minorities in America were affected in a more negative manner by covid-19 because the branch of govt in control of spending didnt want to help, the medical fields refuse to provide ample hospitals in areas with a higher concentration of minorities, and privileged lefties burned down minority businesses and neighborhoods in the name of “defearing racism”

since we are just saying things that are probably true etc.

If you support yourself largely based on your own paychecks, then yes. If a significant chunk of your household income came from food stamps, welfare checks, child benefits and such, then these parts of your livelihood were not impacted.


A minority which happens to be hugely overrepresented in the media, academia, among consultants and institutions in general. These functional elites might be a minority, but their $$$ and their outsized sway over published opinion give them far more influence on political decision-making than their demographic weight suggests.


Not those living in blue states where the governors shut everything down, referring desperate people to the soon-to-come government checks... which then never materialized (at least not on the scale promised/needed).

Looks like we're gonna get another lockdown, until at least 19th of Jan, starting tonight at 00:00...

Honestly I'm getting more and more angry over time towards the fucks that don't keep to the advice and measures regarding Covid. I want the govt to start pulling out the stick instead of just promising a carrot in the future.

Companies that can work from home but don't need to be fined. People who ignore Covid measures need to be fined. Airports should be closed for people transport.

I haven't seen some of my best friends since March. I have seen my family 2 times since then.

People should be fined over not caring about a sickness no worse than the flu.

Do you hear yourself?

Fuck you and your disinformation.

I'm not misinformed, I know very well the severity of this virus.

Yes, I agree that really forcing companies to go with home office wherever it's possible is urgently needed. Other than that, I really dont think that the escalation of the situation in our countries can be attributed exclusively to those flouting the covid measures - every day, we have millions of schoolchildren sitting in crowded classrooms and schoolbuses, millions of workers commuting in crowded public transport, spending hours next to their coworkers, creating connections between their families, etc.

Even in South Korea, where compliance and contact tracing are as good as it can possibly get in a free, democratic society, shit is starting to hit the fan:

At this rate, even South Korea will probably not get over this winter without imposing a hard lockdown at some point.




I think the world really underestimated how difficult it would be to keep the virus under control during cold season. In spring, Europe and the U.S. probably got more lucky than we realized at the time because the pandemic only escalated in mid March, when we were just a few weeks away from spring. It seems that keeping schools, factories and most businesses open during cold season eliminates almost all room for error, but at the same time, it's obvious that we cannot afford to shut these things down for prolonged periods of time, let alone for months on end until April.

I guess by that logic, 911 should never be brought up again.

After all who gives a shit, its only a few thousand americans who died. Peanuts in comparison to the nothing burger that is the total covid deaths.

what virus?

Exactly.
