hi-revs 02-05-2020 05:43 PM

I hear that the Uighurs concentration camps have dozens infected with coronavirus, but china isnt directing much, if any, resources to those parts of china.
Feel so bad for all those locked up for the sake of being taken from families. But to contain them in a coronavirus cesspool with inadequate medical attention...... fuck you china.

Do you have a Hazmat suit? No ... then a jug over your head with a couple of breathing holes should do.

Should join the fight and start coughing and said you just came back from WuHan. They will run for the exit.

"I need a mask please! I'm sick! I don't want to infect anyone! *cough**cough*“

Question to all:

1. People coming back from Hong Kong to Vancouver. Are they required to self isolate themselves or quarantine themselves for 14 days?

2. People coming back from other airports in China (ex. Shanghai) to Vancouver. Are they required to self isolate themselves or quarantine themselves for 14 days?

There's no requirement of anything, but if I were that person, I'd simply do it out of precaution of anyone around me like co-worker and whatnot. Heck, I'd probably just make a temporary tent in the shed so I don't have to be with my kids.

I’m starting to get pissed off every fucking day I wake period

This virus is causing ppl fear, but personally it’s a little too much that I’m getting pissed off and edgy in a way I wanna punch the crap out of someone for their stupidity

I live in Guangzhou and my daily routine is survival, I go to my local wet market to buy overpriced veggies everyday in morning cuz if not by the afternoon it’s all gone cuz there few stalls of scumbags open

Everyday I’m at home doing nothing cuz the government is scared so they don’t let any business that would have crowded ppl open

So ppl are back to work with fear but they are barely working.......while for me I can’t work because none of my distributor our working

Public transit now runs every 30mins and supermarkets are all closed early (I don’t even live near a big name supermarket)

Just last night I got kicked out of a restaurant (the only one opened late at night) cuz the jackass of a waiter doesn’t know their shitty thermometer is broke, my friend check in fine but when it was my turn, they told me to hold back

Recheck me again and it was the same, then ask to check my friend again and he was high all of a sudden, waiter kicked me out by saying I could be a hazardous

I’m pretty fucking mad at this point cuz I just walked in with 2 military looking guys checked in with their thermostat at the entrance checkpoint but now after a 15 sec walk I’m high all of a sudden

I demanded him to check other random ppl that have been checked (he Refused cuz it would cause fear) and few others already eating were a bit high but it didn’t matter since waiter wouldn’t admit their thermometer is broke

This is all cause by Ignorance, since they didn’t learn jack shit from sars and still continue to buy wild animals to eat from places with dirty non clean environments

ilovebacon 02-05-2020 10:24 PM

Could this be fake news?


An interesting video

Go ahead and complain about the inconvenience while they try to prevent the world's greatest epidemic of all time outside your door.

Better to be mad than dead I guess...

Edit: This may have came off worse than intended, so I'll just say that yeah it sucks when we have to be inconvenienced like this, especially when it's due to someone just being stupid or not doing things right. But think about how serious this issue is, and it might be easier to let this stuff pass. This is not a situation where we can live our lives normally. Not for now, and for some, maybe never again.

There are tons of things to complain about with regards to how bad this has gotten due to incompetence, corruption, etc. We might not even be here if they didn't try to cover it up instead of acting immediately.

But here we are, and we're going to have to deal with some shit. Oh and it hasn't really even started yet, so get used to it.

And for every restaurant that turns you down, think about all the people stuck in locked down cities, or the ones who are dying, family members, pets, etc. All because someone didn't want to "lose face" and deal with a serious but "embarrassing" issue.

This is a really serious thing, it doesn't matter if you have to get your veggies early.

I recently flied back to YVR from TPE, everyone on the flight was wearing a mask except the flight attendants. There were lots of hand sanitizing stations at YVR, but the only screening measure I saw was 1 question at the kiosks asking if I've been to Wuhan in the past 14 days. Answered no and walked right passed the CBSA officers.

twitchyzero 02-05-2020 11:57 PM

restaurant is private property

must be annoying having a waiter take your temps but they have every right to refuse service

cases and deaths are piling exponentially after all

6793026 02-06-2020 12:21 AM

i'm in Yellowknife right now and mask here are sold out also. F-ed up.

Chinese people are worried as shit and they are wearing them. Some tour guides are wearing them to protect them from bringing it to other clients.
1st thing they say "why are you wearing a mask? None of us are infected".. ahahahahah OK,I guess I'm going to take your word now.

BC Geoduck + crab are having issues on too much supply. Staff at dim sum places (where my bro works) got laid off until further notice at the one above TD bank on #3 road.

People at Cathy Pacific also got notified they need cash flow = 3 weeks no pay vacation; came thing happened during SARS time.

Embrace for impact all; manufacturer are going to have issues fulfilling orders due to shutdown in china.

Basically to put it short, China is trying to steal and make money off this experimental drug...

Lives are at stake, and guess what... This virus originated from CHINA... Now the Chinese wants to license the drug that THEY didn't even create so other parts of the world HAVE TO PAY to be cured/vaccinated?!

Very classy move China... :rukidding:

Enjoy...

How did you come to this conclusion from reading this article? All your conclusions are completely the opposite of what the article says.

They said that China is respecting world copyright issues by doing it the right way instead of infringing upon them and would allow them to start making the drug in China faster for their own citizens because the company that makes it can't make enough of it fast enough... it even says that global sales would be unaffected by any of the steps China is taking.

It's like you read the first line and made the rest up yourself.

RRxtar 02-06-2020 08:23 AM

any bets on:

does the virus run its course or do we 'cure it'? 6 months?, 1 year?, more than 1 year?

do the olympics go as planned or are delayed?

Chinese government is spreading propaganda claiming there is a chance he can still be saved... smh.

Wuhan police sure did a good job arresting him.
