It is better this way
Riiiiight, I'm not saying hes not, but the travel ban necessary, if anything it didnt happen soon enough.

As a non-American on the outside looking in, all I can say is "wow."
It's a highly contagious virus, and intercontinental travel today is very accessible and relatively fast. It actually makes a lot of sense, and the best way for a country to have stopped it early would have been to lock down their boarders and ban all citizens from leaving the country.

"This health crisis must serve as a wake-up call for the need to end unsustainable use of endangered animals and their parts, as exotic pets, for food consumption and for their perceived medicinal value."This is a good read for anyone who wants to know more about wet markets:

If you have ever been to a shopping area where butchers and grocers sell fresh produce straight from the farm, then you have been to something that would, in some parts of the world, be called a wet market.
Are you feeling sick or anything?
Yes. I don’t feel the sickest I’ve ever felt or anything, just feel sick. Chills, chest tightening, blood pressure keeps going really low, sore throat on and off, and temperature was a little high yesterday (99.7) but the thermometer I have is a piece of junk and isn’t working today. The places I called said with my symptoms I should 100% get tested and the earliest opening is Friday.
Sorry
Hope you feel better. Load up on Vitamin C and D and take some zinc lozenges if you have them. Don't OD on anything, just take a normal amount. Lay on your side or stomach if you feel your lungs tighten up.
I mean, every country has their ridiculous things. Here in America we load up on guns, ammunition, and stuff to kill people like it’s going out of style. Which I’m sure looks moronic to the rest of the developed world.
My eyes just rolled so hard they left my head and rolled out the front door.
I'll meet you half way on this, I'd say the people who are legitimately insane with guns are in the minority. Most people (myself included) own guns to defend themselves, some people are into competitive shooting, or hunting. None of that causes a pandemic, not to mention a gun only kills people in range, and most of the time deliberately, not several time zones away.
I can understand the feeling of wanting to own one, but I bet that maybe 1-2% of the people who buy lethal weapons end up actually defending themselves.
If that's true, it's still a lot of people. You also have to consider the fact that home invasions/break ins when people are actually home are a lot less common than in other countries. Mostly because owning a weapon actually works as a deterrent.
Sure, but as a school shooting survivor I'm never going to not own a gun.
Ever since the 1993 survey conducted by Gertz and Kleck the number of owners using firearms for self defense HAS in fact been solidly around the 1% mark. This amounts to around 2 million instances annually(1-1.5 million for DGU by households) . The 2013 study ordered by the CDC found that annual estimates of defensive uses of firearms outstripped violent crimes involving them by margins ranging from 200,000 to 2.5 million.
I'm sorry you had to endure something so tragic, but am appreciative that you are taking the steps to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you. As a former firearms broker it was my pleasure to enable people to be their own first line of defense, and is the ONLY aspect of the industry that I miss dearly.
Shit I've been waiting since the thread began!
Don't forget standing up straight as tall as you can and reaching your arms straight up as high as possible expands your lungs and allows for their full capacity if you're having trouble breathing. You sports players and runners already know that I'm sureSorry
Oh you mean the thing many schools fail to teach? Nope not important, when are kids ever gonna use that when they grow up?
My mom is a fucking Trump supporter. No matter how many times he does something that effects her directly and fucks her over she keeps supporting him. I just told her about the checks thing and she just laughed about it instead of being angry. Angry that we need it now and it's being delayed due to some assholes ego.
