Many have likely flown over bodies being thrown into pits on their way to a fine and fun surf vacation.
I am a flippant bastard, true, and horrible. Fallen, callous, an asshole to the nth degree and deserve all the scorn I’ve been dished plus so, so much more.
Unforgivable.
Empty.
A surf journalist.
But this Coronavirus Apocalypse, this End of Times, will either be the hill we traipse over or the hill I die upon.
Many furious emails, messages, DMs regarding my flippant bastard position even though I myself am isolated.
Not surfing. Shut away in protection of others.
But I’m banking on the former.
That this will be a hill we traipse over then some of us will, should be embarrassed.
Now, let’s look.
Let’s think.
Worldwide death toll from China’s Great Gift is currently at 20k though climbing. Each a tragedy.
Each a travesty but would you like to know how many people died in Yemen during the last few years?
The vast majority equally innocent and from deaths much more traumatic?
Children by the wheelbarrow full?
Very near 200,000 in “directly target attacks” many more including starvation, lack of medicine, lack of care and lack of care.
A tragedy/travesty beyond scope yet so very few agitated people who screams about “self-isolation” and toeing that line knows or cares.
Many have likely flown over bodies being thrown into pits on their way to a fine and fun surf vacation.
So what?
Does death only matter when it potentially touches someone we know?
Does it matter only when our western hospitals are theoretically being overrun?
Tell me, please.
I’d love to know.
you can’t predict it. You may be right, but you may be wrong. Don’t be like Bill Gates thinking that you can predict the future dude
So it was serious already? And now? I get the feeling you don’t want to answer the question, loaded as it is.
Yeah I hear ya, but we can’t all live in Yemen
But we can dream. And I’m beyond curious… you mean it?

Now 1700. 18000 new cases in one day
Can’t compare it to the flu anymore…if we acted on this as we do the flu…ie…did nothing…holy fuck
Am all for highlighting Yemen or any other of the worlds great disasters…but no need to do that in order to minimise this crisis. Poor form
Oh man……. what if I’m maximizing Yemen’s crisis?
Now you are just trying to confuse me…I am a man of very low intellect, please don’t complicate things!
Genuinely hope you are staying healthy buddy
Dr Rodeo:
Heard herd immunity really works because an emergency room nurse told me. Gosh, anecdotal proof is so persuasive. Also fuck everyone who’s actually of use.
Is that about right?

Blame it on the boogie.
In space Noone can hear you count
People do stupid things.
Just in
Right leaning thinkers proven to be more optimistic than lefty doomsdayers
On almost every single subject.
Highly likely an underlying depression is common amongst leftys
Just my observation
Get some help.
More optimistic usually equates to less informed in my experience
But generally a more enjoyable experience
I looked first time. Closed cases yes its 45% but its the 86,498 open cases and where they head is of more interest to me.
The important thing to look at is the curve of new cases. It’s increasing exponentially in the States. The problem’s getting bigger not going away
Disqus Bots marked it as spam guessing its just the link.
Bill and Hilary?
Don’t teach your kids history LGR.
I applaud the painstaking efforts of Tom Fitton at Judicial Watch.
Me thinks any thought Hillary may have had to weasel her way into the Democratic nomination just got nuked.

Just out of curiosity. As this is just getting started, what is your benchmark for it be considered serious? 10 000 deaths in the US* over one season, 100 000, 1 000 000?
* clearly the >15 000 deaths in Europe up until now don’t elevate it to that level
That’s of the tested!!!!
Wake up australia
That’s a slap to the face of the know it all death mongers round here.
As testing increases, death rate will keep dropping. Also, regarding Italy, their own health officials are admitting their numbers are juiced. Why? The way they report cause of death. Quoting on Italian I read, “If you die in a car crash and postmortem test positive for Corona virus….you died of Corona virus.” Here’s a common scenario: Elderly with multiple underlying conditions like Cancer die and have been very close to death for weeks or months who then die and, then are tested for Covid 19 after death and test positive. Death not attributed to Cancer, but to Covid 19.
That dosent fit the narrative for the over reactors
So the popular saying is wrong after all and two wrongs do, in fact, make a right?
Thanks for clearing that up old sport.
I’m saying your lack of care for Yemen negates your care for Coronavirus. So two wrongs make a nothing!
i think what you are doing is “whataboutism” “Whataboutism, also known as whataboutery, is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent’s position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument. It is particularly associated with Soviet and Russian propaganda.”

Just admit you don’t give a shit. It’s more honest.
Sorry, forgot there’s no right in nihilism.
This is some performative-ass shit, my man.
