If we did, we'd actually have an army. And a Prime Minister who wasn't just voted in because he had his father's last name and wanted to make weed legal.
Oh China's worried, just not the government for some braindead reason.

Speed of communication between individuals is the most powerful and important invention of mankind. The only people who really think it's bad are the governments, like China, who are pants-shitting terrified of their fuck ups being widely known. A hundred years ago, you could wipe a town of the map with a group of soldiers and deny it ever happened. Today all it takes is one cunt with a smartphone to show the world an atrocity.
People panic, people get scared. Doesn't make any difference compared to live tv updates or radio.

lowhy86 says the situation is much worse than is being shared. Gives on the ground reports.

it's about the nationality not the race, the white weaboos that live in china should be rounded up too, anyone that came from china within the last 2 weeks should be rounded up.

Yeah, race is irrelevant here. the only ones bring it up are autistic. If someone comes from a plague zone, quarantine. Easy peasy.

It also spreads panic and disinformation (intentional and otherwise) at breakneck speeds.
It's great that Bad Things(tm) can be quickly documented, exposed and disseminated, but that old expression about how fast lies can travel compared to the truth comes to mind.

i wasn't worried about the swine or bird flu and never freaked out about ebola even though everyone i knew did but this time as soon as i heard about it my stomach instantly twisted. my gut is telling me this is far worse than any situation before this.

If you're still worried, smoke more. Don't let the chinese fear get to you. Isn't smoke useful as disinfectant against bad spirit?

Are you talking about the internment of many ethnic Japaneses on the American mainland, which avoided the problem arising of collaboration of these Japanese with the nation of their people as occurred in the Pacific following the Pearl Harbor attack (c.f. Yoshio Harada)?
I mean it's no different from corporate media really, although arguably social media has made that situation even worse. c.f. the retards at CNN who posted that video from Knob Creek someone tweeted at them as 'Kurd on Turk' conflict.

Making the network of human civilization denser is great. Increases economic efficiency, prevents tyrannical governments from hiding things, gives the individual more information. Sure some people ruin themselves on it but they'd probably be fucked up anyway without it, just in a different way. The positives certainly outweigh the negatives.
For instance, without social media, we wouldn't easily be able to tell how much bullshit China was shovelling.

I know some people are feeling bad for, maybe, overreacting. I am too.
But, to be fair, a pandemic Spanish flu level virus that is being covered by the Chinese government vs a nothing burger flu that, although still something to be careful, won't be a big ideal, in the long run, outside of China were, and still are, virtually indistinguishable when we first heard the news.
And everyone was, and some still are, talking based on suppositions more than hard evidence.

The France, Canada, and Germany cases is why someone mentioned before that its not okay to pretend everything is 100% fine, that this will be 100% nothing. Yes, we survived the swine flu and so on. Yes, our immune systems are better than the Chinese. Yes, this has a chance to be a nothingburger but shit like this relies on human stupidity to fuck shit up for the worse.
AND this is a new strain with zero herd immunity. Even if this happens to be nothing, this will stay with us for possibly years, not helped by the antivaxers around.
Yet when I mention about that last detail to friends and such, I get handwaved with "reports are fearmongering", "we survived the swine flu, this can't be worse", "this is all a smokescreen by the government" and etc.
It is okay to be a bit worried and be prepared, but damn it, muffling it all wouldn't do any good. Calm down others from panicking too much, keep an watchful eye, have some ready materials; and if this happens to be nothing, laugh with each other at being 'too overreactional', but know that your materials and watchful demeanor is always ready for the next big thing.

We're still mostly not talking about hard evidence because there's barely any outside of the highly suspect source that is the Chinese government.

That’s true, though my point is that most people on social media liked either the glamour of this being a huge crisis ( like that Harvard professor) and others just wanted to be smug and brag how much everyone was freaking out, except them.
I agree, We are still a bit in the dark, but I’m saying I just don’t think being scared was irrational because a lot of the early signs did sound worrisome.
I personally can’t wait until we can get actual facts from trustworthy sources.

Has anyone got the statistics for 29/01? The only ones I'm coming across at the moment are from yesterday. I don't believe for a second that they've slowed down the virus, nor that it's plateaued out of nowhere having just overtaken the Sars virus.
