Quote:Originally posted by second: WHO head of emergencies Mike Ryan said the coronavirus pandemic has been severe and affected every corner of the planet. “But this is not necessarily the big one,” he said. “This is a wake-up call. We are learning now how to do things better; science, logistics, training and governance, how to communicate better. But the planet is fragile. We live in an increasingly complex global society. These threats will continue. If there is one thing we need to take from this pandemic, with all of the tragedy and loss, is we need to get our act together. We need to honor those we’ve lost by getting better at what we do every day.” www.marketwatch.com/story/who-says-coronavirus-pandemic-is-not-the-big-one-the-world-needs-to-brace-for-2020-12-29 The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at www.mediafire.com/folder/1uwh75oa407q8/Firefly

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Quote:Originally posted by second: During today’s pandemic, it’s impossible to ignore the stark contrast between what is being asked of health care workers and the unwillingness of many Americans to make even the smallest sacrifice to protect others. Seeing the difficulty with which many of our neighbors summon even a modicum of respect for others’ lives is discouraging to say the least, and at times makes caring for patients on the front lines feel futile for physicians. https://slate.com/technology/2020/12/pandemic-health-care-worker-obligation-vastation-response-essay.html

Quote:Originally posted by second: 6ix, you sound like Agent Smith in the Matrix. Or the Joker is every live action version movie about the Joker. 6ix, that is your nihilism talking about the end of the world. I see the same in Evangelical Christians, too, with their talk of Armageddon destroying everyone not their particular brand of Evangelical.

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: Yanno, we could stop Covid-19 almost dead in its tracks, if we just made N95s available to everyone, and they used them in indoor public exposure. Also, if people limited their household contacts and didn't hold big parties. Seems simple, and minimal impact on anyone's freedoms.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Surely we're smarter than the average baboon. Right? They questions are, why haven't we changed even as we see the cliff we're jumping off of; and what would it take?

Can you make just one single post where you don't fuck up English please? Your "education" didn't do anything more for your low double digit IQ than carrying around a smart phone does for it. It's a wonder you haven't forgotten to breathe in your sleep by now. If you're actually an adult, start acting like one. Because all I see is a stupid and frightened little child.

I know you're only like 10 years old Ted, but old people die. Everyone dies. You're going to die one day too. What have you done today to earn your place in this crowded world? :) Yes, Jack. Everyone does die but you keep singling out the old. And death isn't solely the purview of the old. Babies die all over the world every day and some of them while still in utero without having even taken that first sweet breath of life. Children of all ages and teenagers of all ages die every day all over the world. Some through accidents, some through undiagnosed medical conditions, some through war, some through criminal activity of their own doing as teenagers. Some because adults are being a-holes. People in their 20s die every day all over the world as well from accidents, undiagnosed medical conditions, through war, criminal activity and some because other people are being a-holes. Same thing for people in their 30s and into their 40s like you Jack.
Quote:And I for one am offended by your tag line. I do not need to justify my surviving something that would have put others into the ground.

Quote:Originally posted by 1KIKI: Oh, and fwiw, next time you whinge about how the "economy was destroyed over nothing" or how people will commit suicide, I'll just point and laugh, and remind you that people lose jobs and commit suicide every day. Because you don't give a fuck about anybody's death, so why would you give a fuck about their jobs, or their depression/ suicide.

You already stole everything you need to live out your days not worrying about you or yours, so you can just sit back the rest of your life and demand that those younger than you who are paying your social security checks behave the way that you want them to. Glad you find it amusing. https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/28/asia/japan-suicide-women-covid-dst-intl-hnk/index.html What have you done today to earn your place in this crowded world? :)

Quote: SIX: I'm sorry that you're so easily offended and are using your heritage as a privilege shield. I never pegged you for the type to do that before. BRENDA: I am not referring to my heritage Jack. I am referring to the fact that I survived a brain tumour that could have killed me when I was 24 years old.

I wouldn't be so sure it's incompetence and not purposeful negligence, like slowing the mail. "Let's not be in too fast a rush... make sure we do it right... wink" its another way of putting his foot on the brakes without seeming to do so. He's been in a murderous mood lately - power tripping every time the numbers of dead people (Americans in this case) go up. He's a saddist - just another one of his *character traits.*
