I was wrong about Covid 19, and you probably was too.

[Pogo]

You've completely backed yourself into a corner here. BY YOUR OWN EVIDENCE the speaker is "Harvey Dong". It says so right in the text. There's nothing you can do to change that. A newspaper (or radio, etc) does not publish only that with which it "agrees". Nor does THIS WEBSITE.

I never said I wanted to change anything. Try to pay attention. I said a radio is not a newspaper. You claim there is no difference. WaPo CHOSE to publish that crap. Then that crap is parroted by a radio that is an inanimate object. You don't address that fact nor apparently can you. The bottom line is...you are and were 100% wrong. The media called Trump a racist for calling the virus the Chinese virus. You have tried to slither out of that bullshit for many posts but you have only succeeded in making a fool of yourself.

Well, the name of the virus is novel coronavirus, and it causes covid-19 disease. Does that clear it up?

It's from CHINA. You know, like the SPANISH flu, the Hong Kong flu....we KNOW there is a scientific name so fucking what?

Well now you've got another problem. The "Spanish Flu" DID NOT come from Spain at all. You don't make your case for a dishonest name by quoting another dishonest name.

 

[Pogo]

Now you're just recycling my post with your name on them. Get this through your dense cranium --- IF "HARVEY DONG" WERE NOT THE AUTHOR OF THE COMMENT, THERE WOULD BE NO REASON TO EVEN MENTION HIS NAME. If Donald Rump stands in front of a mic and swears that his father was born in Germany and WaPo prints that he said that, IT'S RUMP'S WORDS, NOT WaPo. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF ATTRIBUTING QUOTES, SO YOU KNOW WHO THE FUCK SAID IT.

Good CHRIST!!

I'm not recycling anything, you are ignoring the fact that WaPo chose to publish outright lies. I am not saying they don't have the right, I am saying that you seem to not know the difference between a lying liberal rag like WaPo and a fucking radio. YOU made the comment. Not me. The rest of your post is nonsense.

Holy SHIT you just dig yourself deeper and deeper doncha.

I put this in Politics because if I put it in health, few will see it. As well as politics of this virus was clouding my mind in the same way it has clouded all of our minds.
As mentioned before, my son is a Respiratory Care Specialist at one of the nations leading Children's hospitals and my daughter is a Respiratory Therapist at a large metropolitan hospital/trauma center. When I say they are on the front lines of this, I mean they are on the front lines.
Up until Friday, I was not that concerned about getting it, or my wife or the two of them. Like most, I was comfortable in the knowledge that it is primarily a concern for the very old/folks with underlying illness.
That is no longer the case.
This weekend, all over the country hospitals are getting much younger patients that require life saving care - and they have no other illness. And the numbers you are seeing reported are not representative of the actual numbers. It is higher.
Like many, I scoffed at all of these restrictions the government was laying out. 4 states with "stay at home" orders. I thought this was over reacting.
Until I got a call from both my kids. Especially my daughter, upset and for the first time afraid and scared. "It is really bad here Dad, we are getting more and more and they are getting younger".
A 32 year old, who 48 hours earlier was at work, feeling a little funny. Last night he was on life support and fighting for his life. Add more to that. Kids also.

The situation is evolving. And it is changing in not a good way.
Take it serious folks. Don't wait until it effects you or someone you know. Change what you are doing now.
Thank God our government took this more seriously than we did.... I guess they knew more than us.




On a good note. The malaria drug is showing promise. Yesterday a 66 year old at the hospital was in critical condition on a breathing machine. He has received 2 malaria shots, is now off the machine and sitting up and talking. It isn't working for everyone, but it is clearly having positive results on some.

Now that virtually everything has become hyper-politicized -- an entirely self-inflicted wound -- it's getting tougher and tougher to separate reality from noise. It doesn't appear that even something like this has been enough to change our political behaviors.

I can certainly understand if some think we're over-reacting a bit. I know I've wondered about that. But there is enough evidence (such as yours) out there that we need to put our fists down for a moment and start using our heads.

The virus doesn't belong to any political party. It doesn't have a nationality. It doesn't care about human life. It just wants to replicate itself inside of you. We're all in this together, and the only way we're going to defeat it is if we all work together.

 

[Leo123]

So call it by its proper name. Why is that hard?

So fucking what? We can call it whatever we want. There is no 'name police'

Again, why is it hard to call it by its proper name? Is it because you WANT to call it the "Chinese Virus" for some reason?

Why? I'm not the one trying to make everyone call the virus by it's scientific name. That would be YOU.

We're down the rabbit hole now!

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master—that's all."

Well, yeah, at 1:00 in the morning? But my point is that words matter. I guess that you couldn't figure that out.

I mean, if it somehow makes you feel better to call the coronavirus the Chinese Virus, go ahead. But I don't think that will prevent you or your loved ones from catching it, either way.

 

[Leo123]

I agree words matter, the virus was from CHINA therefore a good name is the Chinese virus. Why hide that fact? Why call Trump a 'racist' for calling it that? It ain't 1:00 am here. Maybe you should go to bed? LOL

 

[Leo123]

ow makes you feel better to call the coronavirus the Chinese Virus, go ahead. But I don't think that will prevent you or your loved ones from catching it, either way.

I never said calling it the Chinese Virus would prevent one from getting it. Honestly, where did you get that from? LOL

I agree that it's not necessarily inaccurate to call it the Chinese Virus, but I would also argue that it's not necessary to do that. I don't think that calling it the novel coronavirus is hiding the fact that it came from China. I think almost everybody in the world knows that it originated in Wuhan, China. And I personally have not called Trump a racist for calling it the Chinese Virus. I don't think people should call it that, but if they do, that alone doesn't make them racists.

I didn't say that you made that claim. I was making fun of your desire/need to call it the Chinese Virus. The name that you call the virus (or the name that I call it) won't prevent either one of us from getting it. Understand? The virus doesn't give a damn.
