Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Nymzee]

Seriously mate all you are doing right now is justifying eating, kittens and dogs. Good on you. Fair play. Let alone the vast amount of wild animals that have no business being on anyone's table.

I hope you're a vegetarian to suggest this.

Nope. I've been a vegetarian for over 30 years. I've also spent a lot of time living and working across Asia and have lost count of the times I've been in one of these types of markets whether they be indoor in a huge city or on a dusty street in the mountains. With respect you are making a lot of noise here without really knowing what you are talking about. But I suppose you're making yourself the centre of attention to some extent so well done for that.

They eat dogs and cats. Apparently something called pangolians, maybe some kind of ant-eater. And believe if you torture the animal first is tastes better.

Yeah I'm checking out on that. But have it. I don't want our manufacturing anywhere near such medieval practices. And certainly don't think we should be held to ransom.

Pull out. Look for better alternatives.

I know it's massively hypocritical but seeing dogs rammed into cages like that is absolutely heartbreaking

Carefully tread, many cultures are just as uneasy at us westerners eating Cow Pig Turkey shellfish etc.

Cummings has coronavirus symptoms.

Deep down I’m laughing my titties off.

Damn, that means it's crossed the species barrier again. What are we gonna do now?

 

[SpongeBob brown shoes]

Dominic Cummings with symptoms, I'm sorry but
Hahahaha

Never mind self isolating Dom we've got an economy to think about

 

[The binman chronicles]

Did he get it on purpose for herd immunity reasons?

Well mate there is strict protocols on how we humanely dispatch our meat. Boiling them alive in oil isn't one of them.

Wouldn't surprise me if the boffins have given Johnson and Cummins one individual spore of the virus. I've heard how mild you get it depends how long you were in contact and how much of a dose you recieve so they have been carefully managed to ensure they don't get a bad case of it....unfortunately.

Happens to chickens, cows, pigs etc in this country and every other. Only difference is the value we place on certain animals. Not saying it’s right, just saying we do the same. Have to be careful where this goes. As some of the comments on Chinese eating habits come across as racist generalisations to be honest.

I wouldn't put it past him that he's just pulling a sickie as hes found out the crap has hit the fan for his herd immunity theory, gets to lay low for a few weeks and try and get sympathy from the tory hardcore

"Lobsters and other shellfish have harmful bacteria naturally present in their flesh. Once the lobster is dead, these bacteria can rapidly multiply and release toxins that may not be destroyed by cooking. You therefore minimise the chance of food poisoning by cooking the lobster alive.

That’s great for us but what about the lobster? It has been argued that lobsters do not possess a true brain and so can’t feel pain. It is fair to say that they are not self-aware in the same way that we are, but they do react to tissue damage both physically and hormonally, so they are obviously capable of detecting pain on some level. In fact, the hormone that they release into the bloodstream, cortisol, is the same one that humans produce when hurt. But the most visible sign of distress is the twitching tail, which evolved as an escape reflex".
