i've not heard much from the expected contingent point out that, now that we've shut 1/3 of the global economy down, smog is clearing out of the sky.
i do worry about someone taking some 12 monkeys inspiration out of this, if only because it would never work: look at the US, effectively saying "there are no more pollution controls anymore, please pollute all you can to save the economy." if you could nuke all the busy commerce, sure, the earth would recover. but it won't just go quietly

wife believes they fabricated it as a weapon, but I'm still holding out on that belief. IT does seem a little too convenient and tbh it does annoy me that the rest of the world is sitting in the dust of this thing while China is gallivanting back to "normalcy"

Nobody made this, it’s been a long time coming.
Of course a totalitarian state can get back to normal more quickly, their lockdown will have been far worse than the ones in any democratic country. Also they’re probably fudging their numbers to give the impression things are better than they are so they can pounce in the global leader shaped hole left by the US.

I tend to agree with you...she's being silly imo.....definitely they are in a much better situation with their gazzilion checkpoints and social control measures. Can't go anywhere without showing some form of id. Also, they've had a nice head start time wise to deal with it. Fucking hoping the rest of the world can bounce back.

interesting. so were the researchers intentionally splashed with bat blood and piss, to test transmissibility maybe? or was it just shoddy practices at the lab? were the lab's bats taken from the market, or independently collected? was the market even involved?

yeah that id like to know, i assume they got lazy with protocols. i guess handling bats is difficult, im not saying this is 100% the origin of the pandemic, but it seems very logical to me, virology lab, bats, wuhan occams razor really

it's not beyond the realms of possibility, the uk have had chem / bio programmes on the sly for years (porton down etc) and i assume the chinese have too. seems likelier to have been an accident i'd say though. all very like the plot of the stand just without the 99.8% mortality rate and messianic visions

yeah its very true, one thing i would say is that if the virus is endemic in the bat population you would expect a plague like this to have happened before had, i assume the Chinese have been eating bats for thousands of years, so why the sudden jump/human transmit-ability is so high. I wouldnt put it past them meddling where they shouldn't be, but yeah thats pure speculation on my part

i don't think anyone really knows yet conventional wisdom applies: i'll believe it when i see a check
but, meanwhile, i'm sure some people are assuming they'll simply get a check soon, and there will be some obvious blowback when some do not
college students, no. elderly people who haven't filed taxes in a while, shit, we might miss you. meanwhile, it's already been made clear i, personally, will get nothing, because i make too much money. i wouldn't definite it as "too much" in my own personal terms, mind you, this is just what the govt. says.
also lost, and i think it's still true, for some people it will just be a loan against payroll taxes
