    Sure, all those things are terrible, but they are not likely the reason that the virus is spreading like wildfire in your particular country.

    And, what country would that be?

    And yet, you clearly do have an agenda, which is why you insisted on harping on a single data point, and chose to ignore all the other data points that didn't fit your narrative. I simply called for evidence, and advised that we should await more data before making such claims. You chose to get pissed off, and declare me a doomsday preacher as a result.

    I prefer to look at the overall data, and not a single data point. That clearly makes you angry.

    You just made another claim about slander, where's your evidence?

    What do you mean by " we all know what you're here for"? You're obviously suggesting I have an ulterior motive for simply using figures to justify my optimism? What BS is that? And I was basing my figures on recent evident decline in the increase of daily new cases. Why can't I base my outlook on recent numbers while you are allowed to harp on the past?

    Why not you go accuse them of shitposting and having an agenda then? You can find analysis showing that the rates are declining in recent days all over the web. Go on, go accuse them all of being biased and having an ulterior motive.

    That was already explained... twice.

    So, I await your evidence to back up your accusations against me. I think we can both agree you are never going to provide it.

    Interesting article of China's crass manipulations and attempt to spin Xi into the world's great savior.

    They're have now been conspiracy theories blaming the US army for purposely infecting China, a US cyclist being patient 0 back during the Military Games last year, and even having the gall to say the virus originated in Italy.

    Must i repeat myself ffs? I'd explained to you my reasons for being more optimistic but you continually harp on that particular example and refuse to acknowledge my point and mocked me on my outlook. So I said you are a doompreacher who dislikes optimism. Clear enough already at this point? Nothing much i can do if you keep dodging and wanting me to explain myself over and over. I have to sleep have to work no time for merry go round poor me

    Now still waiting on your apology for that agenda BS mate

    Evidence, please.

    You made two very specific claims against me, yet provided no evidence. At no point was I doomsday preaching, nor was I slandering.

    What a shame.

    But I want my $600 IPhone.
    If it is made in US, it would be $2000.

    $600 IPhone is a steal !

    I'm waiting to hear from genuine and honest countries on how their death toll is decreasing.

    seriously the world needs to come down on that f**king country, but I know it won't, because big business loves it so much.

    My area is still having shortages of paper products sporadically, but what I can't find for the life of me is a goddamn bag of flour. Just no flour anywhere, even looking at online vendors with delivery/pickup in my area, and nope. Also, I can't find any hot n' spicy cheezits, and that shit's got me mad.

    *laughs in Capitalism* I give you credit, "All" could mean 1 small one or more. But most aren't union, and risk losing their "At will" jobs for "reasons" if they agitate for unionizing.

    There is a shortage because bread is being brought up, and everyones making their own, so flours being brought up. You might have to buy it on amazon or ebay at gouged prices, like everyone else is having to do now. Its become a luxury items.

    The supermarket near me has restocked on bread, but not on flour. I did have flour from earlier, so I made my own bread, and I am thinking of making more tomorrow night because the bread I made was delicious.

    I bought a bread-maker back around new years, so I've been making bread. But yeast is just as hard to find as flour is.
