KenjiOgiwara Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 This has hit the world much harder than I thought, but have an iffy feeling this hasn't quite reached the US yet. Wonder how the financial markets will react and I wonder how well they can contain it when it's basically private across the board there. How will they contain and control sick people without medical insurance? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I was annoyed enough already that @wazzap24 had used my Wuhan Clan gag that I totally made up all on my own weeks ago (but had never found an opportunity to post on VT). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take empathy and emotion out of this (two key elements of being human) then from a survival of the species perspective maybe this isn’t a bad thing. It’s targeting the old and infirm, with all due respect that’s the two most resource sapping elements of our society. We all know we’re overpopulated, perhaps this is nature restoring some balance. Removing the country of the elderly and infirm? I think Pol Pot and Hitler shared similar views You could say the elderly and infirm are the people who have (probably) worked hard all their lives and now deserve to be looked after when they are at their most vulnerable. We are different from animals and don't discard our weak, unlucky and vulnerable. Thats why we have a welfare system, even though they could be described as "resource sapping" as well. On a different note, I was in work the other day and it was busier than ever. A lot of presentism going on I feel. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just offering a counter argument as its a point I have seen made quite a lot on Twitter and other places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
