Holly fuck. The question was asked. And he has stated that they believe it IS infectious during incubation based on observations. And then he said some showed the most minor of symptoms - like a cough, and their diagnostic tests showed THEY ARE ABLE TO INFECT.

Buckle up, its gonna be a rocky night.

What does it say about the severity of the "administrative breach" that the Canadians swallowed their pride and forbid her from returning to China? Clearly just a simple administrative issue that led to her being unable to return to her home country of China. That's normal to be trapped in a foreign country over just a small issue with administrative mix-up.

Quite. The Canucks are playing it down in the public statements while also quietly acting as if it is extremely serious, because they know that this is exactly the sort of thing that will send people blind with rage and fear. Nobody however naive is going to believe there's no issue with agents of foreign governments working in top security jobs with deadly viruses, especially not ones with biowarfare connections.

Note the other guy who worked in that lab who was charged with smuggling ebola virus DNA over the US border was also an ethnic Chinese. One Mr. Yao? Coincidence? Now whether this guy was acting somehow on behalf of PRC or just trying to line his own pockets in line with the national character, who knows, but it speaks very poorly to both the hiring practices of the Canucks, their lab security that this guy could get ebola in any form out, AND the Chinese working in this sector. Espionage in this sector, which is surely what the woman in the main story was up to, is a matter of huge nationak security.

In a job with this level of importance, nobody with links to such a shady foreign government should be employed. They have relatives in the mainland? They're from there originally? Don't tell me they cannot be persuaded, bribed, heavily pressured or otherwise manipulated into doing whatever the PRC wants them to do, corporate or national security espionage included.

It's fun to giggle at Chinese stereotypes, but then the fuckers act like litteral locusts by stripping useful items off the shelves of their host countries to sell back to China.

I work in retail and we call them "diverters". They like to operate in states without sales tax, as well. Had a case a while ago where two people ordered 40 of the same limited edition MAC lipstick, leaving our store with 3 in stock for actual customers. Both going to the same address in Portland, OR--I googled it and it came up as a Chinese shipping company. Nothing we can even do about those types of orders in store because dotcom is supposed to check for fishy shit like that and cancel them, but they never do, and if we don't fulfill the orders we get, it counts against our numbers. Fuck the Chinese.

And meanwhile, the Chinese factories are also pumping out the fake MAC (and the fake HUDA, and the fake very other trendy indie brand) make-up filled with rat shit and animal hair, and and fuck knows what else to sell to naive marks in the western market on ebay and Amazon and such. Fuck the Chinese indeed. Flood the market with dangerous fakes to make money, then strip the shelves of the real thing in the countries they sell the fakes in because they cannot trust their own internal supply chains due to their own mendacity, greed and total lack of standards or basic decency/concern for other human beings in general because money is all they give a fuck about. You know some of the people buying up this shit are the ones who own the factories who make the fakes too.

And this is also why I hate LE Edition make-up. Because designed undersupply deliberately encourages the overbuying for reselling behavior generally, but that's another topic I guess.

This is why purchase restrictions are a good idea.

My company actually has a limit of 6 of the same item per shipping address, but they just let multiple orders go through anyway. Probably because we're hemorrhaging money and any sale is a sale to the execs these days. I had another similar case a few days ago where multiple orders of 6 of the same item were going to 3 different addresses on the same street... lo and behold they all belonged to the same Chinese company. This shit is one of the things killing brick and mortar retail stores, but it's too rayciss to talk about.

Buy what you normally use that has a decent shelf life; that you can rotate out as items get close to expiry dates. No point in buying a ton of pre-packaged stuff like MREs... you don't want to know what they' can do to your digestive tract at a time when your bunghole may be puckered already.

Make sure you buy choccie bars or other favorite snack items - social distancing & warning shots don't need to be totally grim affair.

Ooh my little sickly one, sickly one
When you gonna give me the buuuug, Corona

In all seriousness, I'm a fucking barmaid. The kind who gets hugged and touched by all the regulars. And touches saliva covered glasses all fucking day. I'm going to throw myself off a viaduct now, thanks cruel world.

Yeah you simply lose interest in the brand when they are so very fucking 'sought after' that you cannot get your hands on their items at all unless you are the kind of silly twat who pays four times over the odds on ebay. I don't buy these brands anymore myself for this reason and a few others. Make-up is not worth fighting over or paying stupid money for, ever. If ordinary customers aren't valued, or sacrificed to resellers, then fuck that brand. If MAC etc tolerate the Chinese hoarding and reselling so they can shrug and have ordinary domestic customers who just want the one item leave empty handed,, they can go out of business for all I care anymore.

The fact you can trace this stuff to the same Chinese company is just infuriating. Locusts indeed. I place them up there with ticket scalpers on the scumbag scale.

Listening to the press conference, I notice they're referring to TCM specialists being involved in the treatment. Fucking hell. Why not call in the witchdoctors too?

I live in Malaysia and my state itself has 4 ignorant chinks who jumped from China-Singapore-Malaysia for god knows why and how. Led to a whole wing of the hospital getting quarantined and this shit still happens.

I can't really verify if this video is from a legit Wuhan guy, but he has the correct accent and slang so I'm relatively :optimistic: . Doesn't paint a good picture for the CCP though.

And y'all are right, Mainland Chinese aren't really popular at all with Overseas Chinese, at least from my own point of view. I remember a chink just casually lighting up a ciggy in front of me in an air-conditioned 7-Eleven queue and berating the clerk who told him to stop being exceptional.

Just my two cents, hope this helped.

Edit: I nominate A Tout Le Monde for the Soundtrack.

Witch doctors would probably be more effective than popping pills made of tiger testicles.

Now would be the time for our beloved Otter doctor to say something. Because this is blowing up badly.
