Japan, IOC Jostle Over Who Will Pay Billions To Delay 2020 Olympics Over Coronavirus / archive.li/BeTZn
National Stadium in Tokyo.jpg

Don't know if stories like this belong in this thread anymore but here is more info on impact of the 2020 Olympics delay. It's unfortunate that an event of this rare nature where hard work, endurance, and good sportsmanship which transcends national boundaries in the spirit of universal brotherhood has been reduced to arguing over who will pay for it all.
 
Another thing to consider is if this goes on--or we open, get a second wave and shut down again--are you better off trying to go back to your old job and/or subsist on unemployment? Or get an essential job now if you can?

Imagine 2 years from now, if we're still locked down, dependent on the govt for handouts and breadlines. The lowly Walmart shelf-stocker or delivery driver will be an Elite Citizen, with first pick of food and supplies for themselves, their family and friends. They will also be one of the few with a precious letter allowing them some freedom of movement.
 
LOL-NY Gov asked what happens if businesses don't reopen and people don't get unemployment and can't feed their families.

He says if they work they will infect people and people will die which is worse than not being able to pay bills or eat.

Reporter asks "what if they kill themselves because they have no money." He says that's their choice, but not their choice to kill someone else. And if they have no money just get an essential job which is somehow safer.

What a fucking world.

What the fuck? Honestly I m starting to miss Obama he could answer those questions with so much better tack.

That response just show contempt for people not just people but poor people or soon to be poor people

Obama is cut from the same cloth, he just has better delivery.

Let's all remember his administration literally sent money to the Wuhan Institute for Virology

You know last year there was a huge push for the concept of climate change and reducing CO2 emissions globally and what do you know a year later emissions are at a record low to the point where the oil historically crashed. Anyone think this could have been a plan to reduce the global CO2? Hype up a relatively mild virus to the status of death plague to keep the carbon emissions in check? TBH it seems like an effective way to do it I can't really think of any other scenario that would work as well as hyping up a reletivley mild virus to stifle global CO2 emissions. Ask yourself a year ago if cutting CO2 worldwide would be possible and I bet many of you would say no it wouldn't be possible yet here we are. Just a crackpot theory of mine.
 
I have wondered what makes it manifest as a mild or annoying cold in some and and an all hands on deck emergency in others.
I do t think anyone knows. Asymptomatic carriers are a thing for a lot of pathogens both bacterial and viral. Flu for example also has asymptomatic carriers. It’s not quite the same as being resistant to something - these people are infected and they are shedding virus. I’m not sure if anyone has quantified how much virus asymptomatic people shed with corona? With flu it varies depending on strain. Sometimes it’s not much different to those with a visible infection and other times it’s orders of magnitude lower.
Then there’s the strain you get - not all strains are any different in effects but some may be. Then viral load - it does seem that the initial amount you’re exposed to has an effect. Then what you have antibodies to from previous infections. Your individual genetics - some alleles will predispose to certain things and others protect. Your age and your general health, levels of inflammation, your sex, all sorts of stuff.
There are a lot of factors and they will all interact - once you have more than a few it becomes a bit of a three body problem and very complex.

I suspect there’s going to be more money for researching it in the next few years...

Kind of dumb to suggest everyone who is prevented from working could get a job as an essential worker. In fact, the whole thing is dumb.

Oddly enough if you look at the comments on Raw Story the consensus is that Cuomo was right and pwned the reporter with facts and logic but on Youtube, the response is that he's a horrifically bad leader and should go.

The people committing suicide(already happening), being murdered(already happening), starving , going homeless are all a LOT younger than the people dying of the virus.

Apparently the lives of young people are worth less than retired boomers or fucking geriatrics rotting in nursing homes. And Cuomo is open about thinking that.

What a sick society we live in.

Ya, that's fucked up. The young people are the future. If it comes to a scarcity of resources, time to do an intelligent triage, considering age, employment, and family situation, to decide who gets treated. Go case by case. One size never fits all. Believe we are pretty much past that here, least as far as ChiCom Flu treatment.

Scumbag Cuomo's just trolling for votes. Older people vote rather more than younger people. If younger people voted in the numbers they could, Cuomo would be all for letting older people bite the bag in favor of younger people. Cuomo's just another fucking politician on a power trip. He can go eat me.

Ah yes, working in tech I sure do want to go out there and take a huge paycut on what I was making before to do an "essential job", whatever the fuck that entails to our Democrat pol masters.

Get fucked you demonic looking wop.

Cuomo is an asshole from a family of assholes. I hope he gets the coof so bad that he's on a vent for life. This POS has fucked up the unemployment benefits for New Yorkers to the point we won't see a penny until next year, that's how backlogged it is. Fuck him and his shitty family, especially Fredo.

The problem with it being any kind of conspiracy is you'd need both sides to be on board. That Pelosi, AOC and the TDS crowd to work hand in hand with Trump and cover for each other on the worst crime in history that they are all complicit on. And that's just the US. Iran, North Korea, Russia, every small African nation, the UN, the WHO, the first world western nations--and every political faction in power in those nations and organizations--would have to work togther and keep quiet.

If they had that much control and power, why even go through a virus? They've already won.

I suppose it was inevitable that the "Open everything now, let God sort them out" crazies would have equivalents on the other end of the spectrum. In a sane world this would put an end to the President Cuomo circle jerk, but I think we all know better.

The funny thing is most of the people in the risk groups don't even work anyway. You could order them to stay home and it wouldn't disrupt their lives that much. You could even give the few who still work in their 60s a pass to miss work.

Don't most young leftists despise old people for being white and voting conservative anyway? This is a perfect example of olds exercising their voting power to protect themselves at the expense of the young and even the whole country.
yet they're saying nothing.

And who is providing heroic healthcare for Esther, so she can go back to her nursing home for another year? Younger folks!

I doubt their morale will stay high for long as they continue to see their own personal lives destroyed by all this BS.
