Actually Ebola’s mortality rate is what stops millions and billions getting it. It does out before too many people get infected

But we don’t know how effective it will be. Remember there is no vaccine for the common cold

Even if it was accident, we need to punish China for being dumb and hiding the fact that caused countless of deaths. They can start with taking away the independence status of HK from an economic standpoint, that would prevent a lot of inflow of capitol. We can then talk about taking their treasury notes after.

Also Taiwan broke the news they are trying to buy up all the rice in the world, likely to extort other countries a few months from now. They are evil and stupid at the same time, I hope people see through it.

China should have done more, sure. You do know that US intelligence was aware of a rapidly spreading virus in Wuhan dating back to November 2019, right?

Currently, I am more worried about how the USA punishes those in power here.

From the dummies in the streets with guns and confederate flags claiming states rights and spreading the virus, to the governors, lawmakers and up to the top in the Oval Office that choose the $$$ over the health of those that keep the 1% in their ivory towers.

I have been following this since December, I know. If we had shut down the border and took this more seriously, we wouldn't be where we are. The administration is completely useless and dysfunctional, I don't expect anything from them. (Also a shout out f you to the WHO for being China's muppet) The whole two party fight is annoying and dumb to me. If one team decides to stand for something, the other team has to stand against it. They are just doing it to spite the other team. This is why we don't get anything done. The protection to the big business and ultra rich is obvious to me, the stock market is only down about 15% compare to 12-31-2019. Does that sound right to you? (I dumped a lot of my stocks and put myself in holding pattern)

Another lockdown in harbin China

I got slated a while back because I said Americans are stupid. I meant no disrespect because all of us aren’t stupid because we chose a Z over a bloody Supra.

In the UK (apart from the 300ZX club because they are a bunch of pretentious twats - probably bleating because they couldn’t afford a GTR) the Supra lot are the proverbial Brit with a Staffordshire Bull terrior, Arm like a cripple hook because it makes them “ look ‘arder “ we are just as stupid. Italy and Spain quarantining millions (children aren’t allowed outside their houses in some parts of Spain) the UK flew in 3000 Spanish Football fans so they could go to a football match (80,000 or so people crammed into a stadium FFS)

I’ll be open, I’m not privileged, I won a scholarship to a top school in the UK and was classically trained. I had to learn Latin for 3 years.... Trump has the vocabulary of a retard ( note the pronunciation like “Alan” from the Hangover) however he is a more slippery c*** than Tony Blair. Trump managed to wriggle out of a 20 billion dollar junk bond debt. Although Blair did encourage Bush to go to war with Iraq and created the “dodgy dossier” - I still think the UK government had their top chemical weapons expert assassinated. We are all fuckers

Problem with Trump. He is Stupid, an idiot. He’s also a nasty fucker. Thinks it’s funny when he talks derogatory about women. “ ha ha, I like to grab her pussy ha ha... yeah Donald, you grab her pussy” but it reflects on the rest of you when it comes to the rest of the world. But it’s worry OMG because he is nasty and stupid. He’s a dangerous idiot. Do you really rust someone like that with his finger on the nuclear trigger?

Anyways, Just like we are all moaners (the Australians call us whinging Poms) and they are right. The typical Brit is ignorant. The current topic is why can’t Joe public (John Doe in Yanky speak) crate and sell PPE? Because the whole supply chain and manufacturing process has to be validated and approved. Could you imagine a nurse going into a Covid ward wearing EBay special PPE and got infected? The lawyers would be circling like buzzards. Funny how we say the IS invented compensation culture but the worlds biggest law firms are based in London. And hey we blame you all for the credit crunch / financial crash in 2007/8 but wasn’t it it a Scottish bank that invented all those “Mortgage derivatives “ that broke the banking industry? I’m saying Scottish because the Loch Ness Monster Nicola Sturgeon (I call her “The Fish Woman” funny how Scottish leaders are named after fish... sorry I digress) Sturgeon wants independence from the UK. Fine I say. They want to live on North Sea oil and get handouts from the EU because they are too drunk on scotch or stoned on Heroin / Temazepam to give a ****...

