Soooooooo..... Eating animals caused this whole debacle?

Way to go all you animal eating assholes..... Fucking dweebs

it says "or laboratories" in the highlighted text

With hundred of billions invested and a lab in the outbreak zone that really should not be eliminated as a source.

The one thing that people need to stop doing is virtue signalling on the idea that shutting everything down is a harmless sacrifice that simply saves lives. Our global response to this is actually going to kill a shitload of people for various different reasons. The truth is that it's going to 'save' a lot of people that are about to die anyway, and it's going to kill or ruin the lives of a lot of people who would otherwise be unaffected by the virus and who would have had long lives ahead of themselves. It's ethically complicated.

I obviously now agree with the shutdowns, because at this point it is very much needed to prevent excess deaths. But that needs to be the main consideration - at what point are we on balace saving healthy people from an overwhelmed health system and at what point are we on balance killing healthy people by focusing too much attention on coronavirus? People are going to die no matter what you choose, so you need to choose wisely at the right times.

'We breathe in poison': Why the Po Valley is one of the most polluted places in Italy

"I can really feel when there's smog, I suffer all winter long," 45-year old Milan local Fabio Cigognini told AFP, describing the asthma-like symptoms which plague him during the cold months.

"We breathe in poison, but no one tells us anything," he said.

Set against the mountains, far from the ocean and cleansing sea breezes, Italy's major northern city and the Po Valley have always been at a disadvantage, climate-wise. But with air pollution at "alarming" rates - among the highest in Europe - local authorities have turned to a combination of tactics to help the city and the valley breath again.

"The Po Valley is very unhappily situated for atmospheric pollution in terms of climate and geography," says Damiano Disimine, head scientist in the Lombardy for Italy's environmentalist lobby Legambiente. "Wind is rare and there are frequent and prolonged episodes of climatic inversion. This means that the air is colder in the plains than in the mountains, and is still," he said.

so you actually watched the video?
If so I am impressed.

Seems people have become addicted to the fear and panic.

Very interesting to observe.
