If America cuttoff access from Europe to America before the first case it would of worked. Or early on mask orders and lockdowns. Plus not opening up after a month and having it spread to everyone would of helped too. That would of at least fixed the America situation.

Depends on the situation going out in public with a mask should be considered an act of violence. That’s why there should be a mask order. You know risk and you are putting everyone around you at risk to either getting sick or dying by not wearing a mask. Just like me firing bullets in the air is putting myself and everyone around me at risk of injury and death. You don’t have a freedom of pointlessly putting lives at risk. You are limiting other people’s freedoms by doing so. You argument of muh freedums is retarded and you are a puppet of other retards by spreading it.

There is absolutely no way that China would lockdown before spreading it. It just doesn't make economic sense. Imagine if China contained it and experience an economic depressión alone while the rest of the world remained open for business. So I don't blame China. But given that they did that, I wouldn't blame the rest of the world if they decided to casually nuke China.

This is such a fucking meme. You're taking a risk every single day when you leave the house. You actually do have the freedom of pointlessly putting other lives at risk when you make the conscious decision of driving a motor vehicle. No matter how careful you are, you could easily start hydroplaning or have a catastrophic engine failure in the middle of a freeway.

Usefulness and risk of hurting other people are part of the equation. So driving a car is useful technically you could go on the bus or some shit but of course buses suck and there are plenty of reasons to not use one we dont need to get into. Masks are uncomfortable and that’s it. That’s the only reason not to wear one. I think during a pandemic for a disease like covid I think it’s okay to have a mask order. The penalty for not wearing a mask far out weighs a slight annoyance.

It's not about containing the virus. We already got it so we are fucked. But if China was a homie, they would have contained it. Given that they didn't, they are clearly not a homie and spread COVID on purpose. If you look at China's GDP figures you know they want to dethrone the US as the economic super-power. I would not be surprised if Xi has a 9000 IQ economic recovery plan so that post-Corona China's GDP finally surpasses America's. So this is the last chance that the US, as the super-power of the world, can decide to just delete China from the face of the earth. No next chances. I believe that if the US lets this one slide then that's it for the US. Just like the European powers of the past, the US will fall and China will take over as the dominant power.

The only way to prevent WWII was to genocide all Germans after WWI. Europe didn't and see what happened to them. This pandemic, believe me, is just Pandemic I. Get ready for Pandemic II and Pandemic III.

There are many reasons not to wear masks besides discomfort. Firstly, just think of the environmental impact of 7 billion people using multiple disposable masks every day for months. Some masks are biodegradable, and some of them are reusable (although the effectiveness of reusable masks is questionable). All of the medical waste has to go somewhere. Another issue that nobody cares about is how China is using forced Uighur labor to mass-produce masks. Why is it okay that you get to feel safe and protected when you see someone wearing a mask that was made from literal slave labor? When I choose to go out in public without a mask, I'm taking the stance that the environment is more important than your life, and fuck you if you think that a slave mask made by a little orphan boy makes you feel good about your personal well-being.

I'm sorry for reading history. Every single time the solution to all political problems is genocide. And every single time when an Empire falls is because they didn't genocide enough people. One properly funded Imperial campaign to completely eradicate all tribes of Germania - Roman Empire never falls. One properly funded genocide of all protestants - Catholic church never becomes the bitch it is today. One properly funded genocide of all Germans after WWI - No WWII.

China knows it too as they genocide plenty of people in their territory. They have concentration camps running as we speak. Genocide is just a political tool as any other. You are too much of a pussy to use it and that is why you don't have power. I am sure that in your long lineage of ancestors there was once someone who had the possibility of becoming a great monarch if they had just genocided the right people but he pussied out.

>> No.12104314

I am well aware that the genocide we don't commit today is just the genocide we will have to commit tomorrow. You can always go back in time to find another ideal place to just eradicate all peoples but you have to start somewhere.

The US has not done a good genocide in a while now and my belief is that after COVID a great place to start is China.

Who the fuck cares about garbage getting strewn about if we did (which we don’t) then we shouldn’t be drinking water bottles and using plastic wrap shit for all our packaging. A year of mask use doesn’t compete with years and years and years of basically pointless plastic usage and this doesn’t even address the point that you can just wear cloth masks and circumvent this whole issue. So first point is retarded. Next Uighur slaves? We don’t care about Uighur slaves if you did you wouldn’t be buying Chinese shit all the time. If they weren’t making masks they’d be making some other product that’d be sent over to America. Doesn’t change anything. Also this can be circumvented by making your own masks or sparking up industry in America to make masks. Which you can do as president. If you ever been to Walmart recently you can find American made masks, this is a non issue. I can’t believe you think these are good ideas. You have been hypnotized by the Jews or something to care more about the random shit like economy and environment then our own safety and health even when it doesn’t matter.

Taking federal leadership would have greatly helped on masks. California has mask production capabilities, normally keeps masks in the millions from all their fire fighting experience and also knows how to order more. Instead it was made into a free for all and the Australia fires left them heavily depleted in their normal stockpile.

Nope. I was warning everyone in November. At the gm factory. That parts could come in contaminated. And even jokes. That even though I know this and that they too now know this... we will still show up too work. For the money. To pay the Bill's we are tied too. So nothing would have stopped.

I only learnt about covid from fellow employees. Because I don't watch the news. And I just told them how I thought covid would spread.

And it also explains how it kept spreading during a global shut down.

Because the china factories. Didn't destroy their product. They just shipped it through shell companies at cheaper prices. And our buisness companies ate up the cheaper prices. But the same contaminated parts.

It's how buisness works.

Early mask orders would have done nothing. People didn't have effective masks at the time with even well-made cloth masks being hard to come by for a month or so after things started heating up in the US. The bigger issue was the fact that the shutdowns were poorly thought out. You can't just tell a small business to shut its doors without having some mechanism to keep them from going bankrupt. Congressional politics has proved to be a bane to our response, with House Democrats going through extensive efforts to poison-pill all of the legislation they push through in an attempt to achieve social policy ends, likely relying on the fact that they can just blame the executive for failures in leadership if their stymieing of federal response leads to more people getting fucked.

As a consequence of this, shutdowns became economically infeasible after the first couple of months -- right around the time when people just said "fuck it" and decided that masks were fake news and the disease is a left-wing conspiracy to violate our rights. I don't blame Trump for it, because there was never a bill presented to him that would have fixed shit, and any federal mask mandate would have been promptly ignored (in additional to being unconstitutional and unenforceable).

Trump wasn't the real problem, the real problem was the EU, specifically the more-or-less unregulated travel within the Schengen Area. The US shut down travel into and out of China pretty early on (I wanna say third or fourth week of January if I'm remembering right), but the EU didn't suspend travel to China for weeks after and was basically accusing the US of paranoid xenophobia right up until Italy reported it had several hundred cases and by then it was too late. Virtually the entire spread of Covid in the West can be traced back to travel between the EU and China, which then spread to the US by way of New York (which thumbed its nose at federal travel restrictions and warnings for weeks).
