The Coronavirus Thread

Post by pErvinalia » Fri Feb 07, 2020 12:53 am

It's just not the same without Crumple here. We'd all be panicking that the world was about to end if he was here to give us regular "updates" about the Coronavirus.

Anyway, seems a pretty piss weak pandemic. :coffee:

We are getting a planeload of them China travellers. Placed in army barracks for a couple of weeks. Then sent home.

Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

More likely to spread than SARS, but less lethal, which fits from an evolutionary viewpoint...

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Not in response to them, but it does mean that international contagion is more likely than SARS...

Can someone link Crumple's inevitable thread at Ratskep. I need a laugh.

Thomas Eshuis doesn't post much any more.

As for Spearthrower, his compulsion to argue with someone - anyone - seems pathological. FFS, can you think of a less worthy poster to argue with at ratskep than Jayjay4547? In JJ's thread on "Atheist Ideology"™ Spearthrower has posted almost 300 more times than our theist brainfart. The score right now stands at 960 : 672.

Someone should create a sock called Woomera there, and agree with everything Spearthrower says, just for the laffs...
