One and a third million. And people are starting to come out again around here.
Isolation can't continue forever. However bad this plague turns out to be, it will pass but the potential cultural impact could hang around for a long time.
Why do the chinese eat almost literally anything, including live animals or cooking their food with slop from sewers? Because their ancestors were starving and the most picky eaters died first.
And now the entire world is locked down. Just how bad could things get fifty years from now if we keep going like this for too long?
Do you know how to take responsibility for things, Ibian? Or do you just like to blame others, including your previous bullshit about genetic intelligence?
I am sure that the Chinese better be learning some shit from this whole situation, but the west also needs to learn some shit too, which is why the fuck have so many vulnerabilities in a variety of supply chains?
Sure, we could have chosen a world that has a whole lot less world travel too, but the world that we currently live in has a lot of travel, including difficulties that will come from seemingly highly contagious shit like this... and there is all kinds of experimenting going on with viruses too, so if this one escaped in china or even escaped somewhere else or was purposefully planted, it may take a long time before theories and facts are investigated in order to attempt to figure out what actually went wrong here, rather than making shit up in regards to what caused it and the various impacts, including that we still seem to be somewhat on the front end of this shit...
Even though tests are still being developed, it is hard to believe that even having testing is going to resolve a lot of the numbers (whether deaths, numbers of infected or even numbers carrying the anti-bodies that might have become immuned, perhaps) that continue to increase and plateauing seems to be more wishful than actual, at least currently.
