That's a good assessment of what happened in NYC at the beginning although its too kind to Cuomo. Also interesting is the relationship between Breed and Newsom which allowed for a more coordinated response.

It really seems to be. The promotion of Agenda 2030 policies through wuflu (such as restricting travel into the outdoors) is ramping up hard.

Went out last night to popular local Italian place here in central FL. It was at capacity 10 minutes after opening. Nobody, not even what we could see behind the counter (albeit not into the kitchen) was wearing a mask or gloves. Server was like, I can put one on if you want. We looked around and like...nah if we cared about that the logical thing to do would've been to walk out immediately.
Also, and this is huge...drove past a big Bingo parlor and it was wrapped the fuck up. Can’t see inside but only old people go there so it had to be packed with them.

This is a good article. Outsourcing so much that is critical is a terrible idea. Here as well we couldn’t buy paracetamol for weeks - it’s only just coming back into stores now. We’ve run down our previous stockpiles, and we’ve outsourced everything to countries that either have their own issues or are outright hostile.
there’s also the matter, not discussed in that article, about how public health authorities have been disbanded, merged or just defanged. Back in the day, vets used to inspect abbatoirs- now it’s environmental health (Who are skilled but not vets) , and places like halal slaughterhouses are permitted and nobody dares take them to task. public health bodies have been encouraged to turn their attention to lifestyle diseases and stuff like LGBTABCDEFG issues.
so not only have we lost the ability to produce essential goods, and create essential medicines, we’ve lost the expertise and organisation to deal with pandemics and public health in a rational way.
It’s worrying.
Seriously, if things aren't normal here in MA by August I'm pulling a Tarrant at the state house in Minecraft.