Where was I? Marinading Beef Short Ribs in Jack Daniels overnight. I’m going to start cooking a **** off chilli tomorrow. I have drunk a bit.

Hey us Brits are the first to take the piss out of ourselves, please don’t take it to heart if we take the piss out of you? It’s nothing personal, we take the piss out of everyone... especially the French? Want to buy a gun? Get a 2nd hand French one. Never been fired, only dropped once... and we love reminding the Germans “who won the war?” Although we could have won, it would have taken a lot longer if we didn’t have our American brothers with us. But just remember, forget Hollywood, Britain captured and cracked enigma at Bletchley Park. Oh and Remember Australia is descended from British convicts. And don’t get me started about South Africans.... we aren’t racist etc, we just take the piss out of everyone. Because we are British and once had the greatest empire the world has ever seen what what.

Can I apologise? I’m rambling. I think I have drunk far too much Jack Daniels tonight ( I don’t normally like it - normally too sweet)

Hey not too drunk, I can string a sentence together. Those short ribs are
Looking boom

No offense, but UK is in much worse shape the US is. Boris Johnson got re-elected, he got the virus, he still wants to use Chinese stuff on 5G. USD/GBP will be 1:1 pretty soon.

Listen, I get that most of what you're saying is intended in good fun, taking a shot at us and being ok with us taking a shot back. Problem is, that's a bit of a cultural difference. You get to do that kind of stuff when we're friends, not before. Stick around, build some relationships and some friendships, and it'll be good. Until then, you're better off not taking the shot. :tiphat:

JL are we friends? :yum: Can I invite you at FB? ...lol :icon23:

Even knowing what you did to me....lol
Is that a cultural difference or language barrier...A word Im not familiar with...but Im open to new things all the time!


Honestly I didn’t even know what the hell is “Grits” that all this white boys wanting me to eat! Since then I eat it everyday for breakfast!:tup:

But no for Smegma!

No Huawei have been told to **** off - wasn’t just the UK, a lot of Europe - problem is, a lot of the IK backbone is BT badged which was Canadian Nortel which went bust....

We could have had Nokia which pulled out. Erriccson, sold out. So who do we buy it from?

. Have some sympathy they want to build 2 Chinese nuclear power stations near us because it is half the price of what the French and US can build (remember Vickers / Rolls Royce can no longer build them) so it is either GE / Westinghouse or Chinky French - EBay specials I suppose

My US friends sent me this. Calling her a buffoon LOL. Vegas must deserve a smarter better 'Mayor"

https://gizmodo.com/what-hapandemics...gas-1843009117

Even some casino owners are frantically distancing themselves from the mayor, probably because openly proclaiming that Las Vegas should deliberately become the test bed for uncontrolled viral spread isn’t a great marketing strategy.

“She has nothing to do with the strip, and we’re sick and tired of hearing this,” Diamond Resorts International CEO Stephen Cloobeck told MSNBC on Tuesday. He added her calls to reopen Vegas businesses in such a reckless manner are “Utter ********. Utter ********.”

Diamond resorts are the business version of thieving twats. Bought a timeshare from my Mum then proceeded to tell her she was not allowed to sell and had to pay them $1600 a year just to maintain her ability to use it.

Hey, is Brits take the piss, but when push comes to shove. We need you guys more than you need us.

What does Britain do? Screws your economy every now and then.

I mean no offence. Perhaps we could all learn from our cultural differences. Hey it’s 300 years since you told us to bigger off. Culture changes over that time.

Peace offering

Can I say a properly cooked British Roast dinner - has to be Beef or Goose, with Yorkshire Pudding Roast Parsnips and Honey / Orange Roast Carrots , blanched Sautéed cabbage and Maris Piper Roast potatoes done in Goose fat will beat any French cuisine and dare I say it “Thanksgiving Dinner”

However. The American Breakfast is to die for in the morning, especially when you are at an airport. It’s an English breakfast with every other meal you like and can think of. However the best American Breakfast I ever had was in a Canadian owned Hotel in Moscow. Poured the Maple Syrup over everything “Beluga Caviar”? And Vodka?

