    Quoted from Methos:

    Surprised that China hasn't come up with anything yet. They've had months.

    They don't invent things. They steal them.

    #478 4 years ago

    Integration and Invention are not the same.

    Quoted from jeffro01:

    hat's a staggeringly ignorant thing to say... Yikes...

    Single biggest perpetrators of technological theft in the world.

    Quoted from jeffro01:

    China and its people have invented a number of things this world takes for granted on a daily basis

    They have made Great Leaps forward.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    If China were in charge here, we'd be in about 10X better shape, and even the propaganda would make more sense.

    Nothing is keeping you from emigrating to the Communist Country of your dreams.

    Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

    The aking price on in hand R&M has dropped from 25k to 13k today.

    If we are compiling statistics, we can throw this one right off the pile.

    Quoted from happyhour1973:

    Some of the flippant attitudes towards this virus is startling and is the exact reason why it will probably linger longer in our country than any others. So much for social contract theory and taking care of one another in a time of crisis.

    It won't linger longer. It is here forever. A virus does not disappear.

    Quoted from zaphX:

    Have you lived through anything like this in the US? I haven't.

    You have, though. H1N1 was more widespread and had a lot more caasualties (to date). It just did not garner the same Media Attention at the time.

    And, people still get H1N1...just not to the same degree as when it appeared.

    A lot of people here have lived through more than that. That one is just one of the most recent examples, but a lot of the older gen here lived through the Polio scare as well.

    This too will pass.

    Quoted from flynnibus:

    I'm sorry, but is it the media that just shutdown all non-essential stuff in NYC and California in the last 24hrs?

    Nope.

    Only Governors that have aspirations of a higher, national office have made such severe calls.

    Quoted from zaphX:

    H1N1 mortality rate was 0.02%.
    CoronaVirus is 2%.

    Don't use numbers if you don't understand them

    H1N1 is corrected for known cases within the population.

    Kung Flu has not been corrected yet and won't be for several years.

    Also, 2% is an old metric and not supported through data. Latest estimates peg it closer to 1.5% and we still aren't correcting for known carriers that are not affected and those who have recovered and not been tested.

    Statistics are not for the mathless among us.

    Quoted from PanzerFreak:

    We are in the exponential growth period now.

    Again, people use that term without actually understanding it. It is certainly NOT spreading Exponentially right now.
    The numbers are nowhere near that kind of spreading.

    Could they get there, sure. But we are nowhere near there at the moment.

    Quoted from okgrak:

    So that’s their entire motivation for trying to protect tens of millions of people?

    Sole motivation, maybe not?

    But, yes. Humans are selfish creatures and Politicians tend towards the higher ends of the spectrum.

    If you think for a second that Gavin Newsome and Andrew Cuomo aren't positioning themselves for their Political Future, I've got a lot of stuff to sell you.
