Not just that, but trust in government and law enforcement has been damaged, perhaps irreparably, by the Nazi tactics they have used. Putting entire states on house arrest? Stupid. Not rationalizing house arrests once patterns of cases are apparent? Stupid. Forcing millions to go without work, when these Nazi wannabes never miss a paycheck? Criminal.
I've got the feeling that many of these lockdowns were from normies who saw what happened to Italy and went full doomsperg. Why the hell areas with 0 deaths and only a few known cases got locked down is beyond me. Did every government in the world loose their NBC programs at the same time? Or are there that many governments that take China's word that they won't violate the Geneva convention?
I don't see any other government other than MAYBE Russia getting treated like this if they happened to unleash a global pandemic due to idioticy/stupidity/malice. At this point, governments should be looking into ALL Chinese assets and ties, and thinking about repatriating land, buisness and IP as compensation for having to completely shut down economies.
I'm not smart enough to be an economic guru, or an advisor to a President, or know how to sequence and analyze proteins. I am, however, smart enough to know just why life has been fucked up for the last few months.
Fuck you, China. Dr. Li Wenliang is going to be remembered as the doctor who was killed so that China could spread the Wuhan Virus to the entire fucking world. I refuse to use a different naming convention than the one we have for the last 100 years. It came from Wuhan, its the Wuhan Virus. That is the LEAST racist, most accurate way to name this Chinese virus. I prefer Kung Flu or the Wuflu, but another one could be "Xinnie the Pooh's Deadly Coof." Is that less racist for you?
Tomorrow is the last day of business lockdown here in Austin. I'm going to the bar Friday night and supporting my local businesses. Can't fucking wait.
At this point, I think this is going to be the general populations concensus. I highly doubt many other Americans will cooperate with continued lockdown as counties and states reopen.
