Note to self: buy toilet paper
Oh god no, not again
Those people had the last laugh when Omicron came around. I never spent so much time on the shitter.
Cue the people cheering who still have at least 500 rolls left in their basement from last time.
Or a bidet.
That's stupid. Invest in a bidet and never worry about tp again.
Poop rag
My gf caught this, it’s pretty bad. After a week and a half of not getting any better, she finally had to go to the clinic and stay for a few days on IV meds and now she’s finally recovering. She had white spots on her lungs when they scanned them, it scared the crap out of me.
I forgot to mention, she had initially tried to get a doctor to come to her home and they told her they’re having a shortage of the needed IV drugs because so many people are having this sickness, and she’d need to come in to get it.
What country was this in? I read reports of this also happening in France
She’s in northern China, north of Beijing.
I don't blame Beijing honestly. Bigots will just run around screaming "China Flu", claim its from a lab or whatever. And they're the same people who don't trust WHO, or vaccines or whatever anyway
I'm not sure they have much to gain from collaborating unfortunately.
It's so weird watching you guys come up with reasons why cooperating with the world about a new disease is actually bad.
I'm not defending them, but maybe you could name some reasons why cooperating benefits them?
I'm not arguing it wouldn't be good if they cooperated, but just genuinely interested in what the perceived benefits would be to them?
Possibly people would over time stop treating them like enemies, if they actually behaved like allies. The whole world is (very slowly) moving away from any dependence on China.
If they actually cooperated with the rest of the world instead of trying to take advantage of it while slowly planning how to take over Asia, they'd have it easier.
You don't ask China about novel diseases, just like you don't ask about war-crimes US and it's vassal state commits. Their populace or anyone under the influence of their propaganda gets mighty defensive about it.
I don’t blame Beijing honestly. Bigots will just run around screaming “China Flu”, claim its from a lab or whatever.
And? How does this justify potential consequences? If they don't cooperate, people won't blame them? This logic is faulty from any side.
Here we go again.
