Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
Just to race bait, what percentage of the people who've gotten the coronavorus are of non Chinese desent? Could it still be racist to call it the China virus if ONLY Chinese DNA could contract it? Hypothetically speaking.
Just making conversation. No ill intent
Not sure what value there would be in this hypothetical... At that point, I don't think the name would matter, as they would be busy trying to figure out why it would only attack those of a specific ethnicity. Biological terrorism would be on everyone's mind
I’m not a geneticist, but I’d be curious to know if there is enough difference in human DNA between races to reliably infect one group and not cross to the others. If that was possible, fuck thats a scary thought.

really think this wont be easy fix, as its so easy to jump from person to person. also wonder if somebody gets the virus, gets better, can they get it again or antibodies within develop. hope vaccine comes out soon but prob a year + away.
There's no sign of these masks showing up in public. No public program for poor people, insufficient masks for hospital workers... Even clinics have to close because the doctors don't have enough masks.
Joshua Wong brought in 100K masks from the US to give away and sell for below cost. Pro govt people criticized him for not getting more. Other pro govt people are saying they should do another $10K giveaway, so people can afford to buy these masks that are out there for 10X the price
They changed the way of stats is tallied from diagnosis through actual testing to signs of showing symptoms. This gives a more accurate picture of actual infected vs before, which is an improvement on transparency (as far as I understand the situation)
spring break's only a month out now and the cases are seriously flaring up...this outbreak is showing no signs of containment in the region
might table east asia trip...which seemed like a ridiculous idea just weeks ago but for non-essential travel it's looking more like mitigation is the way to go
American Airlines pushing HK/China flights out by TEN weeks
lets say they stepped on some bird droppings with there shoes,came home,touched the shoe taking it off and bam...started eatting without washing hands and sick
Buddy of mine is on a layover in Shanghai right now, it's like soft martial law there he can't even find food... no stores or restaurants open... need to take a card and get it stamped if you leave the hotel, allowed to leave once per day. He sent me all these pictures over wechat of the Bund almost totally empty in the middle of the day, hardly a single person in sight.
It's a lot crazier than they're letting on I think..........
