Time to let America be ****ed?

Time to Move on and let the pandemic sweep through America and Europe?

Hmmm. Moving on from hating cops, to hating the USA in general today Bhodi?
 

So you just want to 'wing it' because you're tired of the inconvenience. Yeah, knew that already.

And how well did it go when we saw Omicron coming from S. Africa? We had a couple of weeks...didnt stop it a bit...seems like your 'China solution' is pretty useless too.
 
One thing is for sure. If there was ever a pandemic of something like the Ebola Virus, the dumb asses would die right before they
started screaming "It's a hoax!"
 
Didn't vote because there are already enough people who have decided THEY are done with the pandemic, which means we all are. Pandemic isn't done with us though - see you at the next variant.

935K+ American dead as of this post.

"COMORBIDITIES! COMORBIDITIES!"
 
The West has become a libertine, hedonist, and decadent mess where people forgot about discipline and only clamor on about social democracy and social welfare programs. It skims off the top of the rest of the world's aristocrats to migrate here instead of expecting those aristocrats to lead their own countries. In turn, it doesn't care about the well-being of its own talent. It just cares about letting spoiled brats network with other spoiled brats.

The West can't be left behind because the West is the rest.
 
Not locating viral research centers in the middle of densely populated cities like Wuhan might not be a bad idea, either.

This is a good idea...
 
We have Reston very close to DC.
Not good.

We don't know for sure where this thing came from but it does seem much less likely to me that it came from a bat in a wet market than from the research center doing research on this very type of virus located literally within sight of it.

Having traveled to China several times over the years, it is pretty hard to locate anything outside of a population center there. A small town in China is 200,000 people.
 
Yeah except that in our journey through covid we can say only 56 people have died so far. What's your count again?

I have already moved on with my life. This pandemic is over as far as I am concerned. I did not die from it. Nobody in my family has died from it. The few people I know who did die from it were already dying.
I have no idea why bod would give a like for this. Your statement makes it glaringly obvious that you do not give a **** about anyone but yourself.
 
Doesn't it make you wonder what Bod would have done had not the leaders of his country told him what to do?
Yet americans are just following weird conspiracy theories and a wanna be president trump. While the people in nz are following the science along with the government

Huh?

I'm not saying NZ's approach was ineffective. I'm just saying OP doesn't get to gloat about it being effective and wish further misery on others, in precisely the same post that he's advocating NZ abandon that approach and adopt an American/European approach.

It doesn't really matter to me what NZ decides to do. Lock down your country, rejoin civilization, whatever. I'll be fine either way.
 
I agree. Gloating and wishing bad things for others is done more than enough by americans themselves to each other without other countries adding to it.

And no, american and european are just giving up and not caring who dies. NZ has not and hopefully will not follow that path.

And yet even as you criticize it, you just can't help yourself. I don't know much about NZ...is a smug sense of superiority a cultural trait? Because we don't think about you guys at all. Even our world maps often forget you exist.

Everyone who wants to be vaccinated has been vaccinated. Most of us are tired of enduring stupid rules to protect unvaccinated people. I'm not going to care more about their health than they do.
NZ has not and hopefully will not follow that path.
That's fine, you are a sparsely populated island country over a thousand miles from civilization. You can lock down for years or generations if you want to.

I get that but fundamentally, it's just a bad idea.

There is a reason why we chose Yucca Mountain to store radioactive waste. You can never guarantee containment 100%.
 
That
 
Not good.

If the bat came from a wet market in the area, why wouldnt they research it at the closest facility?
