Corona Virus, How Has It Affected Your Area So Far?

We have evidence of this in France. The pleb was all about insulting Chinese and as you may know, for the pleb, Chinese = Asians.
Now, it never got bad enough that "the usual offended by everything crowd" had to lead a campaign against it being labelled as something from China.

Unlike USA/NA, most people never called it "Chinese virus" here, ever, not even most people who are actually racist. And of the people who did call it this way, it had no racist meaning whatsoever, they used the same logic as the Spanish flu.
We mostly call it "Coronavirus" for the most lazy/pleb and "Covid 19" for the normal people.

All in all, there is a bigger problem at hand than "muh racism", you North Americans really don't have your priorities in check.

If journalists start reporting every time someone does something, doesn't mean people are doing it more often. Just that it's being reported more.
Also, the way you said that violence against Asians was somehow similar to violence to 5G towers sounded racist.

This is what I keep trying to say. Also, only Trump and Fox call it China Virus. Everyone else used to call it Wuhan Coronavirus. Until the CCP said not to and people submitted.

On what basis do you say it happened more?

That's even more racist.

it's because attacking another person is ALWAYS "more HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE" than attacking an inanimate object.

Now you're just saying things so you can have the last word.

You are figuring this out now?!?!

Ummmm:

Corona Virus, How has it affected your area so far?

Basic Logic - No.
You present a false dilemma fallacy as an argument. These are not the only two exclusive outcomes.
Both increased reporting, and increased occurrences could both be the case. Probability dictates that the opposite of what you said is true, due to the very nature of news, and context.
There is a lot more supporting evidence such as history and previous controversial political environments where minorities have been targeted, to give a healthy assumption what you are saying is wrong.

I was travelling internationally last month when this got bad and here near LA got hit pretty bad. Thankfully I didn’t contract anything and I’m technically in Orange County instead of LA county by about half a mile so I can skim past the worst of it and avoid their county lockdowns

Wife is sick though, so we’re quarantining her.

Well, here in the USA we got a certain kind of special who DOES believe that 5G towers are activating a dormant virus that's been spread through GMOs.

Hooray freedom of information- even the stupid information.

Fine, you're right. We're in the middle of a global pandemic and people are dying. But the most important thing to do is point the finger at others and call them racists, and argue over what side is doing a worse job handling the pandemic.
Feel free to keep doing that. I'm going to go plant a garden.

Didn't you know? COVID-19 is apparently racist now.

So says one of the major "network" news.

39 reported cases, 6 of which in my city

Also, my county is under "stay at home" orders. Which is ok because I'm retired and my job is basically fiddling on the computer all day.

Looks like my county had it's 1st death 3 days ago. Was a previously confirmed case, lady in her 50's. 3 of the 8 confirmed cases are said to be recovering.

The article mentions that she was confirmed, died in the hospital, and WAS NOT receiving treatment, so that is an odd detail. Doesn't say wether or not she was refusing treatment? Our local hospital is pretty notorious for shitty medical treatment though.

Edit: I have yet to go scouting the grocery stores for more supplies, this morning my work instituted a 2nd measure. Originally all non essential workers, who can work from home, were told to do so, at the same time a mandatory hand washing set-up right at the entrance. Now each day they are checking temperature, if you are running a fever you are sent home. I guess my social distancing is paying off so far. 98.6 baby!

Our case count increased to over 500 today, don't think any new deaths.

friend from the north east is sick ~ but his doctor won't test him but they think he has the virus :| i don't understand the thought process behind that

Another GLORIOUS Ironic case, definitely need a compilation when all this is over.

Is that just compared from yesterday? Or over the weekend?

If these numbers are accurate, confirmed vs. recovered, only 20%. That is not under control at all.

The kid who made that site is just a collection of all other sites up to date data. It's as accurate as it can be.

And clearly it's not under control in the slightest. This is still the theoretical apex week.

Idiots were holding mass yesterday. Short of literally shooting stupid people... it can't be contained.

Yea I believe that it's as accurate as can be. It's too bad we may never know the exact count. As someone said a couple posts up, the testing is not happening. I doubt all the deaths are getting counted also. I would bet at this point all countries are fudging some numbers to various degrees.
