    we know the repository damage COVID does to the people who get it, and now we're seeing the affects it has on peoples brains. so this idea that you get it, and you just "get over it" is absurd.

    Topic name should be Chinese Wuhan Virus.
    Its better to know where it came from. Will be easier to teach our kids the source.

    @Edge has the right of it.

    America is not capable of dealing with a pandemic. Not institutionally, not economically, not culturally. Decades upon decades of small government, crony capitalism, and greed-is-good individualism have crippled its ability to respond to a crisis effectively.

    I was really hesitant about the falling empire comparisons but god damn is the US making it hard.

    that's exactly what's happening. the last gasps of an empire ruled by a fool who has no idea or desire to let it fall gently.

    Uhm, ok apart from how heartless and emotionless this line of reasoning is, not even from a capitalistic standpoint does it make sense to simply kill off 8% of consumers and hope everything will be just fine.

    So what exactly are you promoting except just killing people?

    So we Should change the name of the Spanish flu to the Kansas flu?

    Trump fucked up majorly. This is independent of China. The name of the virus is coronavirus, specifically COVID-19.

    The country who lit the fire and poured gasoline on it is China. US didn't arrest the doctors who tried to warn the world.
    I know the whole story. CCP are the liars and cowards.

    China bribing WHO to change the name doesn't change what it originally is. WHO has told many lines and now noone gives a fuck about what they do or say. They are puppets

    Get mental help please.

    Not as many deaths as the Kansas flu.

    There were multiple confirmed warnings.

    Trump fucked up. Deal with it.

    The WHO has issued formal recommendations against geographical designations for infectious diseases since 2015 and it has been considered best practice since the late 1990s regardless...

    Anyway given that Wuhan is no longer the world's epicenter we should start calling this Florida Flu.

    Yes, I would say that the owner of this business having to shut down their source of income for them and possibly whatever family they had is a tragedy. I don't know how many people would have died to Covid, if any, if this business were allowed to stay open with restrictions, but we'll never know. It was just shut down by government mandate, seemingly arbitrarily and without any kind of debate or discourse. Simply government mandate. We mourn loved ones who pass away, and we mourn financial ruin. Suffering is a spectrum.

    Some people would love for 8% of a population to die off.

    For instance, 8% is enough to kill off every Asian person, Pacific Islander, and Native American with room for a couple million black and Hispanic people.

    Their 'I'm not racist but...' asses would love it.

    Pretty much any infectious disease specialist worth their salt, honestly. Geographic designations have long been opposed precisely because they confound epidemiological efforts by setting a timeline in stone regardless of evidence to the contrary - see Spanish Flu.

    But hey fuck the experts y'all know best because you read it on Facebook, right?

    Then your problem should be with Trump and the way America has mishandled the pandemic. Not China.

    Deaths in China from Covid-19 - 4,653

    Deaths in USA from Covid-19 - 149K+

    China dealt with their crisis. The United States is making it worse.
