Coronavirus Outbreak

[nullius]

Declaring War on the coronavirus would be largely symbolic, although it may make China and the CCP uncomfortable. It could allow countries to take over factories to produce certain goods (I don’t think this is needed right now, but it may be if there is a shortage of medicines and antibiotics). It would also send a signal to citizens as to how serious the situation is to get citizens to adhere to recommendations that should help slow the spread of the virus.

Lockdowns and unlimited State of Emergency powers as the new normality are not “recommendations”.  In this context, a “symbolic” declaration of war could only segue existing irrational, cowardly panic into full-blown war hysteria—a game at which the Americans are history’s great grandmasters.  And isn’t the People’s Republic of China supposed to be the Communist country—the one with stock exchanges?  How would boob-bait propaganda, which the PRC government certainly understands, somehow make them uncomfortable in a situation in which American domestic policy turns towards state control of private enterprises, as it seems you are suggesting?

By the way, America failed to totally forbid travel to and from Africa during the 2014 Ebola outbreaks.  That would have been rational.  Now, they are declaring war and implementing effectual martial law in places because of coronavirus?  Seriously?

OT/ some argue that the Cold War was actually WW3. There were a number of proxy wars during the Cold War so that no two nuclear powers were fighting each other and there was the arms race.

US and USSR were never anything but friends, beneath the surface.  Blowing up and bleeding out other people all over the world in “proxy wars” was aught but a game of golf between friends who are very competitive.  Edit:  I should add that it was much more convenient for Oceana America to be perpetually at war with Eurasia, than to fight hokey made-up wars such as the War on Terror, and now the War on Plague—not to mention all of the American domestic Wars (Drugs, Poverty, etc.).

I (don’t need to) wonder how many people realize that America has a long history even in its domestic policy of implementing Marxist policies under other names.  This does require a populace which habitually confuses labels for substance.

As for US-USSR being distinct without difference—why yes, I think you’re right.  They’re evil twins.

As for Vitamin D (Sun),
An estimated one billion people worldwide are either vitamin D insufficient or deficient
Blood pressure pills (ACE inhibitors) may be making people die from Coronavirus

Several observational studies, which track participants over time without assigning a specific treatment, have associated low vitamin D levels with greater susceptibility to acute respiratory infections.

On second thought, the prescribed treatment was ineffective.  To cure your condition, you need a megadose of Vitamin “D”:  TURN ON YOUR COMPUTER, AND TAKE IT INTO THE BATHTUB WITH YOU.

In the Pacific NorthWest a plant called poison oak can be used.  I've heard of it happening...and I'm sure the victim would have wished they had used prickly pear cactus instead.

"Chinese Tycoon Mysteriously Disappears After Criticizing Xi's Virus Response"

[OutOfMemory]

So there was Hitler, born in Austria, infected almost the whole of Europe.
Today there is Tyrol, infecting half of Europe with SARS-CoV-2.

Sad but true, people infected in Italy, working in the ski resorts and apres ski bars of Tyrol (Austria), infecting other staff, in turn infecting many europeans on vacation.
Turns out as one of the main hubs for spreading the virus. Iceland warned first,after a group of skiers went sick right after flyingo home. Tyrol's officials tried to calm everybody down, said they must have been infected at airports. This was about two weeks ago. Today they closed down, were quarantined last friday. Tried to contact 500+ of known tourists so far, out of many more. They all returned home within the last few weeks, to sweden, norway, germany, netherlands, france, spain...
I feel ashamed.

EDIT: And angry.

The virus will not be responsible for the economical and financial breakdown that is about the come. People's arrogance (mostly the West) is responsible for this.

You don't know what i meant.
It's the fact that misery is spreading from my motherland because of political failure (again).

[tvbcof]

The virus will not be responsible for the economical and financial breakdown that is about the come. People's arrogance (mostly the West) is responsible for this.

Certainly 'the virus' will be advertised as being responsible.  If the thing was a deliberate release I've always felt that one of the primary goals would be to scapegoat a possibly overdue collapse of the economic system so that people won't blame bankster malfeasance for the event.

Better a pandemic then a war which is what is typically used.  Especially a pandemic which is largely 'virtual' and exists primarily in social media.  Of course it isn't to late for both.

Exactly.
The virus will be held responsible for some ugly events which are to be triggered yet.
You can argue the same way that Hitler didn't start the war, it was the bad economy, the germans that voted for him/the nsdap (his party)...
That comparison with Hitler is hard to understand for people that have no german or austrian background. Quite some people that supported his regime actually came off unharmed and own some of the biggest businesses/companies until today. The mindset did not disappear in some thin air. But that already goes far out of scope of the topic.
Never mind, i should have made better use of my brain before making that comparison.

It is kind of a war and increasingly more governments make war like preperations and language usage of it. Where will the "War on the Plague" take us?

I have a high level of confidence that this is a bioweapon, and will lead to open war. Even if it isn't, it looks like it, and that might be enough to ignite tensions.

Either way, it came from china. So did the spanish flu, the plague, and even the yearly sniffles. And they are trying to blame the US for it.

It is my opinion that china must be destroyed.
