Coronavirus RESPECTFUL Discussion Only! (Mod edit: Closed)

[venecol]

your being extremely vague by saying his view. His view on what? And what particularly is his view on the subject your talking about.

this is how discussions are had

Apparently his view is whatever Tucker Carlson's view is. Tucker says Chinese Virus, Trump mimics Chinese Virus.

Reason: because it started in China.
WHO: call it coronavirus to avoid discrimination.
Press: Mr. President there are american citizens (that happen to be asian descent) that are being harrassed, why call it that?
Trump: oh I think asians would like that I'm calling it Chinese virus.

Of course, all the irish dudes don't have an issue with asians being harrassed because, well they're irish. Makes perfect sense really.

Now let's all work to make sure we defeat this virus together (unless your asian then F U).

I was around when HIV was called "gay cancer" because it was the gays that had it. Until moms and little kids started getting it and dying. Nothing's changed.

Where are you finding these? Twitter?

A bunch of different sites. When I'm bored, or working in front of the computer, I surf for stories, info, and fun. So I find things all around.

You keep saying stupid ****. You should stop doing that, at least on this specific subject.

Sure thing Tucker.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Time to really fan some flames.

What will the anti-vaxxers do when the vaccine is available?

 

[fightingirish595]

Sure thing Tucker.

Tucker is a voice of reason. He probably helped keep us out of a war with Iran

You know, haven't seen much from the anti-vax crowd on social media lately. Almost like there's a pandemic of some chit going around.

I have to say, if a virus like this came out of America or Ireland, and a foreign leader called it “the American/Irish Virus,” I really don’t think I’d be offended. I’d just look at it and say “eh... it came from America/Ireland.” For someone that regularly says some pretty risqué **** on here, you’re being pretty soft and feminine on this matter. The hell do you care if people get offended by the President calling a Chinese virus “The Chinese Virus?” If they’re that easily offended, they’re probably offended daily. In that case, they need not be taken seriously.

At least a year to go. Plenty of time for them to speak up later.

They should stick to their guns. Don’t make exceptions for this one virus.

Darwin in action.

 

[venecol]

So now that test kits are supposedly starting to go out, there is a shortage of reagents, swabs, and other parts to actually conduct the tests. Not sure of all the correct jargon (@Adam Seward ) but this is another problem we weren't prepared for.

This virus is showing all the weaknesses in the system.

Did you see him say it? It was pretty funny. chiiii-NA. He wasn't about to take any crap from that reporter trying to correct him. I'm not weighing in on whether he's right or wrong, just his attitude in general about it.

"It comes from China. Chiii-NA."

I didn’t see it, but I can hear his voice saying it that way. That’s Trump.

I don't care or am offended by what he says. You know me, IDGAF.

I'm also not asian though. Whatever, I give up.

Thats Trump. The Chinese blamed the US Army. He doesn't care about PC whatsoever.

 

[venecol]

Some of the young people in China that got the virus and recovered were tested a few months later and had 20-30% reduced lung capacity. Shyyyt

it’s hilarious, you need to

 

[fnordcircle]

Who the h*ll really cares what is called?? Like that makes any difference. Surely there is something more significant to worry about in people’s lives.

Hey man in the future it'd be nice if you just let us know what we should and should not notice or discuss. It would save a ton of time!

 

[primetime]

Trump engaged in petty schoolyard fights over semantics with journalists while the world burns is Trump in a nutshell, his supporters love it, and the media just can't help themselves from outting themselves in a place where Trump is comfortable (as opposed to, like, literally any other situation). Literally doesn't matter what you call a virus when people are dying and going to continue to die, and nationalists are going to do nationalism regardless of whether you tut tut them over it.
