It's nonetheless an important question to ask why indeed there are tens of thousands of deaths from the common flu regardless. I haven't looked into i...

Don't see why we can't throw all of them into a firepit.

The opposite has always seemed to me to be the case: enough time philosophizing, and idealism seems more and more incredulous - a sign that one has no...

Yeah.

Welcome to the forum and great first post! In some sense you're entirely right - you can cut up the world any which way you please, and no will be abl...

Yeah, the CCP obviously fucked its initial response too, to the extent that it was one of the few issues that had - for a time - people seriously upse...

The currently existing state of China begs to differ. That said, technically all capitalism is state capitalism, as Polyani pointed out long ago.

Yeah not like it's state capitalism or anything lol.

Uh-oh the troll is getting indignant keep it up everyone.

You were almost right. Our resident shit-for-brains has been sicced onto the WHO instead. We should take bets next time.

That's not true sometimes people are stupid and think otherwise - that's not necessarily capitalism's fault.

The virus however, is mindless. Which means Trump, who is failing miserably in his response...

Ah we got a wild one. Slurp slurp.

Agreed. All the more reason why the fact that nearly everyone was caught with our pants down on this needed more and more stringent measures to be tak...

I'm pretty sure he's MIA right now precisely because of the latter. Hillary might have tried to pay CV off and appoint it to a board somewhere.

I hope BoJo recovers, but I also hope he suffers to the utmost before he does. May prompt him to take it seriously.
