So, basically in Slough there are only two officially confirmed cases, and then out of nowhere this woman with advanced cancer shows up and passes away an hour later, only for it to turn out she actually tested positive. God rest her soul.

I guess they'll just keep testing the dead and anyone coughing up blood.
In our neck of the woods, things won't really "blow up" until they actually start ramping up the testing, and once that happens, the government will probably just slap us with a curfew because they'll blame everything on some irresponsible public.
We’re definitely going to be the last ones to crawl out of this whole crisis, it's just classic us.

And honestly? That’s fine by me.
Crisis is basically our natural habitat; we probably wouldn't even know how to function if things were actually stable.

The important thing is that tomorrow everyone will show up with mortality statistics—as if anyone cares how many people are infected, or how many we've already buried.

Then they called me back later just to tell me I sounded fine—basically saying they didn't think I was being critical.

Oh, you sound fine, do you? 🙏 Like some high-tech Korean smartphone! A total diagnostic tool in one device, right?

So, we're looking at a brand-new, unknown viral illness that could potentially trigger massive respiratory issues, yet this patient didn't even get a stethoscope check because, hey, they "sounded fine" 🤣.
As long as everything looks good on paper, right? ☕.

Just wait, I'm sure Paul Martinez73 will jump in now to explain exactly how this is supposed to work
. These breaking news reports about every single death are just a snapshot of the reality we're living in...

This woman is essentially asking the same thing I touched on in my previous post. The strategy regarding confirmed cases without major symptoms seems incredibly weak to me. It doesn't feel like a real attempt to suppress the virus; rather, it looks like an effort to keep infection numbers within a range that keeps the government satisfied. In the end, if that means dozens of deaths or severe illnesses, it all just becomes mere statistics...

And what are they supposed to do with people who barely have any symptoms? There's nothing for them to do in the hospital; they’d just be taking up beds, and honestly, they might even catch something else while they're there.🤣 It’s better if they just stay home and sweat out the fever.

It's the perfect way to manipulate the stats so it looks like infections are low, even when everyone is actually falling sick. And boom—there's your excuse to extend the quarantine and lean even harder into this police state nonsense.☕

How's life in Martha's Vineyard? Picking up any deodorants at Walmart lately?

Just like any true career criminal, you've completely lost your way.
You've become incredibly obnoxious, resorting to cheap ad hominem attacks against people...
Spinning narratives whenever an objective doesn't suit your whims or serve your interests.

But then again, considering how much you enjoy playing the war profiteer idol, I suppose I shouldn't expect anything better from you.

That's pretty much it. Every single one of your points sounds like something straight out of Njegoš.

But then again,

the government shut everything down because of Coron, the women are calling for help, and these guys are just saying, "you sound fine to me."🤣

Meanwhile, there are barricades on the roads. And spikes.🙏

So what, she didn't even put up a fight? What an idiot.

Since I have plenty of free time, I've been doing my own research.

Viruses mutate every year, and new ones pop up constantly.
They infect millions globally and take out the most vulnerable.
That's just natural selection—or nature's attempt at it, since we actually try to defend ourselves now.

Most sick people pass away because some virus or bacteria finishes them off after a previous illness has already wrecked their immune system.

But this year, they decided to make a huge scene about it, running endless tests and tracking statistics for this new virus.

Someone needs to frame this post; it’s absolute gold. 🤣

This Character attacks me for using ad hominem arguments while doing the exact same thing—insinuating I'm some kind of Republican or a follower of Glavat. Honestly, I've done more to fight against him and the Republican Party than you've ever written in your miserable life. All you know how to do is post on forums and play this "important persona" on Reddit or whatever social media you haunt. Get out of your armchair and actually do something with your life; quit the forums and try feeling important in the real world. Life isn't a movie... stop watching them so much, get a grip, and go do something that actually makes you happy.

The Coronavirus will pass, but you? You'll still be stuck being exactly who you are.

Peace to you too, from everyone here.

Amanda Evans2, urbanhawk17, Ashley Bailey6, and Paul Sanders5 are basically our frontline defense against the common cold...

The entire scientific community is working themselves to death on those ventilators🤣
I’m hearing even the WHO is starting to sweat after all the nonsense we've seen over the last few days...

TOP GERMAN VIROLOG: 'You want to know why our mortality rate from Coron is so low compared to everyone else? It’s simple—we run half a million tests every single week.'



Since when did that start happening? Since there isn't any clear timeline provided here, they're just suddenly claiming Germans are cranking out 500,000 tests a week out of nowhere.
Anyway, I guess it's a good thing, and if it actually turns out to be true, it's pretty obvious that everyone involved in mass testing is pulling some serious benefits from the whole operation.

I remember reading an article a while back about this scientist—another German guy, actually—who basically pioneered the first tests back in January; he took 11 different samples, sent them over to China, and they confirmed which one was the most effective at detecting the virus, and now he's running his own lab producing a million tests a week and selling them for 160 euros per 100 units to several different countries.
And honestly, he's getting pretty heated with every other nation on Earth, asking why they aren't manufacturing these tests in massive quantities and running huge testing programs themselves, especially since making the tests isn't even that complicated of a process. 🤷

The healthcare system is trembling because, oh no, two oncology patients and one 80-year-old passed away from a cold in a single month.
We're talking barricades and bayonets to defend against a 99.5-degree fever.

For someone who claims to fight against migraines and the Republican Party, it's quite something to see how unconditionally you support every single government crackdown and new restriction.
I just want to make sure you understand the economic fallout of this entire hysteria, and that you're okay with all those lost dreams just because of a little sniffle.

Just keep up the good fight and try to relax.
If you actually had any perspective, you'd realize that people can have different opinions than yours without you needing to sink to the level of calling others "pathetic." You're practically handing your wife over to the neighbors.
I'm certain your life is just spectacular; it's always the people living perfect lives who feel the need to broadcast it constantly. Congratulations on your success.

On the front lines of fighting totalitarianism and a police state. A person who fights against headaches and Republicans.
How yes no

What happened to that whole "stay at home" mantra? 🤣
Hide away from everything—from Ebola to SARS, from bird flu to swine flu.
Let’s protect our precious little lives and butts at any cost.

It doesn't matter that we're a nation built on faith; we're all terrified of death because we've actually achieved something in this life. When some new flu mutation hits, everyone should just stay inside and spit on anyone who dares to disagree.
We should implement Alcatraz for anyone caught walking down the street.
Hand out prison sentences to those who violate self-isolation protocols, because apparently, someone decided to travel through Europe, so let's just lock them up for 14 days. No trials, no questions, no temperature checks required.

You guys have completely lost your nerve, you supposed patriots fighting for a better America...

Even if she had just grabbed the kid and rushed him to the hospital, the media and everyone else would have torn her apart.

Honestly, I’m kind of surprised she managed to walk away without taking him herself.

The system is up and running 🙏🙏🙏

The unchecked recklessness of the histrionics☕

"I don't believe a word of it! People can call all they want and claim whatever they feel like. I'm losing three hours every single day listening to nothing but hearsay," Maja Grba-Bujević, the director of Emergency Services, snapped at us. We had just called to ask how on earth the paramedics could be refusing to help someone just because they were under a mandatory quarantine order.

🙏🙏🙏

So the neighbor didn't just stumble in—the kid could have died right there.🤦

It's basically what Amanda Evans2 was saying the other day—more people will end up dying from a broken healthcare system during an epidemic than from the actual virus itself.
