    Get out and get back to living! Many say survival of the fittest, while currently hiding in their homes! Rona is here, and you will be exposed. Put your pants on!

    As mentioned, open up. I think I’ve posted about 10 times about how the the risk of staying locked up has crossed the reward line of not spreading the virus.

    With a lot of my additional posts, I’m hoping that a proper investigation can be done into what happened in Wuhan.
    In general, it seems like this this was likely a man-made virus. China has had more than enough incentive to release something like this for personal gain. (Protests in HK, the fight over the South China Sea, economical sanctions from the US, the additional economic reach well into Europe)
    I’m not so sure that the timing and fashion was on purpose(the inaccuracies in their reporting of the virus make it difficult to know how much it really affected them), but I definitely see enough that the virus in general could be used to cripple adversaries.
    Hard to argue is hasn’t worked. They seem to be reaping the rewards economically around the globe and at least fighting for expanded sea power with little resistance. What their full intentions are, I guess the future holds.

    Literally every scientist in the world has said definitively that the virus is clearly NOT man made. Not sure what Russian FB posts you're buying in to but they are BS.

    You think the risk reward is "worth it" to open up hair salons at the risk of a new outbreak and tens of thousands of Americans dying? Idiotic and selfish.

    False on “literally every scientist”
    Literally everywhere you go(if you want to find it) you will find very conflicting outlooks on what is happening or how this started. China seems pretty wise to deny an investigation into Wuhan.

    it seems as if China was pretty prepared for this. Not only does the “spreading” concern seem to be non existent but their reported numbers leveled off weeks ago. Could be lying, sure. But even if they are lying, they clearly have an agenda that started when the pandemic started and it’s working. They are buying more and more major companies from around the world to be the #1 economic power house in the world. They’ve also started aggressively reaching outside of their territory, against UN/NATO agreements. It also very conveniently stopped (or at least halted) the ongoing nuisance that is the Hong Kong protests.

    The fact that it affected China at all is the reason to believe the timing or the fashion in which this spread was the accident, otherwise, absolutely wanted global uncertainty which they have taken advantage of.

    And far as “worth it” and hair salons, that’s not what I said. It’s a risk surely but the risk of not opening is hurting way more people than the reward of achieving zero cases (which isn’t possible). I could give two s***s about hair salons for my needs, I’m talking about the growing number unemployment and their ability to work to not lose their businesses and homes.

    Although, some people do really like the government taking care of them. I suppose maybe the efforts of trying to get to zero is worth letting the government run everything. I’ve seen a long trend that they know what they’re doing and really care about the individuals. (Sarcasm)

    The people that want to scapegoat China will believe anything, it's pretty clear.

    We are talking about the alternative being the entire virus is a coincidence. It manifested in China, temporarily affected them, spread like wildfire, crippled a lot of countries, specifically the US, and then China started taking advantage of the coincidence.

    that’s about the story? And we all patiently wait this out hoping that people can financially recover or at least be content living off whatever the government is able to provide.
