Dax, looks like someone who was spreading a hoax was killed by another hoax!

Never said it was a hoax, Da Big Psycho.

Low IQ easily indoctrinated parrot boys like you immediately jump to that tact anytime something you’re told to believe is questioned.

I mean your dear leader has called both a hoax... whatever dear leader says you just high step salute it. Just connecting the dots.

You simply parrot whatever every self affirming article tells you to think.

"If there is any good to come from the devastating impact on our nation of this pandemic brought about by the Chinese communist regime through its malice and incompetence, it will be the likely demise of enthusiasm for globalization as we know it across the West.

“In a fascinating open letter to German Prime Minister Angela Merkel, epidemiologist Mihai Grigoriu concludes that with the French study, corroborated by findings from a Stanford antibody seroprevalence study in Santa Clara county, “the case for extreme measures collapses like a house of cards.” Grigoriu says that since the virus has already spread widely in the general population, efforts to stop further spread are both futile and destructive.”

It’s a hoax and we should open up and just let it run it’s course. - Dax

Straight to the tap out.  Low IQ useful idiot.

Well crap I didn’t realize the-american-interest.com agreed with Dax on this one. I’ll need to rethink my position.

I don’t even know WTF that means.

Yes you do. It's dreaded source pearl clutching. Ignore him. You and I both know that the-american-interest.com is what the once-proud NYT believed itself to be.

I mean this was definitely a take

We now know that the crisis was a comedy of errors. The Chinese let it get going in the raw bat markets of Wuhan. But together with the Koreans, the Chinese dithered and demurred and allowed six weeks of rampant propagation to create herd immunity before they began locking everyone up. Therefore, the Chinese and Koreans were among the first to recover.

I was going to read this over but I just want you to know if you lead of with this:

The Wuhan Virus and the attendant misery that the Chinese communist state has unleashed upon the world

It's gonna be hard to take you seriously

[michigancat]

Also, it was mostly nonsense (I didn't bother reading closely), but right now manufacturing in China and most of Asia is more stable than the US. That article night have rung true in January but not really now.

cRusty, I quit taking you seriously a long time ago.

You're hyper PC BS is just nothing but pure comedy to me at this point.

[sonofdaxjones]

Because cRusty, that's exactly what they wanted.   They clearly decided that since they couldn't control it, they were going to cover it up and let it infect the whole world because they knew their draconian measures would allow them to come through the other side in better shape.

But you'll never acknowledge that reality.

Now we know they bought up over 2 billion masks around the globe while they were keeping it secret, and now they're shipping shitty defective medical supplies around the globe and then blaming the receiving government for mishandling the items or not understanding how they they work.

Man, Dax After Dark is even better than Dax In The Daylight 

[Dugout DickStone]

But totally crap faced dax posting at 1 am is probably right about the chinese response.  They completely crap on everyone in the response. They also knew we wouldn't weld people in their houses and shoot people who defy the rules so yeah.

The article he links though says the virus came from wet markets in Wuhan which is kind of a switch from the intentional bio-weapon position

[michigancat]

yeah I reread the article and I think the guy is right that companies will try to become less reliant on China in the long term. But in general, depending on the industry, they'll probably want a little more redundancy globally - probably a mix of US and overseas production in different regions in case an outbreak impacts one part of the world more than others. Becoming entirely reliant on US manufacturing seems possibly dumber than being entirely reliant on China given our incompetent response to the outbreak.

I also don't think that companies like Apple reducing their presence in China would be a good thing if you want the CCP to become less authoritarian.

[sonofdaxjones]

Time to do the right thing cRusty. 

In addition there’s now concern that the virus can attach itself to particulate pollution.  Welp, the worst particulate polluter on the planet is . . . China (and their industrial areas run on average 60 to 70 ppm higher than the rest of the planet on Carbon emissions).

[treysolid]

Dax with a very anti-capitalistic stance in this thread, recently...

[sonofdaxjones]

Let’s use Capitalism to finance the Chinese Communist Party, I mean, some day they’re gonna change, right?  (Trey)

how do you suggest we end our reliance on chinese goods and services?

ecuador jumps out as having had large unreported outbreak.  there's probably a number of countries that we don't even have decent excess deaths numbers from, though.

[DaBigTrain]

Based on trends we should break 1 million confirmed cases tomorrow. That seems like a lot more than 15 I was told would go down to 0.

[DQ12]

Fewest reported deaths since April 6 today.

good thread.  it is absolutely infuriating that we aren't farther along on testing, on contact tracing and on quarantining.  in most of the country, we've been shut down for over a month and as far as i can tell from publicly available information we've made little to no progress in putting in to place a framework to reduce and control the rate of transmission as we relax shutdown measures.
