I think this article sums up the frustration quite well:



Quote:
All we had was our humanity. And that’s exactly what is being lost during this pandemic.
While arguments are breaking out on social media—and in person in some places—about whether people are wearing masks or gloves or keeping their distance, people like this poor gentleman are wondering how they are going to feed their family.
Suicide hotlines are overwhelmed. Unemployment is skyrocketing. Women and children in abusive relationships are stuck at home in a nightmare situation with their abusers. Alcohol sales are through the roof. Foster kids have nowhere to go to be loved and cared for.
Yet we are fighting over masks, sitting in our privileged homes and pounding away on our phones, sending tweets and posting Facebook comments demeaning other people in the harshest of ways. Masks are the last thing a person is thinking about when he cannot make ends meet and is trying to figure out how much rice and beans he can afford with an almost empty bank account.
Our humanity is being lost in endless cycles of cruelty and judgements, both in person and online. Adults are resorting to bully tactics when they don’t get their way or don’t understand where another person is coming from. Can’t we do better than this?

diplomatic relations sour between Canberra and Beijing following the Morrison government's push for an inquiry into the outbreak. This week, China threatened to impose an 80 per cent tariff on Australian barley exports and suspended beef imports from four major Australian abattoirs, prompting federal government concerns that China plans to use economic levers to pressure Australia to back down. China has denied the moves were linked to the coronavirus dispute.

LOL sorry, I thought I placed the above article in the wrong thread. So I deleted it only afterwards did I realize that admin combined with the Wuhan thread. So here it is again

Didn't he say he takes it daily? If we are lucky it will relieve us of Donald sooner or later. Which may be seen as proof then that it is a potent drug against stupidity.

Now you're openly wishing for Trumps death. Can we wish for your death too without it being considered a personal attack?

I see. Once the virus has killed the "right" weak it will start killing the "wrong" weak. Social Darwinism is a concept for weirdos (proved by your post), but you have taken it to the next level and now it's weirder than weird.

Seeing all these videoclips from Brazil, other countries and hearing the news from USA and other countries, one can't help thinking on the Black Death in our Middle age.

Not 50 - make it over 100 now, still growing.


So it goes if you ignore the 101 of infection prevention.



First federal state (Thuringia) has announced that in a week they want to abandon ALL Covid-19 measures alltogether: social distancing. Mask wearing. Desinfecting rules. EVERYTHING NO MORE DONE.



Sweet dreams 'til sunbeams find you,
sweet dreams to leave all worries behind you...

I also left out people who just naturally age/decline and become new targets for the lion.


Sometimes the lion gets into the sheep pen too.

What is this?

Now when I'm remembering it.

Said by some Doctors on Swedish tv, some weeks ago.
(from memory)
The tendency is clear, when we see who's suffering most from this Corona.

Male who smoke with high blood pressure above 50 years of age=99.99 % sure to die if infected by Corona.

Danish tv few days later.

If we look at who have the highest risk of dying from Corona
It's those with high weight with a BMI above 30 and with a none-treated high blood pressure.

So there you have it.

If you live in Sweden and are a man above 50 with high blood pressure and smoke you most likely will die from a Corona infection.

While you can smoke as much you wish in Denmark....as long you don't have a BMI above 30 and your blood pressure is being treated.

My thought

What is this.

In Sweden it's very, very much non correct to smoke.
In Denmark it's very, very much non correct to be fat.

Don't know how to explain this, because I could be wrong.
But it seems like they don't know exactly why some people die from Corona and therefore they need a scapegoat-In Sweden it's smoking and in Denmark it's overweight

I believe you can wish for it. Just not post that is your wish.

This would make a lot more sense if I could find the (later) version with "I got cable TV in my.......hell hole".

But, I couldn't, you know, find it, so, nevermind.
