Coronavirus - the new pandemic

[clearspira]

Boris Johnson is out of the ICU. *sigh*

Still wishing death upon other human beings, eh?

Do you know what a sociopath is?

[Mecha82]

Too bad that he lives while those that he infected in his stupidity might die.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you the people, who want to bring us into a better future...

The world's full of people I wish had never been born, and a lot more I'd just like to go back to the background and have no influence on anything at all. Quite a few I'd even laugh at getting humiliated. Several I'd certainly shed no tear over if they did die. But to want someone dead it's either got to be for very serious, very personal reasons, or you've got to be off your rocker yourself and out of touch with decent humanity.

Okay, I said I wanted to shut up on this, and I mean it, but... please don't get mad, anyone. There are some very evil people out there. People that turn your stomach on a visceral level to where you FEEL as if you want to kill them. But in the end, I... I think I'd prefer to see them in jail, for life. Or if death is needed, to see it administered by a judge and a panel of peers. No one gets that kind of punishment they deserve, mind you. But it would be nice if they did. Don't mean to offend anyone. I just want to give my thoughts. I don't hate anyone here. Peace to you.

When Margaret Thatcher died, "Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead" rose to the top of the charts through sheer volume of call-in requests. If I am a sociopath, then I must be in good company.

You see somebody wishing death on another for a "political disagreement". I see a man who, through a mixture of malice and incompetence, made sure that lots of other people died unnecessarily from a horrible disease, getting hoisted by his own petard. You shudder in horror at my abstract ill-wishing and turn a blind eye to his real-world actions that get lots of real people killed.

So, you don't understand the difference between "good riddance" (as unpleasant as that can be) and "hope you die", you claim malice without any justification, and incompetence (a subjective claim anyway) deserves death. Bloody hell you're a nasty piece of work, ironically enough just the type of person you hopes meets an unpleasant end.

Is the bone of contention here my attitude, or my standard of evidence? Be clearer.

In other news, we have concentration camps full of people without access to cleaning supplies or doctors, through which Covid19 is ready to go like shit through a goose. https://theintercept.com/2020/04/12/coronavirus-ice-detention-jail-alabama/

Oh right, those are still thing during this pandemic. Those are very much time bomb ready to explode but Trump supporters don't seem to care about that either.

But... aren't the populations bigger? What is the difference?

That was my first thought. The viral nature of it I think though doesn't make it so clear.

It's outbreak from the first day, so I'd think they follow the same logarithmic scale a little more closely, but America has a ton of more populated areas than those places combined in terms of major cities at least. So it's like, even if they start at the same time, you have potentially a bunch of different pools that are gonna take off as it spreads to every major city in the US.

With the exception of Canada all those countries have significantly higher population density than the US.
