PANic + epiDEMIC = PANDEMIC!
By Pantafernando 2020-03-18 16:56:22
Today might be a scary day. Covid-19 isn't that scary but the way people are reacting is terrifying. Don't panic.
Thats impossible.
Suddenly rise a golden rule everyone who dont comply with their random and weird solutions became a trash.
The fearmongering is more dangerous that the virus itself. People dont need a second thought to insult others that question forced quarentine or the disease.
Im sick of those guys. I dont know who started this mess and who patronized all this advertisement but one thing for sure, they managed to get the humanity by its balls. Impressive how the society just got demolished because some random disease. Nothing to justify people stopping work stopping daily activity, quarantening sick and healthy people alike. Being sick till proven healthy is like being guilty till proven innocent.

In an office (white collar) job you are very almost exclusively on a salary in the UK. Blue collar jobs are wages typically.
Salary = paid sickness
Wage = not paid
Typically.
That’s typically how it works here, but there is a noticeable grey area where it can go either way. I’m only guessing at this point, but that might have something to do with our unions? Some people really like the hourly wages because they can rack up overtime like nobody’s business, and salaried employees can be exploited to work extra hours without due compensation.
I’ve done both and I prefer salary, but that’s mainly because of the flexibility and security, and it’s very rare that I have to work extra in my position anyway.

Both can be true.
Socialism doesn't seem to be doing well...have you seen Bernie out saving us...I didn't think so.
He could probably die if he shook hands of anyone near him.

Yeah, it’s great for memes, but socialism isn’t a black and white issue. I can be anti-socialism and still be okay with a temporary stimulus just like you can be pro green energy and still take flights on airplanes. Rarely is anybody 100% all in with this kind of stuff.

You're right, those 2 scenarios are exactly the same.

Not everything is terrible gas prices are at a record low.
You could go to one of those socialist countries and get medical treatment.

Because I totally said that they were the exactly the same thing. Way to miss the point by a mile and a half.

I didn't miss your point, I disagreed with it because it was absurd. Bad analogies are bad.

Typically. Some office workers are salary here. Some service sector jobs are contracts which are neither.
... Impressive how the society just got demolished because some random disease. Nothing to justify people stopping work stopping daily activity, quarantening sick and healthy people alike. Being sick till proven healthy is like being guilty till proven innocent. Look at the history of the Spanish flu of 1918.
Btw how is the other countries? Here people says italy is in a dramatic situation. I would like to read if thats also the italian pov about this Korea pretty good, lowest death rate, MASSIVE* and early testing. Italy worst after China. We are talking % not numbers. Haven't seen the local Italian here in some time.
*Korea has been testing 20,000 people a week for months, as of monday the US has tested a bit over 14,000. Total.

There is no analogy that compares two things that are "exactly" the same. That's the point of an analogy. If you didn't miss the point, it means you understood the analogy. Mission accomplished, stop whining.

That was a horribly illogical analogy, missing the mark by miles. Not very statisticianal of you. Yes, another opportune moment to share my new word once again.

Way to not even attempt to refute the point that I made with my "horribly illogical analogy". I guess you're... moving the goalposts?

'Exactly the same' was exaggerational satire, if something like that whooshes by you, I don't know what else to say. Oh, and there is another one for that Oz dictionary you are building, exaggerational.

It's best that you don't know what else to say, because none of it makes any sense to begin with. And keep avoiding my original point, it's certainly helping your case.

That's the biggest irony, it wasn't your point to begin with. You commented on the meme that I posted. You then altered the point of the meme, the original one, the cried boohoo when I didn't follow the goal post that you moved. And you said that I was whining? lol...you paint yourself into that corner time and time again. It's fun to watch.

Nope, still making no sense. Maybe stick to the terrible memes. At least they make Chanti happy.

Nostalgiaception with a nostalgic 90s movie that was in itself nostalgic for the 60s with characters that were nostalgic for a baseball player from the 10s-30s.
