Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Ok, I will just use the many Halal sites we have all over the country then.

Which are all very rigorously controlled. ( the official ones )

No matter how you try to dress it up, we don’t have anything like wet markets in this country.

Killing animals is human nature.

It is. I don't think it's human nature to let any animal drain to death. But it's 'culture'.

And before you have a dig, I'm veggie, innit.

I know it's not really pretty for any animal to be killed in any way.

Anyway, besides the point.

No one said they did it on purpose.

"How do I know [the Chinese didn't start it on purpose]?" was the question put to me. Which is a ridiculous comment to deal with as it implies guilt....for a virus that damaged the Chinese also.

Cos we try and tell ourselves that battery farming chickens is what civilised nations do.

They caused SARS by doing the exact things they did with COVID. Ie allowing wet markets to carry on unchecked and allowing animal viruses to jump to humans.

It's like someone who drives at 100mph and gets busted for it... but does it again and kills someone.

Global warming...is that solely down to the British because of the industrial revolution?

You're a clown.

 

[BlueToff]

What is it you're saying then? They obvioulsy didn't start it or cover it up to gain an advantage in world trade. They may be booming again now, but they went into a slump not seen for 4 decades in the Chinese economy with Covid19 by early 2020.

I just dont get what you're saying. It's the same vague pointing of fingers at China we get a lot of on here and elsewhere.

It's landmass was the source of the outbreak. Yes. And?

Wet markets are an issue in transmission of virus? Yes. And...they're all over south east Asia.

I believe they attempted to cover up the seriousness of it, and that is proven by the subsequent arrests or disappearings of whistleblowers.

I blame them for that.

I think the culture of wet markets is pretty disgusting and given their history of disease maybe there should be an aim to get these countries to be less reliant on them? Appreciate these are some very poor people, but China is the world's second-largest economy, and is extremely advanced in a lot of ways.

Ask the staff at Raymond James Stadium how they did it on Sunday

Half of that crowd were health care workers who have delivered the vaccine in the US; I think we can rely on them to behave themselves and act responsibly in terms of the virus.

A typical football crowd or music crowd? Pfffft!

Then you dont solely blame China, do you? Given that umpteen countries have a culture that trades in wet markets all over that continent.

You know and I know what this is: a cold war attack. Pure and simple. And it's a problem because it maximises mistrust when we need global cooperation. Just stop doing it. Stop your own contribution to the poisoning of the well.

Not of the exotic animal wet markets but we have farmers markets and seafood markets which you can class a wet market.

7,500 were health workers, the other 18,000 were fans of the Chiefs and Buccs as well as guests and family of the players, coaches and owners

There were 7,500 health care workers there and they had all been vaccinated. Isn't the whole argument that we can have these sort of events once people have been vaccinated which is what people are suggesting here?

It was 14,500 fans + hangers on.

But that stadium has touchless facilities for entry, catering, toilets etc. How many of our stadiums are that advanced?

So, I ask: generally, how do you put on a safe event for 20,000 people?

Doesn't look good for ole FB92's summer holiday

I`ve been a veggie for over 30 years because of my views on factory farming, you don`t have to convince me

It doesn't matter. You can be vaccinated and still transmit infection to others inside and outside the stadium.