1999. That to me was putting an end to the Cold War. In Russia, having the most amazing American breakfast, with Vodka and Beluga Caviar

And apart from the odd few, Brit women are horrendous. Fat, I’ve even seen one with cellulite on her neck :ugh: The seriously fat ones aren’t as obnoxious as the seriously fat morbidly obese Americans, the fat Brits just think every man wants to **** them.

This is a cultural difference. British take the piss out of themselves
And don’t mind others taking the piss, as long as you don’t spill our pint. Other countries aren’t like that, so we as Brits should be more tolerant than taking the piss. No offence is ever intended .. unless you are the French (come on you had an amazing car - the Delorean, ok it was built by Irish and had a Renault engine - could be worse.... British Leyland.., “I cant be bothered to fit that as i’m on strike now” no wonder the Japanese has to rescue the British car industry

So please don’t take offence, it’s not personal

Hey we invented Nuclear power but can’t even build our own reactors now ...

PS the Canadian Hotel was also the HQ for the Russian Mafia “ Pushkin , no one goes on to the 4th floor” 2 weeks later a “Don” got gunned down outside , but the law said they couldn’t cover him up so while they are doing their CSI work, the Japanese are wandering by Kachick Kachick Kachick cameras going

I personally know three people that have died this month. 2 worked together and one didn’t. The common thing they shared is they weren’t very healthy.

One was a diabetic
One was a heavy smoker
One had lung cancer (stage 4)

All three were counted as Coronavirus deaths, but it makes me wonder how many other people are being lumped in those death stats.

If a person dies in an accident and covid is found in their system, theyre counted as a covid statistic.

Do you have a source for this? Genuinely interested, not trying to be a ****. Statistical skew is something that very much irritates me.

Can anyone tell me. Has Kim Jong Un snuffed it yet?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can understand 2 of them being counted, but claiming a stage 4 cancer patient died of the flu is disingenuous at best.

Couldnt find the original article from earlier month when I read about it. But heres a couple, Maybe dying from an accident unrelated to Covid, but being added to the stat if its in your system is a stretch? Who knows. But given that a CV PT has an upcharge, it wouldnt surprise me.
Its interesting in the Politifact article:

Strict federal definition: Until April 14, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention counted as COVID-19 deaths only those in which the coronavirus was confirmed in a laboratory test — even as testing was not widely available; now, CDC counts probable cases and deaths. The day the change was announced, New York City’s COVID-19 death tally soared by more than 3,700 when it included in its total the deaths of people who were suspected of having COVID-19 but were never tested.

From Realclearpolitics:

the ability to market as COVID-19 infection the intent is right now that those if someone dies with COVID-19 we are counting that as a COVID-19 death.

https://www.politifact.com/factcheck...D-19-payments/

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/vi...-19_death.html

Drop in the bucket in comparison to cases that aren't being counted due to shortages in testing.

LOL, I am getting my wife one of those latex suits.

There was one video, where the woman was walking around with a complete scuba diving outfit on. The air tank was about half her height. :rofl2: Wish I could have kept my Level A hazmat suit from the plant. That would shake a few people up.

Just on the news. Big cats like lions and tigers are testing positive for the virus now. :icon14:

Carol Baskins will finally get her comeuppance!

In the wild or in captivity? Regardless, thats odd.

Side note: Pepper woke up coughing in the middle of the night last night... :eekdance:

Not really... early evidence weeks ago suggested that cats were more susceptible to contracting the virus than dogs.

Since CV is zoonotic I understand for humans -> domesticated pets, but Lions an Tigers? :icon14:

I was just pointing out that it looked like felines were more prone to contracting the virus. So it would make sense that you might start seeing cases outside the domesticated species. Speaking of those felines in captivity, of course.

The likelihood of wild animals catching the virus is probably low. And I don't think anyone is out there capturing wild lions and tigers to test them for covid. If they are, fck them, humans need those tests lol

That would be called "thinning the herd" (and I'm not talking about the cats)! LOL