Welp time to answer your off topic rants. And get autism and dumb ratings for it. Yay.
Now. Not ALL the climate change industry is a scam. CO2 definitely does make the climate go apeshit by warming the atmosphere. And some segments of scientific community, specially most of it here in europe, have stayed honest when dealing with it. (NOTE: MOST. NOT ALL.) Issue is politicians reward coreuption. Most obvious example being france's climate change "experts", that fucking cesspit of scum and villany.
Shit is. If you saw how Costa del Sol is farring you'd see. Up until like half a decade ago we didn't even have mist. Now it's here every year. Every year our spring brings forth bigger storms. This years' was fucking insane! If shit keeps going down this way we're gonna have a typhoon season like the fucking caribean. So climate change? Definitely a thing.
Now of course then comes the thing about human influence. We do have SOME influence. I mean every emission by definition counts. But most of the human effect comes from the third world (specially india and china) and even then, well, animals exist. And breathing is a thing. So CO2 change would be hard to control even without fossil fuels.
I'd say the most obvious factor in CO2 accumulation is actually deforestation. Plants eat CO2. We hsve less and less plants with time. And Bolsonaro sure as shit can't be trusted to keep the Amazon alive so it's damned time we start thinking how we get a new lung 'cause that one's collapsing!
So I'd say plantation efforts will be the biggest game changer, not emission reduction. But there is one even larger weapon in our arsenal: bioengineering. Plants after all like it or not take a lot of space. But if you can get one large hydroponics plant filled with bioengineered photosynthetic organisms, you can do the same job as the amazon forest in a volume as small as a single skyscrapper. You'd think this is crazy future tech but in fact "superplants" and bioengineered CO2 anihilators already exist and we could be doing it right now. Furthermore. Even without bioengineering "carbon capture" atmospheric filtration plants already exist and can give us liquid CO2 which has industrial applications. So. Yeah... We're already fighting the good fight there. And if those efforts keep building up not only will we manage to reverse climate change, we can start directly controlling carbon accumulation for the foreseeable future in a way that's PROFITABLE to boot! Win win I'd say.
Furthermore. Most deforestation comes from increasing farms size. So why exactly are we not only not redoubling our efforts to make them as profitable as possible per square area through technomogy but our politicians are indeed favoting "organic" farms that take the widest area for the least production with no tangible benefit whatsoever? Now that sounds like the opposite of what we should be doing. Doesn't it? So why are we NOT doing that as much as we honestly should? And why are we not redoubling plantation efforts in 1st world countries when that can also increase our GDP as natural reserves are quite good for tourism and tend to increase living conditions by controling regional atmospheric variables? Oh you know exactly why. For now all our politicians care about is that CO2 taxes make a lot of fucking money and that so long as biotech is fought against france and the so called "organic" farmers don't have to worry about other countries destroying their economic model for good once and for all. That's fucking why. Which is why spain seems to be the only european country that cares about this shit and fucking hilariously enough good ol' 'straya is doing the most practical advancements in CO2 combating. And THAT is where the fucking scam is. It's about time we call out the so called ecologists for tying our hands and stealing our weapons in the fight against climate change.
People need to learn to make a fuss faster. Stop being polite damnit! Before I thought spain was lucky that every time someone did something stupid shit over here seems to hit the fan at record speeds. 1 province decides to be lax on their regulation of meat packing plants for profit? One plant instantly fucks up and causes an outbreak and they are punished for it, being forced to go back to being as strict as ever. Illa decides to ignore ISCIII's advice? Immediate memeing as he says something outrageously stupid. Madrid reduces the nursing homes to glorified death wards? Corona cleanses them. The junta tries to launder money through los Pascuales? Heads are already rolling. Rajoi cuts healthcare up? Immediate hospital collapse. Etc.
But what I'm realizing more and more is, shit hits the fan just as much there too. Your old folks homes were just as bad as ours, if anything at least we fixed them now while yours keep being culled over time. Your meat plants aren't better than ours, they're laxer. I mean at least your conservative party hasn't tried butchering the NHS and I have heard little from british corruption. But ither than that, shit hits the fan just as fast in bongland as it does here in the autism peninsula. So, really, my conclusion is: You gotta stop being polite. you brits pride yourself on your manners. Well you know what? Fuck manners. Have you ever had your king quit? No? Well maybe you should every once in a while! Not all kings can be good after all. Just. If you learn nothing more from this, learn this. Like the all guardsman party said. Everyone above the rank of sargeant is an idiot, evil or insane. Probably all 3. You can't treat them like responsible adults. You gotta explain shit like their toddlers and expect them to fuck up anyway. Because they will. Repeatedly. Until they can't take the punishment anymore. Dealing with your boss, specially when it comes to guvernmental stuff, with respect isn't polite, it's retarded. And any and all issues caused by them should be treated with utmost prejudice. They're not gonna do better if you don't make them. That's just how it is. So stop trying to keep them happy, if they're happy they get cocky and complacent, and that's the worst thing they could be!

There will never be a vaccine. It's a Coronavirus. It mutates wildly and rapidly. There will never be a vaccine. This is a false hope to get people accepting of the "new normal" which is eternal authoritarianism.

This is why I disallow the concept of new normals in my presence. The new normal is the same as the old normal, just with more death from COVID-19 and, depending upon where you are, a devastated economy it’ll take a decade or more to improve. I do not want to hear about new normals. You told me flattening the curve was the goal, not zero deaths or zero new infections or whatever. I am willing to have us watch the curve and make voluntary adjustments based upon movement, and am happy to have nursing homes operate under a great deal of restriction. But that’s it. That‘s the only change, going forward, that can be accepted as permanent, and therefore normal.

