The Coronavirus Thread

[JimC]

Sound like Cuomo may have helped you out with the former...

When will we see the first 'covid magnets'? If we had a 'coalmine canary' species, which caught the virus much easier, we could seed areas with them, and begin to hunt the virus more actively (as opposed to waiting for it to come find us)

Send your ideas to epidemiologists all over the world, Cunt. I'm sure they'll be fascinated...

[Cunt]

I don't know any. The 'canary in a coalmine' concept isn't mine though, I'm sure someone will be running with it already.

After musing about flir (the infrared camera company) I looked around their site. They are doing a lot toward the effort. Personal, commercial and givernment.

Canaries are the elderly.

[Cunt]

Canaries are the elderly.

Thoughtful, but not what I had in mind. If we had a species we could kill which had better optics.

Or an insect which develops a taste for the virus, and seeks it out. Release swarms where suspected infections are, and follow.

What could go wrong...?

Anyone over 70 would make an excellent 'Covid Canary'. Or a disabled person with a number of risk enhancing co-morbidities.

I vote that you head up the panel who selects them.

As I wrote: That's what's happening. In countries with fewer elderly people, the medium age of covid deaths is much lower.

Are you making a joke about Cuomo? I heard some murmurs, but I've been up a ladder where the news isn't.

[pErvinalia]

No one knows what the fuck you are talking about regarding Cuomo. Remember, we don't have a front-row seat in your brain.

[Cunt]

No one cares when a Prominent Democrat Celebrity does something awful. I'm not surprised you think no-one knows. Didn't Turnip take an undeserved mulligan today?

"The families of thousands of dead New York seniors deserve accountability and justice for the true consequences of Governor Cuomo’s fatally flawed nursing home policy and the continued attempts to cover it up. It’s clear what's happening here is criminal,"

You should probably attack Fox News though, rather than the filthy fucker who was hiding from responsibility. He won't have to give back the Emmy, might even deserve another.

What a fucking disgusting performance. Do you remember the feds sent in a hospital ship? Instead of using it, he made more 'Democrat-friendly' choices.

Why are you so obsessed with American politics? You don't even comment on Canadian politics.

[Cunt]

Why are you so obsessed with me? I'm flattered and everything, but it's a bit weirder than being interested in my (10 times more populous) neighbour.

Why do you think antifa is obsessed with Portland (least fascist place in the US) instead of Pyongyang? Or Beijing? Or a really fascist place?

[pErvinalia]

Because they live there, unlike you.

[Cunt]

Yes, but why Portland? Why not in the most fascist areas instead?

Is it the art scene? The restaurants? The DA?

[Brian Peacock]

Really?

[pErvinalia]

Yes, but why Portland? Why not in the most fascist areas instead?

Is it the art scene? The restaurants? The DA?

Again, because they live there.
