  Usually things made in China don’t last long, this thing is Chinese made and built to last.

  Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

  this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

  latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

  the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

  I think it’s unreasonable to expect these places to remain desolate for at least six months, like they’re saying. Half the kids at these places are usually there to escape family’s of serious dysfunction also.

  Of course people can make use of skate parks with out putting the community at unnecessary risk, it’s not a germ fest like the petrol bowser handle.

  It’s outdoors, keep the distance and enforce reasonable social distances, we are in for this for the long haul

  Do you have any evidence that the GB had bad intent?

  do you have any evidence that the gb had bad intent?

  as opposed to blind faith/cognitive dissonance and honest mistakes.. i'm inclined to think they have the best of intentions and are just wrong (primarily because the bible is wrong), but i'm willing to consider the evidence otherwise..

  It started as bad, but when the evidence came in and things looked bad, the goal posts were slightly shifted and the ‘bad’ had to be ‘evil’

  i was watching the local news in the background and i heard a guy talking about 3m and how florida was getting screwed.

  i didn't hear the whole report.. later, i was switching through the channels and i saw the same guy talking to tucker carlson (fox news).

  come to find out he is the federal cdc equivalent at the state level.

  It’s basically a wartime effort that is now required to get away from Chinese dependence, and start the manufacturing processes at home.

  We don’t need to have the actual war, we should use the covid19 scare as the catalyst for change.

  If we don’t, war with China is inevitable long term anyhow, certainly not an unreasonable prediction.

  They’ve consistently disregarded international law, their attitude toward fishing Indonesian, Australian or whoever else’s coastlines for example, they need to get fucked. They’ve built their economy on the back of destroying human rights and basic freedoms.

  Western society’s have been built on the back of consumerism, that needs to stop.

  We need to cut the cord with China in every conceivable way ASAP, or even sooner if possible

  What person would claim any group as the majority amazing?

  I think most Firemen are amazing people, most anthropologists are amazing, most war veterans are amazing, most electricians, most muslims..it doesn’t matter the group, just a silly thing to say.

  I was trying to highlight your flawed start, you came with bias, you kind of announced it personally.

  They produced some DVDs about the organisations history, have you seen them?

  They misrepresent what they believed prior to 1914, it’s a deliberate attempt to make it seem they made a special prediction

  It is ridiculous how the are clamping down, often over-aggressively, on people who are at very little risk and are just getting some exercise going for walks alone
  

  It’s gone to far IMO, things like closing all the skate parks where the youths like to gather. It also only really relies on people’s goodwill, and if the populations start to disobey the rules the government has no way of controlling it.

  We need to accept the risk to a degree, like we do with everything in Iife and try to find a better balance, these empty park benches and play swings isn’t going to work long term

  I disliked your post, and your comments afterwards, you have obvious bias.

  Actually I find that many derogatory comments here are extremely biased. I think most of them are amazing people, and I wish more non-Witnesses were like them.

  You’ve labeled people apostates and the JWs as amazing.

  I’m not going to feed you any further
