive is safe there.

we are now paying the price for their penchant for eating anything that moves

Totalitarian - ‘no’. Short term sanctions for the good of the mass population - ‘yes’.

The other poster was asking a question about why no news of COVID-19 was coming out of Russia. It wasn’t a question about how various world governments are perceived to be handling a global pandemic by putting their country on lockdown.

Bubonic plague and Spanish flu as well

The Chinese nation needs to have a long look in the mirror re their abuse of animals, and humans. They got the hump Trump called it a " chinese virus ". He was right

 

[Whoislloydy]

Here we go, another xenophobic thread...

For probably the only time in history I agree with Trump. The Chinese with their disgusting treatment of animals for “traditional medicine” and strange food habits have to own this. They created it. The world should shun them until they stop it, permanently.

 

[Bakero]

Trump now refers to COVID-19 as the "Chinese virus" - because he's a ****, obviously.

Excuse the typeface - I installed a plug-in which does this automatically. https://boingboing.net/2017/11/13/subtle-typographic-hint.html

The Spanish media have consistently called it the Chinese or Wuhan virus. Pisses me right off.

Here we go, another xenophobic thread...

People blaming it on the Chinese habit of eating anything that doesn't scurry past the abattoir fast enough. So, they are xenophobes? Or vegetarians? Or vegetarian xenophobes?

 

[Boys 9d]

Do people object to other place named illnesses such as German measles, Marburg Virus and Lassa Fever ?

[MENTION=3887]Uncle Spielberg[/MENTION] Who made you authoratitive on the subject? Try starting the sentence I think, it gives the reader a hint that occasionally you do.

How did you feel about British Mad Cow disease? Were we sufficiently chastised by world leaders for our disgusting treatment of animals?

Did any human die from mad cow disease ? I must have missed this
