I was never going to say "told you so" here. It was never my intention to humiliate you - you've been doing that yourself for like 3 days now.

And now you are introducing a bit of racism.

Please just give up.

I like how you conveniently excluded the bracketed statement at the end.

But let me quote this for now. We'll see in a few months if you still have your job.

The bracketed part wasn't quoted because you hadn't edited your post before I quoted it.

A LOT of people will lose their jobs. A LOT of companies will go out of business. Making fun of someone for it isn't a good thing to do.

Please just stop

Lol the bracketed part was part of the original post. I added the canadian job loss part after.

But anyways I'm not making fun of people losing their jobs. I'm saying be careful what you wish for. There are unwanted consequences for this overreaction.

Anyways, I think I'll better spend my time treating patients rather than treating people's mental illnesses. Good luck in your future endeavors.

SkinnyPupp 03-11-2020 07:15 PM

I literally hit the quote button and replied. If it's not in my post, it wasn't in yours.

Jesus you really are delusional aren't you? LUL

Nobody wished for this. I already wrote that I wish I was wrong and you were right. But that's not what arguing or debating is about, and it's why I don't engage with climate change deniers, anti-vaxxers, or religious zealots. No point.

Good luck to you too, I mean that sincerely.

They say dont panic but it's time to fucking panic. We need to get on top of this and slowly but surely shut this country down.

SkinnyPupp 03-11-2020 07:49 PM

No, don't panic. While being ignorant is not the same as being calm, and those days are over, you can still be actually calm while dealing with this the right way.

You can shut things down without panicking.

lol he visited empty buildings filled with plants. They brought in 20K secret police dressed in plain clothes to look like healthy citizens.

On Monday, when I was in Bellingham Costco, I was in the line up to pay. I had a twin bag of shredded cheese in the cart. This worker, was going from cash register to cash register putting people's items on the belt. He was one of those go getters trying to please everybody. When he got to where I was, he coughs into his hands and picks up the cheese and places it onto the belt. The two cashiers tell me he's always like that. "He's pretty intense." I told them I didn't appreciate him "touching my junk." I didn't even get a reaction from them until I told them he just coughed into his hands before placing my cheese onto the belt. They told me they will get another one if I wanted. I said no. I have disinfectant wipes in the car. I didn't push the matter any further, but holy fuck, I should have.

God damn it, no free McD's fries anymore.................

When Raptors score X number of three pointers McD's Canada offers customers free fries with purchase.

All kidding aside, this might just be the tip of the iceberg. Still, I'm not gong to panic, until someone on RS comes down with the virus.

BTW, has anyone heard from GLOW lately? :troll:

Rallydrv 03-11-2020 08:22 PM

If anything good freaking comes out of this is

A) China banning wildlife market. Leave that shit alone.
B) people take hygiene more serious ( but pretty sure most will forget about it and forget Washing hands)

Badhobz 03-11-2020 08:30 PM

Panic about the world stopping, not about getting sick! Let’s be realistic here! Why do I think housing bubble Jason will be showing his face soon?

Just stop, everyone has their own opinion about the covid-19 and obviously yours isn't going to change regardless if it has been declared a pandemic by professionals (WHO) or after there has been cases of community transmission in BC. I also work in health care and I've spoken to many doctors and nurses about this and frankly, all of them are worried for us Canadians. You are starting to sound like an anti-vaxxer/Earth is flat believer the more you post and that nothing can convince you even if you were dying.

I'm a community centre guy and so far zero change in traffic or behavior. Wipe down bench at most. Haven't even seen people start wiping handles.

On another note went to BBQ master the other day and one of the workers was basically opening the door for people so they don't touch the door handle yet the person behind the till who is hanging cash is also packing the food. Wife called them out on it basically saying the effort is appreciated with the door but maybe you should consider not having money and food lol. They reached pretty frantic, peeps definitely on high alert.
