Giant Metal Robot posted:Germans had all kinds of health movements based around the idea that nature is good. Some are broadly known nowadays. Some you can still pay thousands to experience in an exclusive Alpine resort. I went to a nudism lake in Germany and got parasites from the water.  Not sure that's nudism's fault though.

Homeopathy is basically on the level of TCM, but at least if you want to make enough homeopathic pangolin boner elixirs for the entire world you'd only need a single drop of pangolin essence or whatever to pull it off.

Grand Fromage posted:I just don't understand why. China has actual doctors, they understand what antibiotics are for. I get random people having no clue but why would medical professionals push people to take potentially harmful medicines that you can be 1000% sure will not help with the disease? I don't think they even profit off it the way US pharma companies do, though that seems like the most obvious explanation. British doctors definitely had to be told to stop doing that once antibiotic-resistant bacteria started to be a thing, and there's no financial incentive at all for them. It was mainly just to keep patients happy by prescribing them something when they came in with a bad cold instead of telling them just to go chug soup. It turns out laughter is much less effective medicine than an equivalent placebo.

Winnie the flu is absolutely the correct branding to counter the countermand (or w/e the ccp is claiming they are doing today).Grand Fromage posted:He's an official government spokesman, so yes. Caixin seem to be gambling their right to life. More power to them. Given that NYT etc are being turfed, doubly so they should stand, it's impressive ethics. Fojar38 posted:Alot of the positive propaganda falls flat too when one realizes that the PRC isn't donating things to countries so much as selling them. The "medical outreach" is plague profiteering Have you not been offerred a job selling masks? I have, my gf has, other friends have. The plague profiteering is either desperately needed, or disgusting, i haven't decided yet. The poo poo does need to move, whether it seen is overcapacity product dumping won't be decided for a few weeks yet. Demand is what it is. Them that take advantage now will likely reap the reward later (I hope). I would blow Dane Cook posted:Covid-19? Why you no get Covid-A? This just needs more love! A classic.

You can say that the plague profiteering is good and that's fine but the problem arrives when it's treated as Chinese aid given freely out of the goodness of their hearts, which it isn't.

Burns posted:I wonder how many countries will now indebt themselves to chjna gor the next hundred years gor their bailouts. given the rate of money printing - sorry QE - that is about to take place, i don't think any one is planning to pay anything back. Much like the trillions that got 'lost' during 2008, i would think we are going to see another ridiculously painful inflation jump, just shy of hyper inflation (if we're lucky and we all play nice). I'm not an economics hero by any stretch, but the risk of hyperinflation seems to be stronger now than in 2008. I'm not 100% certain, but, when we are printing telephone numbers of currency overnight, (with what seems to be increasing regularity) the models in hand seem like maybe they are not working - it's not ok is all I'm sure of. I'll toss in an ill-thought out conspiracy just for fun, I would also ask if 2008 was an opportunity to achieve some degree of currency equalisation to ameliorate some of the effects of 20 years of wanton offshoring. I can't meaningfully engage in economics, apologies if this annoyed you. non-stealth edit: Fojar38 posted:You can say that the plague profiteering is good and that's fine but the problem arrives when it's treated as Chinese aid given freely out of the goodness of their hearts, which it isn't. yeah, i'm wholly behind that. Do the corruption and grease the wheel to get the loving poo poo moving. (that was the topic of my dissertation btw, the win-win of coruption in a developing country. at some point the normalisation has to kick in, and the corruption has to stop. Corruption is only useful to a point, the CCP have clearly missed their indicators.) the re-branding, that's lame navel gazing,wishful thinking, point scoring, back patting, disappointing to humanity at large, dissonant ambition. url fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Mar 25, 2020 |

url posted:Fair comment. I'm not an economist either but I know just enough about it to tell you that your post is so hysterically nonsensical that I'm not even sure if you know what hyperinflation means. The corona virus related decreases in labor productivity combined with government stimulus definitely creates the potential for inflation, but there's a big difference between inflation of 10% and 10000%

I don't think it starts at 10000%, calm down a bit. But, sure, I'll walk the hyperbole back. What's the scale, creeping, walking, galloping, hyper? If stimulus is required for an extended period, I think it's relatively safe to say we will be out of our comfort zone and on that scale, to what degree is anyone's guess at this juncture.
