Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

[mold]

ok maybe this is a stupid question

but if the goal is depopulation, why not release a virus that actually kills people

 

[KifflomKween]

Update on the college situation: I've decided to go with the PCR test strategy where I take the test, show it for the first days, and then hope no one asks me again.

Or at least that was the plan. Some time ago they sent an email saying that they'd require the certificate just for attending classes, today I got another email saying that to enter the university at all you also need the certificate. What is this bullshit? My friend told me that the way things are it's very likely that there will be another lockdown and that the classes at our faculty would be mostly online as almost no one goes when theres that option.

Damn im so bummed out. I also got news that to go to big malls you also need the certificate, starting next month.

You can't fully control how a virus will act when in the wild.

Good news and bad news in my state:
- Good news is the concert was not cancelled, there were probably 300 people there, and once we were inside no one wore masks except the absolute nerdiest motherfuckers. Like unioronic blue hairs and girls dressed like anime schoolgirls were the only ones masked. The workers were total Nazis on the way in but lost the battle quickly. It was almost like old times, everyone crammed in, jumping around and having a good time. Based stuff.

- Bad news, the local fall festivals are being canceled. Not by the city or anything, but the fucking people running them. It's the biggest pussy move I've ever seen. One organization already took money for a sports tournament and announced you can either "donate" your registration fees OR get 20% back. Fucking scam alert!

The local fair is still going on and I intend to go, even if they try to enforce masks. I just won't wear one. I encourage everyone to participate in local events, it shows that there's money to be made and people are still willing and excited to have things to do. Go to your fairs, concerts, bars and restaurants. We need to prove there's more of us out there by being seen. Do not wear a mask, have a good time, ignore the forced doom and gloom.

What.

Things have gotten so weird, there are definitely two Americas at this point. I was at this show two weeks ago:

Not a mask in sight. And yet somehow bodies aren't piling up in the streets. But if you go to the grocery stores in the same city 100% of people have the face diaper on eyeing each other with suspicion and fear. It's utterly bizarre.

Now you can't even sneeze or cough in public without getting stares. It's ridiculous.

Except that the places with the worst mandates are filled with true believers and ready and eager collaborators. I don't even think the absolute worst will change their minds because of pride and they feel the undesirables would finally be dealt with.

I mean like how even in California you'll find county sheriffs who just say "fuck this shit, we don't care" and people won't wear masks. I've heard it's like that in Oregon outside of Portland, Eastern Washington, most of Upstate New York, etc.

How long before we hear of people just killing themselves to avoid being forced to take the vaccine and going through things like lockdowns and checkpoints?

Hopefully never, I'd rather anyone who kills themselves over the vaccine make it a murder-suicide.

 

[mdrop22]

And then you hear about the checkpoints of requiring vaccinations or negative tests.

Are you implying going out and doing things without a mask/vax will lead to checkpoints or that they already exist so you can't do anything anyway? Because the vast majority of the US has no vax requirements for anything. I'm in a blue state and not even the grocery stores are requiring anything. The only hellholes where you need to show proof are big liberal cities. If you live in one, God bless you, you're gonna need it. COVID would be the least of my worries, I'd be focused on getting out.

Either way I'm doing what I can when I can. Don't give a shit. Im not wasting my life or passing up opportunities because someone might scold me publicly. I'm basically an outcast already, social pressure doesn't work and hasn't for a while.

A vaccine that fundamentally alters how people live, along with a scamdemic which does the same is way more effective. A virus could kill indiscriminately. A vaccine where its easy to give placebos to those deemed necessary to live is safer for those planning it.

A virus which actually kills thousands and then some could kill anyone and is an unknown factor because of mutation and so on.


They want controlled chaos they can control, not actual chaos.

I can confirm, in most of the non-NYC parts of New York, most people have just stopped caring. 1/10 up to 3/10 of people will wear masks depending, but for the most part things are "back to normal" excepy for things like school mandates and the like.

I live in a hellhole and people only care as much as the gestapo forces them to.

How long they'll be able to control chaos before it goes out of control?

Btw, Kayne West latest move might piss off The Offspring. https://www.westernjournal.com/kany...site&utm_medium=aggregator10&utm_campaign=can

Rapper Kanye West is many, many, many things, but a conformist he most certainly is not.

