@TimStone i suppose the quarantines and the deaths weren't warning enough huh
though i wonder if any of the news networks Trump watches was reporting on it. because it would be sad if everyone else in the world got prior warning except Trump because he just watched Fox News and they thought it was a Democrat Hoax and didn't report on it
@TimStone well yeh they did cover it up and that's bad but causing a global pandemic is a bit of a stretch
@TimStone do we know how North Korea was hit bu COVID-19? because i can imagine the death toll being way higher than Italy because of how poor most of the country is outside Pyongyang but at the same time, North Korea from my understanding is quite isolated in terms of tourism or even immigration from it's border neighbours so it might be way less?
dam, i was thinking about ordering BBQ Chicken Wings tomorrow
also mentioned in the article but not in the tweet is that the Victorian School Holidays are being to be brought up
honest that feels like they are trying to close schools down without actually saying they are. school holidays are only 2 weeks and i doubt the situation will get better before that
Even if you apply all the Sinophobia and circular logic you can think of, even if you get all your facts from China from sources with an agenda, at least they're not encouraging the virus to spread
@Studoku-ReinstateMonica they may have gotten it under control now (assuming the numbers are correct, i will always have my doubts about numbers from the Chinese Government) but they could have done it sooner has they not tried to cover it up in the first place
I don't want to watch the video to anger myself, but supposedly they straight up shove people out of the way and laugh at them so no one else could get any meat.
@Studoku-ReinstateMonica my problems are with the Chinese government because they have massive censorship, essentially one party that controls the government, and some really horrible policies like in Xinjiang. The current measures for the suppression of the virus are effective and I think we should have them here in some places tbh
If you could read Polish than I guess that would say something like "Polish Government launches a public Minecraft server to encourage teenagers to stay home"
And yet... Somehow I don't think this'll be enough to take down tRUmp. His supporters will blame the tanking economy on the Coronavirus and ignore his complete mismanagement of the epidemic
@Wipqozn yeah, but for a president who ran on a platform of reshoring jobs, giving back jobs to American citizens and other ostensibly economic policies, having booked literally negative progress since your inauguration on both stock exchange and jobs market should be political death
@Nzall Someone might be misleading then. He worked as a software engineer in an ad tech company, and said they were worrying if they still had their jobs in 6 months. I don't trust him completely because he is one of the elites who looks down on me and tell minor lies and excuses.
But I still try to understand him to my best every time
I can imagine, if their company loses clients who want advertising, it is possible that their company may face problems. But whether that is existential, I don't know
holy fuck. A verified comedian just changed his Twitter username to the exact same as Joe Biden's Twitter account and tweeted he's dropping out and endorsing Bernie Sanders because he died
It's funny to see how Trump schedules his pressers for 3 PM, then has the press wait half an hour so it doesn't actually start until 3:30, so that when he starts answering journalist questions the stocks have already closed
> Marcotte has a big heart and has used his Dan-Mel moving company to help others in the past, giving his moving services away free of charge to help those in need during the 2017 and 2018 wildfire seasons.
i suspect that someone may have recognized them in the video and posted their business details. there may have been some doxing involved too
@TimStone i was more thinking of someone desperate to horde cheese cake
@Nzall only now they are being extremely tested because the idea wasn't to have everyone work from home. here we use Cirtix and we've ran out of sessions so the client is rolling out a new system to ease the demand on the current system
@Nzall i find that it's weird you can change usernames on any platform
