TIL arabia is not in asia.
and dari is wrong about the bubonic plague. doesn't have anything to do with eating bush meat, and may have originated in kyrgistan, then spread into china by traders. H1N1 may have originated on a pig farm in kansas. may have originated in france. may have originated in china. but, hey, what's information when you've got the certainty of ignorance.
It's like you didn't even read what I wrote. And none of what you wrote changes anything. The blame squarely lies with the source. If this nastiness started in NYC I would blame NYers. But it didn't. It started in China. Dismiss what I said as the latest pathetic victim badges but China is still to blame for this pandemic. Their love of all things disgusting is what led to this global misery. People that were supposed to live longer are now dropping like flies and it's all because some Chinese somewhere wanted his bat when he went to the local market. That's just a fact.I sat here a moment and I just don't have anything really in response to your recent racist, bigoted, and xenophobic remarks.
But you should know zoonotic virus transfer happens everywhere. Happens often actually; quite a few random little viruses people will experience may be new strains that just aren't capable of spreading well and eventually die off. Or they don't, and mutate along the way.
MERS, another coronavirus of recent importance, is one that did not originate inAsia* East Asia, nor did it originate from exotic eating habits. It originated in the middle east, and the zoonotic transfer either occurred directly from camel to man, or indirectly via another host. Thankfully MERS didn't seem to be have "qualities" to spread far, and it didn't use the ace2 receptor like both SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2.
It could come from a pet even, as some coronaviruses can infect dogs and there may be dog-specific strains. This strain appears to even be capable though it appears rarely.
But listen, bashing China is fun and all, but this is just part of the natural result of massive population density. Now China has not helped by permitting such high density wet markets (or not doing enough to crack down on them), but they are not the sole source of such viruses. This one was sneaky due to the typically long lag time in symptoms and large spread of possible symptoms. I don't encourage the conditions in China that led to this but I also don't blame China either. Viruses are viruses.
Their love of SECRECY AND CENSORSHIP is what led to this global misery.
Nonsense, it's the combination of people over there fucking like rabbits & eating cats, bats, rats, anything that moves, basically. They gave the world the plague. There was no Communist party 700 years ago. The miasma of despair and melancholy hanging over the world is because they can't quit consuming every animal on earth. It was just last week when two of the three last white giraffes on earth were killed by poachers. Who do you think uses those animals and others as aphrodisiacs? I mean, seeing how there's like a trillion Chinese walking this earth, do they really need to use dead exotic animals as a stimulant to fuck? Really?Ftfy.

Raymond Kurzweil famously said that the future is already here, just unevenly distributed. If China is humanity's future, the entire planet is fucked, including our humanity. They need to be pacified.
"bag of milk"Still lot of people not complying with the quarantine rule when coming back from travel.
Very likely this is the origin of Covid-19 BUT had China come clean about the gravity of the situation when it actually began months ago I suspect we would be in a lot better shape right now.

$2.4 billion in revenue last year, and they can't make rent one month into an economic hiccup? They have no corporate slush fund for lean times? Nothing prepared? Really?

Like I said before, modern corporations are debt engines. Profits go straight to shareholders/executives. Capital reserves are for suckers.

My local Facebook feed is full of business closing up shop for good. The latest one was also a chain...

They should but they won't. They're blaming us for this virus. Truly evil and wicked people.That's pretty much it, unfortunately. When people on the news were saying China should forgive the $1 trillion American debt owed to them, I laughed, but then I saw the $2 trillion dollar stimulus bill that just got approved, and read that article on how China hid everything for nearly 2 months, and yeah...it starts to make more sense. They had a chance to ask for help & take it seriously & potential curtail the spread, the response, the loss of life, and the economic impact, and they didn't, and now the world is dealing with the consequences. This is an interesting article on that topic:

Apple is no different. They may have hundreds of billions of dollars in banks around the world but they also have well over a hundred billion dollars in debt. They aren't stupid enough to use cash for all their transactions.Yup, that's how the incentives are structured. It's amazing that any corporate place stays in business these days. Apple is one of the few who has a huge cash hoard & can ride out economic inconsistencies, but not many companies have anywhere near that level of a safety net built up, or even have a safety net period.
