I think you are in on it and are just proposing the opposite viewpoint to get the scent off you.

Ken Jeong Voice: Who gets to benefit from Coronavirus lockdowns? Essential BUS-I-NESS-ES. What's an (air quote) Essential Business (/air quote), tire stores. What isn't? Sporting Goods. Now all of a sudden, people can't rollerblade or bike to work because there ain't no parts for sale yo. What do they have to do? D-R-I-V-E. Which causes...tires to wear out faster. Who benefits? T-I-R-E B-O-B. CON-CLU-SION: Tirebob is part of the conspiracy.

Your fundamental flaw in this thought is you don't think closet racists are using this as an excuse to be racist publicly, which is obviously happening.
If you acknowledge there are idiots out there who are affiliating the virus with race, then why perpetuate the problem?

I am a bit weird on this subject.... Assuming most of us are not truly racist, why would we want to push those who are deeply racist into the closet? I would rather know exactly who I am dealing with when it comes to racists. Even better, go full Inglourious Basterds on it and carve it into their forheads... Basic approach being you can be as racist as you like in your views as far as I am concerned, so long as the rest of us can shut you down on your backward idiotic ways! Pushing them underground only creates a false sense of security. Now this backfires if everyone is really a closet racist and turns into Hitler V2.0 but I don't know if we could really end up there anymore. I might very well be wrong though...

tirebob, welcome to The Masked Singer.

Edit: oops, that was meant to follow-up from the Ken Jeong reference, lol.

American Pandemic Facemask:




Not that our own Country isn't RIFE with racism, especially toward our First Nations people, but let's face it - there is an imperial fuck-ton of unfounded racism happening toward any number of Asian folks down there and here at home. Changing terminology won't change the world but it might make a few people feel less like targets and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

In the end, that is just a benefit that comes out of this. Seeing people for who they really are.
But if racists remain closeted, this means they are afraid to express their feelings as they know the negative stigma behind it.

Ontario projection: 80k infected 1600 dead by end of Apr.

https://globalnews.ca/news/6773486/o...ber-modelling/

If scaled linearly, AB is going to have 20K infection and 400 dead by the same time frame.

Nice to see Amex and MC have increased contactless limits to $250 instead of $100. Visa announcement probably coming soon. Hope retailers can make the changes quickly as pinpads are probably high risk points of contact if they aren't cleaned regularly.

It was just a little over a week ago we were wondering when the numbers would hit 500k.

Is anyone else asking the question:


What else is going on here besides an over-hyped pandemic?

You answer it bro.
It's your one shot. One opportunity. To seize everything you ever wanted. In one moment. Would you capture it? Or just let it slip?

It came from China, thus it's called the Chinaflu or WuhanFlu, has nothing to do with race, religion or discrimination. We called diseases by origins up until the SJW and Snowflake Libtards got offended. Here is a pic of all the pandemic names https://2oqz471sa19h3vbwa53m33yj-wpe...graphic-22.jpg Should we start to rename them all because people are being offended? You can't stop people from discriminating, people have been doing it since the dawn of time and changing the WuhanFlu to the Covid19 won't stop anything.

So if we called diseases by origins, how do you explain (from your infographic):

Antonine Plague
Plague of Justinian
Black Death
Smallpox
17th Century Great Plagues
18th Century Great Plagues
Cholera 6
The Third Plague
Yellow Fever
Spanish Flu
HIV/AIDS
SARS
Ebola

None of which are named after their origin, certainly no consistent naming convention of origin either. Why go with Swine Flu for one, Bird Flu for another, and not Bat Pangolin Flu for this one? Naming disease after animals is just as old as naming them after countries that may or may not be the origin (i.e. cowpox).

Russian Flu wasn't renamed until later, because of the natural problem that comes with naming things after a general place of origin: Asiatic Flu, Asian Flu, Hong Kong Flu and Chinaflu makes things somewhat confusing, doesn't it?

Typically when things are named after a place, it was specifically to be discriminatory. Syphilis was called the French Disease by the English, and the English disease by the French. Pretty common with STDs. Not all that helpful in epimediology to have multiple 'origin' names based on xenophobia.

Then there's the long list of ailments that also weren't named after origins: Polio, tuberculosis (or 'consumption' colloquially but also clearly not a name of origin), measles (German measles, which is not the measles at all, was named rubella in the very triggered mid-1800s by the most SJW-libtard of institutions, the British Army occupying India), chickenpox, tetanus, rabies, whooping cough, bronchitis, etc. Seems like we don't use origin names all that often at all, really.

Spanish flu was only named after Spain because they were the only major country who didn't have a media blackout.

They are only afraid to express it in good company, so the tend to congregate more with their own and that is where the true danger lies... It is harder for them to hide if they are in plain sight.

Xenophobia and hate crimes existed way before this and calling something different on a random internet car forum isn't going to affect anything. This virus could be renamed to the EurotrashWhiteBoy-19 for all I care. Racist people will discriminate regardless of virus names, because something is called where it came from doesn't trigger me to go start beating on anyone that looks Asian. Token: "I have many Asian friends"

Corona beer is just nasty, nasty crap. I'm not shedding a tear if that piss goes under for good.

Discrimination is on the rise because of people like you Donald

Ontario shuts down portions of their construction industry. - https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toron...ests-1.5520192

Currently construction in AB is listed as essential. Will have to wait and see if other provinces jump on board with further lock down of essential services.

It's crazy to remember the china bump when they changed their counting of cases and there was a huge spike one day as a correction. It was a huge blip on the chart ... and now it's so small we can't even see that anymore.

Jared has arrived to save the day. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/03/polit...rus/index.html

"Today you're going hear from Jared Kushner, senior adviser to the President of the United States, but someone that the White House Coronavirus Task Force directed to work with FEMA on supply chain issues," explained Vice President Mike Pence. "And in recent weeks, he has been leading a working group, in conjunction with FEMA, that literally has identified millions of medical supplies around the nation and around the world. And we're grateful for his efforts and his leadership."
