I have three aunts and two uncles all over 80, one 90. I have a cousin who has lived in China for over 30 years. He was going to move his family back here, but she would only be allowed to live in the states for ten years. They were recently in Mongolia, and she went back to China before him to be with her parents, then the virus broke and now he is stuck there and can't get back into China. It's scary but we'll be ok. One of the sliver linings we can possibly take from this your approach of us all taking a step back, refocus on what's important and love on our families and each other. Sometimes it felt that the world was barreling down the road a little too fast. |

****ing science, man.
And seriously - if I hear anyone else bitch about calling this the "Chinese Flu" I'm gonna kick 'em in the dick. Had the west known 2 months ago what they know now, this shit flat doesn't happen. A little public shaming is more than in order. The world writ large oughta send these assholes the bill similar to how we wrapped up WWI (let's not consider its repercussions). The response to this disease once we recognized it's significance has to be something similar to how the space race went for those who are old enough to remember it. This stuff is coming at a breakneck pace and it's a remarkable testament to our scientific community. |

Nobody trusts China. That’s why I LMFAO awhile back when they talked about creating their own world currency. Xi is determined to rule the world. A very dangerous man. If the world needs to unite in anything taking this guy out.

I talked to him the other day about this and how they’re predicting this and that. He said “the whole ****ing worlds science community is taking aim at that little ****ing virus and they’re all United, it doesn’t stand a chance” Everyone is full steam on this thing. They’ve started potentially producing prophylactic antibody treatments already. We got it serology down now. It’s ****ed |
