Summary

The article discusses the controversy surrounding the origins of the Coronavirus, the global response to the outbreak, and the societal impacts including racism and misinformation.

Abstract

The Sunday Mail has sparked debate by suggesting that the Coronavirus may be artificial, citing a timeline and potential accidental transfer from bats. The article contrasts with coverage from the Guardian, which is accused of bias and sensationalism. With around a tenth of the world's population under some form of quarantine or restriction, parallels are drawn to Bill Gates' predictions in a TED Talk about a necessary reduction in population for environmental reasons. The article also touches on the plight of Pawat Silawattakun, a Thai national who claims to have been a victim of xenophobic abuse due to the virus. Additionally, it criticizes the use of lawsuits as a means to distract from governmental blunders, using Canada as an example. The piece ends with a mention of President Duterte's colorful response to the virus and the potential spread in India, while also noting the economic impact on figures like Jeff Bezos and the implications for the Green New Deal.

Opinions

  • The article implies that the Coronavirus may have been artificially created, questioning the official narrative.
  • There is a critique of media bias, particularly against the Guard

Creating the Coronavirus

The Sunday Mail broke the fourth wall today, when they ran with a story that the Coronavirus is artificial.

Yes, yes, I know they phrase the headline as a question; but for a dwindling band of folk who don’t read the headline then go to the comment section to give their opinion on what the body of the piece should say; the article does hit all the right notes. It explains the bat connection, gives a plausible explanation of how the disease was accidentally transferred, and it creates a timeline. More importantly it points a finger: if a somewhat crooked one.

Sliding Walls

In contrast the racists at the Guardian have fused the electrics in their offices, so hard have they cum in their collective wet-dream at finding the first ‘hate crime’.

Currently around a tenth of the world’s population is living in quarantine, or under restrictionwhich is oddly the figure Bill Gates (who in no way is connected to this virus) gives in his Ted Talk as a reasonable starting point for the cull of humanity required to usher in the bright new dawn of the Green Death Cult…. and those people happen to be Chinese.

If you follow such things, you know that a common way to hide a story is to sue someone, or charge them with a crime. Law courts are handy things for lobbyists. They offer drama, encourage onlookers to pick sides, and they set a narrative… it’s a practice as old as time, and was very popular in Rome: playing an important role in the patronage system.

Therefore when a government… let’s use a random example… let’s say, Canada drops a bollock it is handy to drag some poor sap before the courts as a distraction. It’s just how it works.

Anywho..

Enough with the serious stuff, let’s get onto the tragicomic tale of Pawat Silawattakun. ‘Oh how beastly,’ you say, ‘how could you diminish the suffering of the brave Mr Silawattakun (who isn’t even Chinese) (which makes it all the worse).’

No one doubts that Mr Silawattakun got mugged, it’s rather that the article tries too hard to make the case that the assault was linked to Coronavirus. For instance

Silawattakun, who moved to England to attend boarding school in Surrey before reading chemical engineering at Cambridge, was despairing. “Statistically, you’re more likely to find an Asian doctor that will cure you than to find an Asian guy who will infect you with coronavirus, but this xenophobia is being taken out on all east Asians. When there was an Ebola outbreak a few years ago, did you get the public shouting ‘Ebola!’ at every black person on the street?””

No, no they didn’t Mr Silawattakun but….

Amusingly: given that you know (being an intelligent and informed person) the Thai government has in recent days urged the WHO to declare a pandemic, because the virus is spreading, and they admitted a week ago that they were struggling (so much so they threatened to kick out foreigners): the article continues

Silawattakun said his parents had flown from Thailand to support him.”

Yeah about that…. statistically the chances of someone with a busted nose catching the … erm …. flu … there’s no point reasoning with a martyr

Oh yeahI forgot… “racism is the real virus”….

Someone not swooning on a couch, in the noble cause of ‘race-baiting’, is President Duterte of the Philippines, for he as declared, “ You know, if we can’t handle this fucking coronavirus, I’ve been looking for it, because I want to slap the idiot.” That’s the spirit… if only Mr Duterte had Ant Man powers he could save us all.

For the cautious, and probably racist (who isn’t these days?) among you, you might want to consider adding Indian to the list of restaurants that according to Dimension B you are avoiding. For Nurgles loveall hail Nurgle and his agent of change Greta…. has begun to take hold in the sub continent. With 17 confirmed cases in New Delhi…. off the top of my head, a week or so ago, India had 8900 suspected cases, and cancelled visas to anyone who had visited China after Jan 15th… racists

Spare a thought for poor Jeff Besos. Last week he sold off $4billion of his shares, and now faces ruin… perhaps the Kindle market in Sasquatch lesbian porn will save him.

But don’t fear because entire families are being wiped out in China…. it’s all going to plan (just as soon as we get the solar panels and batteries from China) for the Green New Deal.

Oh yeah… about that report in the Mail…. well it turns out China knew what was going on as early as January 5th

It’s only flu
