Controversial General Political Discussion

[Saturn-sama]

Didn't think so, but I also was against lockdowns the last time.

So was I, but remember monkey pox? This is just going to be forgotten too.

 

[Zenos7]

Eh... I hope not, but if there is another pandemic we can't just sink our economy again.

depends on how bad it gets though.

As someone who worked within care work during the time -- these lockdowns protect nobody. The hospitals shipped the ill into old folks homes and killed people.

Furthermore, locking up people who do not have comorbities for the sake of protecting "the few" will just make a long-term issue where people literally begin starving to death (the cost of living crisis is in part a knock-on effect of the last lockdown). No. Never again. I warned the Mrs. Pre-Covid (because she was watching the news from China back in 2019) that we should, under no circumstances, have a lockdown as it will cause great economic strife, and that any emergency medicines/vaccines would have poor efficacy.

I was not wrong. And to ignore the issues with the current vaccines is myopic at least.

if we get hit with a pandemic of a disease that has a mortality rate of 50%, we will definitely have extreme lock downs. and rightfully so. it will hopefully take alot of time until human-to-human transmission will be a thing

Breh, it says you quoted me... I don't see it. What happened?

I do not think that Bird Flu has a 50% mortality rate. That feels like grade-A hysteria... though if I am wrong, well - I'm wrong, lmao.

*Edit - Just checked. Yes, it has 50% mortality but that is in the current form which has a low pathology. Any mutations that might allow it to better transmit to humans may impact it's mortality rate. At present, given that it is not spreading well, I don't really feel any concern.

Now, if people SO HAPPEN to start dropping like flies, I think the economy is the last of our concerns as the supply chain will completely crumble.

Yo yo yo what's the current topic?

It was an accidental quote.

Didn't even see what he said lmao.

That's depressing.

I heard a while back that Canadian psyches were covertly telling the mentally ill that euthanasia was always on the table.... but this is just....

Likewise. It's just wrong. It's an abuse of their power as their clinician to... well, you get the point. Fuck.

Bro cracked the system. He's now a Zoan.
