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.

Yeah, lets spam posts as much and as quickly as possible to bury the posts taking Rava to task with his hypocrisy. It won't go away Rava, you will always be wrong.

Bro, even when I'm wrong, you are the least equipped to do anything about it. You hardly ever have a clue what you're talking about (and you're not any better off right now) so pursuing me just makes you look worse. Quit while you're behind and post some dumb memes or something.

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.
Yeah that's just called Hypocrisy. Your beliefs are your beliefs so long as it is convenient. You're ok to take 1,000 USD because you need it now. But when you didn't need it, you weren't ok with others having it, when they need it.

If this virus does get out of control, the mass deaths will be in the states with the most homeless and illegal immigrant people. So all the Democrat super majority states basically.

Not only will these people get the virus and die in large numbers due to the states not looking after them (despite being incredibly rich super democrat controlled states that could pass anything they wanted), they will spread it to everyone else and also more worrying will act as breeding grounds for the virus to mutate into more virulent strains.

It's entirely possible that all these Democrat super majority states end up being quarantined from the rest of the country due to the things I mentioned above. This of course being the worst case scenario.

Maybe the states run by "good party that cares" should do something about the homeless armies you have, now that it will impact the "normal" people.

you're looking at the correlation of the disease and deaths in the wrong way.
It is the elderly that have the highest fatality rate. Most people don't experience anything other than symptoms similair to the common cold. "80% experience mild symptoms".
Estimates are there are at least 10-15% of the population who have been infected with Covid-19, months ago, and are not even aware. That means they didn't even get sick, AT ALL.

The elderly, are the ones who experience strong symptoms, and of them only 4% are fatal.

Last time I checked, conservatives are mostly old people.

Socialism is choosing to do things because you think it's the best way to run a society.

Not socialism is doing things in reaction to wars or pandemics, during war the state takes control of the means of production. Nobody said that was embracing socialism because everyone knew it would end after these things were over.

Is this an argument for the American Healthcare system?
Do you enjoy your NHS in the UK?

This is a very interesting way to explain "social distancing"

I think this article is very interesting and well explained but i dont think it was honest when comparing city quarentine to house quarentine. In the former they purposelly open the walls before people are cured. I dont see how, in terms of eficiency, one will be better or worse than the other

How China defeated Covid-19 in Wuham, population of 60,000,000

1. Deployed the national communications company (entirely owned by the government)
- More than 1 billion 2-way SMS/day campaign launched 8 days after first Covid-19 case in Wuhan.
SMS campaign was an interactive questionnaire that asked the receiver questions about symptoms

Based on the outcomes of the answers the users provided, medical support staff were deployed to the location to take them to the nearest hospital.


2. Alibaba developed an App that was downloaded by all smartphones (China enforced this through their telecommunications company. The App hijacked your phone, you had no choice)
They tracked your movement, and the phone would send you a loud message and vibrate when you were coming close to an area where a covid-19 case was reported. In addition to this, your own color code changed from green to orange to red.
Those who's color codes changed to red, were told to go to a specific hospital. If they didn't arrive at the hospital within 2 hours, they were literally picked up, wherever they were, and escorted by police to the hospital.
So the App categorized areas as well as individuals. Within 4 days of launching it, the App also alerted you if you were coming in close proximity to someone else, who was either confirmed to have covid-19 or suspected of it.
to use public transport, enter public areas you had to show your smart phone with the color code, that also had a QR code that the public workers would scan and confirm your status with.
This was also used to quarantine people and monitor their adherence to it.

3. Pudu technology
deployed robots to deliver food to healthcare patients, workers, and the elderly + the quarantined around Wuhan. Also provided more than 5,000 robots to the government for sterilization of some public spaces

4.MMC micro multi copter
Drones - used to augment and upgrade the inter city supply chain. 10,000 drones were deployed on a daily basis to ensure the healthcare sector were adequately supplied. The internal inventory management systems of the hospitals were integrated with AliBaba's A.I technology to ensure stock was always available.
Drones were also deployed with loud speakers to launch public communication, observe quarantines, facial recognition because many who tried to violate the quarantines would leave their smart phones at home.

5.Kuang Chi Technology
Provided police and public security companies with over 250,000 A.I enabled smart helmets that were able to scan more than 110 people's temperatures per second with 25 meters, and facial recognition technology of somewhere between 15-20 faces per second. The helmets also communicated with each other for a radius of 5 miles. Meaning they were a neuronetwork. This allowed individual officers to recieve automated alerts that a covid-19 confirmed case was nearby, or approaching their area. The helmets would also automatically deploy protocol orders to the officers, given them instructions to follow a procedure they were trained on. The helmets would also auto-deploy healthcare workers to certain areas, in certain conditions. (I think it says 50 or more temperatures above 37.3, or 5 or more temperatures above 37.3 in the last 50 minutes)

6. Sensitime facial recognition tech
Deployed them all around fixed locations.

7.All the above data was fed into the state's super data warehouse where A.I automatically did things like redirect traffic, send out SMSs and all sorts of other stuff, as well as ensure adequate supply of food and pharma in retail.

#Skynet basically

What did your countries do?

Do you enjoy your NHS in the UK?

Do I enjoy the months long waits for hospital visits and knowing after that visit you will wait months again after?
Do I enjoy being thankful for the lowest tier of health care and being unable to object if it's poor or if you don't like the doctor offered?
Do I enjoy having no choice?

No not really, when I need to I usually go private because waiting months or years isn't a good thing.

The US has a better health care system, the only reason people like the NHS in the UK is a) because they are used to having a low quality health option for free (akin to free to play games over paid games) or b) they are young and don't really have to use it other than for having minor issues and don't know how bad it is when that is the case.
Fair enough. Sorry to hear that. Most Brits I know cherish the NHS. Maybe its just your area?
I was in York once and got sick. Was a student and very little money. On the 3rd day I forced myself to go to the ED because I suspected it was pneumonia (and it was).
I was afraid of being turned away. The opposite happened. I wasn't allowed to leave. 3 days later I was discharged.
Compared to my experiences in New York and Virginia with the US healthcare, that was a very nice treat and warm memory for me.