haven't been keeping up with the thread. but this whole thing really shows how few people give a fuck. Most of the people i know who were mocking the protesters 2 weeks ago were at house parties and beach parties and tailgates this weekend. The fact that most people in metropolitan areas already know not to call cops on their neighbors really makes this whole quarantine so ineffective.
I just listened to bastard radio (a podcast with two white faggots and a regular rican) and it was like nails on a chalkboard hearing the rican try to get it through their fucking skulls that once places start opening up people would just act like its February again. As white people the fags genuinely follow the laws and like all good 90s educated tards believe everyone else does too, and that minorities are just palate swapped white people.
He was literally looking out the window seeing people chilling in the street and they mocked him for thinking that NYC's streets aren't as underpopulated as fallout 4 right now. I've worked in enough restaurants to know no ones doing a fucking head count. And considering how much spit and air people expel while eating the fact that restaurants are even open should prove how useless the masks are.
Everyone is talking about white flight happening in the next couple years because of this virus too. again i have a hard time believing that, just based on the sort of tards that are currently in these places, this virus isn't going to spur them to move away so much as a lateral move. people moving from queens to brooklyn, from east to west la, from dupont circle to fairfax. or people moving from pasadena to austin. no one who is used to city life is deciding "suburbs are better" and even the idiots who make that case aren't following through, its amazing how many of these podcasters are full of shit once you get to know them.
I don't know how fucked the recession is either, i hear about how many people are unemployed and getting checks but that doesn't include the independent contractors and people making money under the table.
Overall though i'm proud coronachan is fistfucking the last half century of academic thought. LA should look like San Andreas right now according to them, it should be GTA all over the World because of how poor and desperate people are and that isn't happening. Same thing with carbon output and factories and all sort of other shit.
if places aren't going bankrupt in the next month, then its all an upswing from here. Also can we talk about the lack of a 2nd wave? people keep saying its coming up but even china isn't shutting everything down yet, they just had a huge week long holiday 2 weeks ago and this week should be when we start seeing a surge in cases in china if its actually going to be coming back, but it won't.
I'm still not buying the temperature thing either considering the two places fucked hardest from this was italy and spain, but on the off-chance that wasn't bullshit. We'll see a 2nd wave hit or at least stories about it close to halloween. the beginning of october china has another week long holiday and once that finishes up we also get day of the race in latin america in the middle of october so the media will scare us halloween week and depending on the facts we'll start seeing everything shut down in november or people realizing its a nothingburger

Why is staying at home for a few weeks such a problem? Why is it that all of a sudden everyone has a raging urge to travel when they barely left their municipality before? Strict quarantine laws worked for the countries that implemented them. I feel so fucking annoyed at the general disregard the representatives of some countries are showing. You can't just say "the number of infected is starting to drop so we're just gonna open everything up again without any consequences and pretend like nothing major happened", then act surprised when the number of cases skyrockets again.
Just stay home until it blows over, please.
My country borders a hotspot. When shit hit the fan, we closed everything down within a week and stayed at home for 8 weeks. Some people protested the stay at home order, but a great majority were smart enough to stay fucking home. It's a small country, but I have to emphasise the outbreak lasted only 2 months, only 1.5k people were infected and only 100 of them died. We're currently reopening schools for hs graduates and children under the age of 10, also public libraries and bars/restaurants.
Just stay home until it blows over, please.

Fun fact: Denmark doesn't want to open the border to Swedes because of the infection risk, but because Sweden hasn't closed its border and Danes coming back from Sweden apparently don't get quarantined (unlike the other Nordic countries), they're free to come and go however they like. So here in the south we've recently started to see a lot of bloody Danes coming to do week-end shopping while most of Copenhagen is still closed down.

Welp. It's been over 2 months since the self-quarantine has started....
And I still think that it's just the flu. It's a cough. It's merely only a slight wheeze that kills the weakest of bodies.

Not so much quit, more of a forcible firing. It didn’t work out terribly well the last time it happened, although I hear the restoration was a lot of fun.
the Brits are polite but we don’t like certain types of corruption. We of course have corruption just like everyone else, but the media (especially the good old gutter press) will mercilessly go after anyone corrupt.
where we fail is the same places everyone has - this slow creep, the slow changing of goalposts and slow slide towards the bottom. We see it everywhere. But it’s happened because people are comfortable. People go on about 1984 but the better comparison is brave new world. It’s not a jackboot on our necks, because if you repress and push people enough they will push back. It’s the tyranny of comfort. If people are comfy, fat, and stupified by social media, shit TV etc, they just can’t be arsed rebelling. Bread and circuses.
Once you start removing that comfort, you have problems. If the soma, TV, shiny gadgets stop flowing and if people can’t feed their families - that’s when people will revolt.

Most people can't afford to stay home for prolonged periods. The government can't afford to pay them to stay at home for long periods. The only people who can really afford this for any length of time are the terminally unemployed, unfireable government employees, the idle rich, and prepper lunatics like me.
