Mar 19, 2020 A lot of diseases are named after locations, not all but Ebola (Ebola river near its origin), Lyme Disease (named for Lyme, CT), Zika Virus (Zika forest in Uganda), German Fever, West Nile Virus, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Rift Valley Fever....I'd be more pissed if I was Lou Gehrig
Mar 19, 2020 china deserve plenty of criticism. The culture they have with the animal markets are digusting & something like this was bound to happen eating animals alive.
Mar 19, 2020 You can be critical of China & not push racial resentment at the same time. It’s easy to just call the virus but it’s common name or scientific classification (coronavirus/COVID-19). This happened 10 min from my house. It’s something scientists have tried to push back on in the past decade or so. But yeah, unfortunately there is a history of racializing pandemics & diseases.
Mar 19, 2020 You think Trump really would go that low crossing out the name, replacing it with “Chinese Virus”? Wow that is pretty f---ing low if so. I wasn’t sure if that was maybe photoshopped. If it’s legit and trump was the one who crossed it out and wrote that, yeah that’s not only racist but just completely idiotic and disrespectful. I know you think I’m some Trump supporter, but I honestly don’t like the guy. The more time goes, the more I’m literally thinking about registering as Democrat now. At least Biden has political experience. I’m honestly starting to believe Trump envisions himself like a comic book figure. For example, saying “The Coronavirus is fake, to don’t worry it won’t touch ground in the U.S.” Like i could literally imagine Trump thinking in his head because he said that, the virus is way less likely to hit the US. And I get angry thinking he never even had to go to a real school or take real high school classes. I think his daughter normally checks his spelling on his tweets now, from what I read like a year ago. I doubt he ever even took a history class. He thinks he’s a genius because his daddy gave him a few million to start a business. Only tax cuts for the rich, f--- him. I’m getting tired of his s--- tbh.
Mar 19, 2020 Oh yeah and Trump at some rally during hurricane season last year, he was asked about dealing with the hurricanes. He said “we’re going to nuke them!!!” That was really worrisome tbh. Having Nuclear Waste all through the ocean would be a great way to k--- off life. You can tell he doesn’t know any basic science. I’m no f---ing scientist, but it’s sad seeing some people keep cheering and chanting after he yells “we’re going to nuke the big hurricanes” Sometimes when I was really bored, I’d half defend him just to argue. Because I enjoy debating.

Mar 19, 2020 Seriously staying indoors in basically the best thing to do. s----s getting wild. I hope everyone stays safe. Especially the fam around here
Mar 20, 2020 nobody like people going told you so. I saw this coming but f--- off with this type of s---
Mar 20, 2020 no one was downplaying the response that the government made. They were downplaying how deadly it was
Mar 20, 2020 Mayor of Atlanta signed an executive order yesterday limiting restaurants to takeout and closing bars/theaters/gyms/etc. Though I'm sure there are tons of undocumented cases, I'm glad we actually did something about it before it got as bad as Seattle, NY, etc.
Mar 20, 2020 The only option for alcohol are grocery stores that also sell beer but there’s no way to get liquor at all.