The entertainer is holding a second listening party for his forthcoming album, “Donda,” named for his late mother, and while the music world is mostly abuzz with the apparent delay of the album’s formal release, the event has captured headlines for a different reason.

And no, it’s not the reported replica of his childhood home that’s been constructed in Chicago’s Soldier Field for the occasion, although that’s got tongues wagging, too, as the New York Post reported.

The venue will not be requiring fans to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test to attend.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, protocols at Soldier Field will be in line with city of Chicago rules that require masks “in all public indoor spaces (clubs, suite hallways, elevators, etc.) of the stadium except while actively eating and drinking.” Masks in outdoor areas are optional, but recommended for those who are not vaccinated.

Panic. Uncontrolled riots. Work refusal.

Whenever they start cracking down on major corporations for not enforcing vaccine passports hard enough, since the wagie at the door of the grocery store will almost always not give a fuck. People kill over food. Either that, or when people start getting massive insurance hikes or other fines for not taking the vaxx--that'll probably come before they go door to door vaxxing people (Twitter and Reddit apparently want that, and I'd love to see them try).

Although Australia is looking like it's headed that way if they keep it up much longer, since they failed to follow the frog-boiling strategy the rest of the world is using, they've decided they can go from "mild" authoritarianism to hardcore totalitarianism in an instant. It's easier to shift the goalposts from "just two weeks" to "just wear a mask" to "just take the vaccine" to "just wear two masks, take a booster shot every 4 months, and present your vaccine papers" and leave your ineffectual opponents like the average Republican politician constantly swatting at the latest decrees from The Science rather than calling out the pandemic as absolute nonsense.

I'm excited to see where they go next. I wonder if the mass firings from vaccine mandates will mean they'll try and draw down the stay on evictions and other scamdemic welfare measures that for whatever reason still persist? Because it's going to be hilarious to see these major corporations squirm from having even less workers, and doubly hilarious if the clowns in the White House decides the best way to give those corporations their workers is to turn out the deadbeats from their eviction stay in December as a Christmas gift. I could honestly see this administration doing that, they are torn between countless interest groups who all seem equally exceptional that they might not raise a finger when the Supreme Court starts hearing cases again in October, or not raise a finger for long.

Eh, from what I’ve heard the corporations will be fine. I heard when lockdowns were at their peak, Amazon saw record profits, so we’re more likely to see Demolition Man become reality.

I want a damn good rat burger, what a lot of people don't know is that "demolition man" is based on a book written by a polish Hungarian author and his experience with communism, that's why even the movie seems to have "called it" so damn well, as it's something that has already happened before.

Edit: Based Cheeto helped me remember the book, Holtak harca (Fight of the Dead). The movie was 75% the same as the book.

 

[mold]

You leave Eugene or Portland and it's like none of it is happening. No BLM signs, no rainbow flags, no masks.

I guess you'd see the same thing if you left Salem, but you'd have to have gone to Salem, and I can't think of any reason that would happen.

Do you know the name of this book? Maybe you're confusing something else with this:

Hungarian science fiction writer István Nemere says that most of Demolition Man is based on his novel Holtak harca (Fight of the Dead), published in 1986. In the novel, a terrorist and his enemy, a counter-terrorism soldier, are cryogenically frozen and awakened in the 22nd century to find violence has been purged from society. Nemere claimed that a copyright office committee judged that the film was a 75% match to the book. He did not file a lawsuit, as it would have been too expensive for him to hire a lawyer and fight against major Hollywood forces in the United States.

i dont see people really rising up in Australia, when they get to the point where a cop/judge or his family gets shot in the head in broad daylight and no one saw who did it like the mob used to be able to do then you can start to worry about an uprising.

I remember a story up in Rochester, one of Peter dimico's men was able to install a car bomb on a judge's car while the judge and his family were having dinner at the Atlantic on a busy friday night. the cops didn't even bother filing a report, because people understood they had more to lose complying with the law rather than disobeying. If Australia was really going to start hitting back against these restrictions you'd see it in way more videos of cops being mistreated especially on individual patrols. its one thing for cops to be attacked by protestors/rioters but its during the day to day that you'll see where the average person really stands.
