Seriously, I'm sitting here in my house going on my 5th week other than occasionally walking my dogs and leaving for an hour once every 7-10 days to get groceries and these cocksuckers are out like zero fucks given?

Honestly, not even sure why I'm bothering isn't going to make an ounce of difference with all these idiots........

You're doing it to avoid seeing okami and spoon.ek9 in the hospital, where you'll be slipped an few extra NSAIDs in your med cup and be fed methane gas rather than oxygen.

We have too many entitled and irresponsible people who ruins it for everyone. Where are the tickets the city was supposed to be handing out?

Makes me wonder why people listen to idiots instead of facts... Maybe idiots can only understand other idiots? :considered:

^Hey retard, did you even bother watching the video? I'm guessing no.

I admit I fast forwarded to where she started talking, and the first thing I heard was "which is on par with the flu" so I instantly stopped.

If she was using that as an example of what the lowest form of idiots on earth say about this virus, then please let me know and I'll go back and watch it.

Otherwise, don't waste peoples time with this crap, go hang out in CiC's thread, I heard he's back.

We already went through this phase before the virus broke out in North America. Some guy saying he's a pharmacist who thought he knew everything based on his own personal opinions. You should know better now that opinions don't mean anything. Just look at the facts, and go from there. Learn from that guy's lesson LUL

I didn’t watch the whole video above but it’s not far fetched at all to believe these types of events are used to take away freedoms and enact laws and regulations that further restrict the freedoms of citizens and potentially add things like income tax etc that are never taken away after the fact when they are introduced as “emergency measures”


I see people say now isn’t the time for politics etc. I’d say it’s more important than ever.

Hopefully after all of this is over people realize arguing over fucking gender pronouns and shit like that isn’t important.

Slifer 04-19-2020 06:14 PM

^I suggest you rewatch the part on the video when she revealed a document written by the Rockerfeller foundation that essentially predicted everything that has happened up until now and it was written 10 years ago. Please don't tell me that is a coincidence. It could have been their plan all along..

Of course it's a common thing. Once the virus is taken care of (if that ever happens) we need to be careful that no rights are given up than necessary (for instance if it does NOT go away, we may need to change society in difficult ways)

But when someone says "on par with the flu" they get insta-banned from my mind LUL

Not using that to discredit the video, but if someone starts out with idiotic statements like that, they are not going to earn my attention for whatever else they have to say. Because more likely than not, it comes from a place of sheer ignorance and stupidity. Maybe she got to a good point eventually though.

Also if someone isn't blaming the "Rockerfellers" it's going to be some other group (usually Jewish) that the nutjobs love to use for their weird conspiracy theories.

IMO start a new thread for this kind of stuff, this thread should be saved for useful, factual information and news.

Slifer 04-19-2020 06:20 PM

^Not gonna bother arguing with idiots like you who can't even stop for a minute to think whether it's possible. The video is not intended for sheeps like you. Move along.. back into the barn

SkinnyPupp 04-19-2020 06:26 PM

The other thing they do is call people "sheep" EleGiggle

You're right, it's more for sheeps like this

Yup, continue to make fun of people who doesn't share the same opinion as you. A very typical response from you. Anyone who doesn't agree with you are all idiots. You're the cancer of Revscene. Serious question, did you get bullied in highschool? Is that why you're acting this way? Please go see a shrink after the pandemic is over. You need help.

SkinnyPupp 04-19-2020 06:54 PM

I didn't even share my opinion :rukidding:

Quit attacking people in this thread. You already disrupted it for an entire page with whacky conspiracy theories. Let's just leave it at that.

Slifer 04-19-2020 06:55 PM

Lol funny, YOU'RE the one who instigated it..

SkinnyPupp 04-19-2020 07:04 PM

I admit I jumped to conclusions based on her calling this "on par with the flu" which only idiots believe. I'll say now that I don't think you're an idiot for simply sharing that video, without knowing your intentions of sharing it. You could have been making fun of it for all I knew.

Anyway, this thread isn't the place for it, so again, let's just move on from it.

SkinnyPupp 04-19-2020 07:28 PM

Let's get back to sharing facts, and how different countries are approaching this differently.

Here's another anecdotal take on the situation in Japan

I don’t think posting a screenshot of some random data which probably has more to do with total population then anything else is good critical thinking. I’m not saying Sweden is right or wrong, but keeping an eye on their data is a great way to keep a realistic view and keep your own confirmation bias at bay.

Here is what I believe to be the same chart with some random countries I picked off the list. It’s a bit nonsense. If you change the dates, it can be skewed to look dramatic or fairly mild. It just requires a bit of a critical eye. I think everyone needs to be doing that before they start running for the hills in fear or starting protesting at anti isolation rallies.

Interesting thing with the shot I posted is Sweden has about 1/4 the population as us Canadians... curious what the next couple weeks will show.

MG1 04-19-2020 08:56 PM

I tuned out as soon as I heard,

god bless......... at the end.

Sorry if it wasn't made clear enough in the tweet, but the intention of the chart is not "random countries" but rather comparing the nordic countries, with Korea added as the "best case scenario" of a country handling it. What you do with that data is up to you, but the point being made is that compared to other nordic countries, Sweden's govt took a different approach, not enforcing any sort of stay-home measures, no shut down of non-essential businesses, etc. Everything is just "suggested"

Of course if you compare it to Spain or USA or Italy, it's not going to look the same. But THAT would be comparing "random countries" rather than trying to make any kind of comparison. The only point of that would be to make a fallacious argument in order to discredit any other points being made, but I'm not sure why you'd want to do that... You literally said you came up with a "nonsense" chart... so what reason is there to even consider it?

If you actually wanted to argue against it, you might have brought up the Netherlands, which has WAY more deaths and has had strict social distancing measures in place since late March. Yes, I'll destroy my own post if I learn more info LUL Just saying, this is the way to do it, not logical fallacy. Maybe we can learn more instead? So if Sweden's relatively high rate of death can be explained through lack of strict controls, what explains Netherlands? Maybe late March was simply too late, and things are going to get even worse in Sweden eventually? They already have more deaths per million than USA

Been on a hiatus from this thread for a while to let things run a bit. Things turned out exactly as I predicted. Millions of jobs lost worldwide. Trillions of dollars wasted and trillions in GDP lost worldwide just to prevent potentially hundreds of thousands of mainly elderly deaths.

Do the math. We refuse to spend hundreds of thousands per patient on novel cancer treatments but we're willing to spend millions per patient and put millions into poverty to prevent deaths of people who are honestly probably going to die within the next 5 years.

There's a reason why most medical workers aren't good administrators. Every life is priceless to them, but in reality there is a price to every life.

So kudos to Sweden for not bowing to the fearmongerers pulling out their projections where everyone is going to be infected and 10% of the population is gonna die. Everyone knows social distancing saves lives. No shit, but at what cost.

Yes healthcare workers can be on their high horse telling people to isolate and do their part. That's cause their livelihood isn't on the line. They don't have to worry about putting food on the table, paying their mortgages etc. Sure they're putting their lives on the line, but don't firemen, policemen, search and rescue people do that too?
