It is better this way
This was a good watch. Who woulda thought caging, slaughtering, and butchering live animals all on site, not to mention eating fucking bats and snakes and shit wouldnt be a good idea?

Wait what? Source? I’ve been really busy today. I at least have the next 3 days off of work. Finally a break from having to go outside (not even kidding).
I'm glad I don't live in a place that densely populated! Outside of Albuquerque and Santa Fe, it has been pretty easy to stay away from crowds in New Mexico, even when running errands. Another reason I say fuck living in California
Some have said it’s Gods way of testing us but if that’s the case we’ve failed as some will be more concerned on the blame over the good news regarding the virus’s fighting it, coming together etc progress like today they confirmed in the states that certain anti inflammatory meds are helping more than other countries because we have better medicine than most. They also have realized That a certain drug they used to fight malaria is actually helping defeat the coronavirus as well.
This is but one of many theories, another is it’s manmade but then you start going down conspiracy theory territory so who knows man lol
The fact that a lot is being done with currently available drugs, isn't that a good thing? Much of the testing has been done before they were released. So long as the combination of different ones doesn't need as extensive testing it should lead to some sort of treatment earlier, rather than later. Hopefully.
Yes of course, It’s a great thing.
I am not racist and it doen't make me uncomfortable.
Spanish Flu did not originate from Spain.
You are right, but naming it different won't make a big difference imo. If a virus originates in the US, lots of people will act wary or even xenophobic towards US citizens. Just like you see now in Thailand, where some act like this towards white people.
I linked this in the Uprise Discord yesterday!
For the record I agree with the second half of your original reply. Calling the virus what it is would most assuredly decrease discrimination towards Chinese Americans (and, I guess, Chinese citizens all over). I'm reading a lot about out-of-nowhere harassment fueled greatly by this term and I'm disgusted.

I agree with you that this could be used by people who were already racist to be awful. But I don't think anything will or won't keep racist people from being or not being that way ya know? It's called the coronavirus, everyone knows it by that name, I feel like even if terms like the wuhan flu weren't being used, there would be little to k no kw difference with how racist people are acting. I think this is different than the Spanish Flu thah UltraDavid pointed out because coronavirus most likely start in Wuhan. By most likely, I mean almost certainly, I just dont want to say for sure in case ya know it turns out not to be the case. Iv heard people say Wuhan flu just because that is what they heard it called around the beginning of the year because it was new and they simply were lacking a better descriptor and that is what they had heard.I linked this in the Uprise Discord yesterday!

I was inspired by your post to check on how Thailand is handling things since I had no idea. "Farang" is a word and a half. Came across a Wikipedia article listing the nationalities of all confirmed patients in Thailand:

Seems like they're also canceling events, tightening travel to/from, etc.
Relevant article for those curious, published 13 March:

Thailand's Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul is making public disparaging and xenophobic comments about 'white' foreigners
By “absolutely necessary “, they still expect you to go to work. Just can’t party after. Bummer.
You have to be out of your mind to defend the job Trump has done. Even Mike Francesa, a former NY sports radio host, who has been a vocal Trump supporter has spoken to how poorly he has done:
Yup. Saw that the other day and couldn't help but laugh. They really think they're contributing to the wellness of the people by remaining open. Fuck outta here.
EB Games (as they're still called here in Canada) have been the trashy used car salesmen of gaming here now for, oh, a good fifteen years or so.
They have those exclusive MK figures that I still need to get tho
( But yes that’s shitty af :/
