PIZZA.BAT posted:i hate to break this to you but this disease mostly targets the unproductive members of our society. we're not going to lose any capacity to produce food. if it really comes down to it the powers that be will let go and just let the olds die i don’t think it mostly targets computer touchers though?

Stereotype posted:I keep telling everyone who is saying "It isn't just the US, everywhere in the world is doing badly" that, in fact, China and South Korea are doing very well cant speak for south corea but china isnt really "doing well" i dont think. i mean, maybe compared to the world of poo poo the us is starting to find itself in, but tens of millions of people are still on lockdown, everywhere else is heavily restricted, and the economy is clearly biting the big one here. walked down a street yesterday that used to have about i guess 12 or so restaurants that were always pretty busy. 8 were closed, boarded up, for rent signs in the window. 2 more were closed but looked like maybe they could reopen someday? and two were open with no customers. half our suppliers are either stuff not back yet or operating at 50% capacity. retail sales of our products are down over 50-70% yoy in east/southeast asia. i mean we make essentially luxury goods but its not a good sign.

Fatal Error posted:lomarf if you believe any official news from china i mean you don't have to believe it to get the basic idea here. theyre arent covering up uncontrolled viral pneumonia outbreaks and mass graves here in shenzhen. i'd have noticed it somehow. i promise i'll break the news here in this thread if something like that happens. and i personally know a half dozen or so people currently in various parts of mega quarantined hubei province. at this point any coverups are in the margins, not the general idea.

i work in a gossipy office with 950 employees, my girlfriend works in another company with a hundred or so, with all these people living scattered throughout the city each with their own families and friends etc. i really don't believe it would be possible to cover up a wuhan or northern italy level outbreak here without at least rumors of it that i'd be somewhat aware of

Acer Pilot posted:I got some racism today for buying two jugs of water. I have always bought water from the market ever since my kitchen faucet poured out funky coloured smelly water once but I guess me being Asian during this pandemic gives people the right to comment about or question my purchases. I am pretty displeased about this since this is Canada and I’ve never really experienced this sort of thing before. have you tried being white

PIZZA.BAT posted:yeah i think italy scared the poo poo out of everyone. i'm cautiously optimistic that we may get through this with minimal casualties. can't wait for all the contrarian shitlords to talk about how it wasn't necessary once it finally blows over im not. if anything im cautiously optimistic that this disease might shine a bright light on the fundamental rot inside our economy. i dont see how it ends any time soon.
