So according to Quentin, every shooting is done by white guys right? Lol would love to ask Quentin, how come statistics say otherwise and are actually varied up to 2018? I guess he lives in his own reality, gotta love the Hollywood elites that’s never actually fact check first.


But on his ridiculous post I’d just ask him, ok where did the corona virus come from again? Which country?

That was actually his point. Mass shooting happens everywhere and those criminals could be anyone. Just like that virus could've started anywhere else as well. No need to call it Chinese virus or look down at Asian people like it's their fault.

Then why single out white guys? If it can be “anyone”? I’m not even white and I see thru his bs but it factually started in China, not just anywhere....calling it the Chinese virus or wu Han isn’t looking down it’s just a fact. People are seeing things well some people the wrong way. I was born in Mexico, if someone refers to tequila as “the Mexican drink” I’m not going to pull the race card because that’s where it originated. Know what I mean? I broke down this point in an earlier post regarding the whole Chinese virus aka corona virus aka co19. It just sounds ridiculous to me when we all know where it originated from and that’s China. Chinese implies from China I don’t see how that’s racist. If get Chinese food that would be racist too by the same logic, or do I ask them is this food of your culture? See what I’m saying?

I'm saying that was the whole point lol. I was just explaining what he meant as you clearly still don't understand. If you take it as racist or not I don't fucking care. :D
I understand fine but I dont believe you do lol. I dont take it as racist but he obviously does...lol it believe what you want bro lol. To sum up my point Tarantino's an idiot. That is all

There's no "politicizing it". By nature it's a political issue already. Overwhelmingly the response speed of government has influenced the extent of viral spread in each country. The POTUS lying about things repeatedly was a political act that irreparably hurt the effectiveness our response.
Oh it 100% has been politicized. Certain solutions are being made out to be partisan issues/solutions. It’s ridiculous

A friend of mine co-worker tested positive. But he said they won’t test anyone else unless they exhibiting symptoms. Mainly, if you don’t have a fever they aren’t gonna test them. What absolute fucking morons. You can have COVID19 and not show symptoms. Meaning you can still spread it!!
Yet the Bk Nets, including Kevin Durant, got tests basically IMMEDIATELY upon suspicion of exposure.

Profit over public health. The tests were readily available for companies (in this case the NBA and their franchise clubs) with enough money to buy them immediately, yet, people with symptoms can't get tested and are being sent home to self quarantine and potentially infect their entire families and anyone else they may encounter.

It just goes to show you that even in a crisis, the almighty dollar wins out. Never let a good crisis go to waste, right?

Yeah it's a real shame when people use a crisis for their personal gain as well as idiots out there that blame one single person like those who call it the "trump virus" or "conservavirus" like seriously? Regardless of politics any idiot knows its Chinas fault, period. Nobody should be blaming any American including the president for this, it's like the CDc and other doctors have said, "corona virus doesn't care for gender, religion, political affiliation etc it'll infect anyone"

Speaking of which I heard some stores aren't closing.
Disagree. When you take his actions as commander in chief as of mid January, his consistent record of shitting on and shunning scientific data, His penchant for hiring people into positions that have ZERO expertise but only are in his inner circle, his consistent lying over the entire issue to the american people as recently as last week, the man deserves criticism and heck yeah deserves blame.
We could be on our way to a SK or Singapore type turnaround if he didn't go out of his way to screw this up for the last 2 months.
But because of his lies on TV you have some out there not taking quarantine seriously and some even thinking the thing is a hoax.
You had people mass gathering at the beach 3-4 days ago, maybe if the leader of the country hadn't been lying to our faces since January that wouldn't have happened? USA is now a danger to the world as an EXPORTER of this virus due to our inaction over the last two months.

Yeah like we all have preferences and are attracted to different things.

Well for some I'm sure they'll use any excuse to be racist which is a door that swings both ways. I don't think trump personally is racist on the Chinese just stating well what it is a virus from china lol and to be fair the dudes wife is not even deom America by origin lol. I just think he hates china for what they did and honestly can you blame him? Politics aside I do to as much of the world right now I'm sure. Just think had china been honest with everyone months ago, not lied and covered this up how many lives could have been saved? Makes you wonder. I remember though with presidents and msm saying who's racists who's not obama pretty much made it clear he didnt like white people and would not address his mother being white....which makes you wonder. Mam of course was mum on this but trump "we should close the boarder and stop flights to china" omg racist lol. I'm not saying the guys perfect but you gotta admit the media is biased af with that shit. Like you said it goes both ways and all ways.

I do agree overall that the world should come together and work together on fighting and dealing with corona virus, however I also do not blame the world or those who deep down hate or are angry with china either, not because of their race or slinetc but because of their incompetence...

Yeah though while I dont agree with rand Paul and mitch did Nancy Pelosi also didnt help by initially as usual going against everything trump but few days ago but thankfully they came to an agreement before it went to the senate....in this time I think both parties need to think about all Americans and not their agendas. Know what I mean?
But a good amount of his supporters are racist. White supremacists love him. That's why he needs to be careful with what he says. I don't believe Obama was racist. People demanding his birth certificate was. And guess who did that? lol My point is Trump has not been great at bringing people together to put it lightly and civil lol And at times it seems like he does not want to. I don't think anyone is saying taking precautions and closing flights to China is racist. Even if people want to be angry with the Chinese government that should not extend to normal civilians. The handling of this is not their fault. Which is why people should stop being racists fucks. Nancy aided in the Families First bill, that republicans are delaying and that 40 of them opposed in the house....

This is the world we live in:


We need to stop shunning science and data. Taking pride in shitting all over science and ignoring expertise of others is a sign of a sickness in our society.

Hopefully a silver lining when all this is over is a huge influx of people interested in science, healthcare, health dept officials, and a subsequent huge funding for people seeking those career paths.

Expect there to be another total reversal once this is over. The lockdown measures they scoffed at appear to be working well (at least here in Virginia/DC area)- and because they're working well to keep infection spread low, they'll use this very effectiveness at limiting effects of the outbreak months later to say it was a "gross overreaction" or "unnecessary freakout quarantine". They'll go back to denying science the moment it no longer inconveniences them.

Yeah so his resposnes to it now are little too late and singing a spending bill of 8.3 billion it isn't really that smart sicne Bush did the same for Africa when they had an AIDS crisis. Granted, it didn't help Trump blame the media for overhyping Covid-19 and for the stock market taking a nosedive. But to be fair, people are just being idiots in general and you can't stop that. Trump or the media said nothing about toilet paper but you can't find it. They said nothing about Chinese being carriers of the Covid-19 but you got people beating Asian Americans and disinfecting them. People are just stupid sometimes.

That Imperial College report. Jesus fucking Christ, guys.
Yeah. This gets more and more serious every single day. I really wish I didn’t have to go to work. But, I’ve been keeping my distance from people and constantly washing my hands as well as using hand sanitizer in between. Luckily I don’t have to be close to anyone for my job, just 4 of us (including me). Also, now I don’t feel comfortable going to the grocery store!
