Subject: What do you think of the coronavirus outbreak?

Me: Not much.

Honeyman: The Chinese are scum!

Me: That’s racist.

Racists: NO IT’S NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!

Fortunately Honeyman, who is not a racist, had no comment in your own story... nice writing skippy..

I would highly recommend that you do NOT obtain a flu shot, Bryce.

I'm sure the rest who let our bodies deal with will have a stronger immune response. Our immune system isn't all bailing-wired.

Just like the doctors who gave out chicken-pox shots are now dumbfounded that children are getting shingles a year later. Like that was an improvement, NOT!

Even if we are to assume the actual number of persons sick with coronavirus in China is 10x the actual reported number, that still means less than 1 in 50,000 Chinese residents have contracted the illness!

So, we are talking less than 0.002% of the population of China, even if the true figure of infected persons is 10x than the latest "official" figure!

The Chinese government loves the fact the U.S. media is willing to spread hype & hysteria over what so far has proven to be a fake epidemic. I'm sure the leaders in Beijing would love nothing more than for the U.S. stock market to take a dive thanks to the fake news they've helped peddle!

I can't believe the Chinese would be impressed with all the bad press they are getting.

While it is a small percentage of the Chinese population it is continuing to spread and it’s not just the media taking notice... so are airlines and the government in an effort to not spread it so it’s not a fake epidemic even if it is overblown.

Doctor that discovered virus harassed by police for leaking it, then gets the virus too...

It’s all those untrustworthy dang chinks’ fault, right? You make me sick, more so than the coronavirus.

Still tryin' to win an argument you lost badly on page 2, trollinlife?!?

[Honeyman]

trollinlife: Chinese government is trustworthy!

Honeyman: Are you a…..

trollinlife: Communist? Yes I am!

Honeyman: Makes sense, you abhor homosexuality and peoples freedoms

trollinlife: But I defend Chinks! One of my pretend graduate degrees comes in Chinese Studies when I went to school in Tokyo.

Honeyman: Uh….Tokyo is in Japan

trollinlife: What’s the difference, a Gook is a Gook!

Honeyman: Not really….

trollinlife: YES IT IS! YOU CAN TELL I’M MAKING A POINT NOW BECAUSE I’M USING ALL CAPITALS!

Honeyman: But you are still wrong…..

trollinlife: HOW ABOUT IF I USE A BUNCH OF EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!!!!!!!

Honeyman: No, you just make a bigger fool of yourself.

trollinlife: THEN HOW COME NOBODY DISAGREES WITH ME ABOUT THE SLANT EYES?!?

Honeyman: Probably because 75% of the board has you on ignore.

trollinlife: You make me sick!! I’m gonna go have some Chinese food….I love sushi!!!

Honeyman: Uh……..

If not for you obtaining the virus, but how about what it will do to the economy? Dow is about to drop 750 points today.

If it gets much worse and becomes a pandemic we’ll probably drop into a recession if nothing else because nobody can make anything because they are all sick. Trump is supposedly deathly afraid of exactly this before the election...

If this was mentioned already in this thread or another, I apologize for not seeing it.

China’s only Level 4 microbiology lab equipped to handle deadly coronaviruses, called the National Biosafety Laboratory, is part of the Wuhan Institute of Virology. This link is one of a few articles I've seen that says the source of the virus outbreak may be that laboratory, not far from the seafood market we have all heard about.
