It's very telling but not surprising that we can't come together to battle this without having ulterior motives and being argumentative. Trying to find something to gain due to an epidemic like this is just a cycle that our species has been through time and time again. It'll never change. Blah. Whatever.

"The media went nuts claiming this was irresponsible but it’s actually workingin"
It being irresponsible and potentially dangerous wasnt an outcome that was unforeseeable to anyone except our president and apparently u.
1) This is your logic:
Trump says ergonomic chairs are good for your back. Person smashes the chair onto his back to try to get rid of back aches. Gets paralyzed. Trump’s fault?
Trump says he loves hamburgers. Person eats a burger without chewing it. Chokes and dies. Trump’s fault?
Trump recommends the use of sunblock when going under the sun. Person drinks sunblock. Dies. Trump’s fault?
What you’re doing there is reaching. You want to assign blame to Trump and thus your confirmation bias wants any and all occurences that even has a minute connection to be somehow blameable.
This is TDS. You may want to do a bit of introspection. This is not healthy.
2) Comparing Trump’s comments to China withholding information on the virus causing thousands of avoidable deaths is insane. I never thought TDS really drove ppl insane, but you seem to be living proof.
If those fish tank cleaner people were intelligent enough to read the label and see that it contained a compound with a similar name to the one Trump mentioned, then they really should have been intelligent enough to know better or even keep reading and see the part about non-consumption.
Unfortunate, but I'm not gonna cry about two fewer idiots in the world.
Oxford Study:
Only 1/1000 people infected with SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 require hospitalization.
Over half the people of the UK area already infected.
Mortality rate is less than 0.1%.

"I am surprised that there has been such unqualified acceptance of the Imperial model*..." Sunetra Gupta, professor of theoretical epidemiology, who led the study, told the Financial Times.
*The Imperial Model is shutting down everything and requiring social distancing. The nuclear option during a pandemic which is the step right before forced martial law by military in germ-warfare protection suits.
hmm
Sounds an awful lot like what your resident KMC Poster, dadudemon, has been saying for over a week now, doesn't it?
Edit - I still put the mortality rate closer to .3%, however.
Here in Ireland we had another death and a bunch more cases, but with so many places closing and it looking like people are actually sticking to social distancing, the hope is that things will only improve from this point. Me and my at-risk immune system can actually go back outside more often too.
Still ****ing sucks though that nobody will stick it to China after this, though.
Yes. The Coronavirus IS 100% China’s fault. Too bad they’ll likely be the economic powerhouse when this is all done. Check out my post in the China effed the world thread. I feel they did this intentionally.
Edit. Meant “I feel they MAY have done this intentionally via a 100% tinfoil hat level conspiracy theory that is based on purely circumstantial evidence (meaning don’t take it seriously)”.

I keep telling people that the lockdown is far too late. That most people already have it thanks to the massive amount of panic buying last week and beginning of this week. That most people are now in the wait and see if I get symptoms phase. They look.at me as if I'm an idiot. I really wish they were doing antibody tests so I could tell them to ****ing poke it and that I'm right.
Well, when I saw what happened in China, what the response was by the WHO (w/c is corrupt AF IMO) and the fact the governments were taking their cues from the corrupt WHO, I already began my supply runs when no one else did. While wearing protective gear. Did it early Feb. Ppl looked at me like I was nuts.

I saw that. And tbh, I wouldn't put it past them. Not that I think that's what happened, mind you.
China royally ****ed up and their incompetence, coupled with the incompetence of several western leaders, made an ageing Western population paid for it.
1st case happened in the county North of mine. It’s only a matter of time before we get it. Once it does there’s a chance it will kill off a lot of elders from the Tribes, The Navajo Rez jumped like 30 cases in a day. This thing has the numbers to decimate the elderly especially in remote tribal settlements. My job place will probably pay us this check but I’m going to have to apply for stuff before or after April 2nd

Of course. People with TDS (or whatever obsession it may be) can’t be convinced to change their mind no matter how logical a point is presented to them. I see since you have no counter to my logic, you’ve just decided to predictably double down.
Up to you, really. /shug
Lol tds.
Ive complimented trump here when i think he's done something good and i criticize him when when i disagree.
U didn't really double down with a string of more incomparable analogies then accuse me of doubling down with my response did u?
Dear me how could i ever counter genius logic like that

Past actions does not excuse/justify present actions. :-/ the fact you think it does is worrying. It’s like the whole “I can’t be racist, I got black friends” BS after being caught saying the N-word online.
But that is all a red herring. You have decided to distract from the weakness of your point via your “I don’t have TDS, I praised Trump before (aka the “I got Black friends”)” defense. If you wanna prove your point has merit, prove it by defending the point itself and not by deviating away from it.
From where I am standing, they are practically identical. Trump said good things about a treatment, some fools used the treatment disastrously wrong (against all common sense and reason) and got themselves hurt/killed. How is that different? Point it out exactly. Going “NUH UH” only shows that doubling down is all you’ve got because you got nothing.
Nib have u gone mental?
Ur the one who doubled down with ur sting of poor analogies
Ur the one who brought tds and personal bias into the convo to distract from ur own weak points.
You've now doubled down on ur tds attacks
Now ur the one who is tripling down with ur defense of ur poor analogies.
Talk about red herrings and distractions.
Fyi ive already explained in this thread why analogies identical to yours are faulty. Im not going 2 explain it again and hold ur hand throughout this.
