SARS II: Respiratory Boogaloo

when is it bad to review the source? He has a point. We should try to back up what we say with a path to the information that founded it. Maybe his source is a good place to get information and we want to hear more from them.

"If it was so innocent, why did they try to classify it?"... the "perfect" phone call with the Ukraine? Or meetings to discuss coronavirus?

Well, in this case the latter, and lack of security clearance (note even Jared "more foreign entanglements than Pornhub's Exotica section" Kuschner gets one of those) is preventing some folk who really should be in planning meetings from being there:

The meetings are being held in SCIFs (Sensitive Compartmentalized Information Facilities) , which is definitely not normal practice for non-military or intel-based discussions.

Here now shut up about this

Eh, they'll still bitch.

A little comparative history for perspective:


Coronavirus and Spanish flu: economic lessons to learn from the last truly global pandemic

The figures I've heard here in France are about 15% who require hospitalization.

What's this about?

White House ordered coronavirus meetings classified

12 months from now sound like a Utopia:
Survivor on cbs cancelled
South by Southwest deemed a waste of time
Fat trimmed out of government for redundant employees
Trump gone
Lots of Boomers not annoying me on Facebook
Working from home in my Pjs
Excellent marksmanship from shooting TP hoards

Hey, I like Survivor. The rest I agree with though.

Hey you can't have it both ways.

You'd be demanding the source from Rebo if the names were reversed in that quote tree.

Prioritizing re-election over public safety

Cognitive dissonance is the specialy of Trumpistas. Straw man. Projection...making shit up. So must psychology on display in so few words.

WOW, all March Madness games will be played to empty seats, no fans

That's a HUGE decision

But you believe the Chinese.

The classified meetings, the Trump officials claim, could have delayed the U.S. response to the rapidly spreading coronavirus that has killed at least 29 people and infected more than 1,000 in the country, according to the news outlet. HHS Secretary Alex Azar and chief of staff Brian Harrison reportedly attended the meetings.

The Trump administration has been accused of shutting experts out of coronavirus discussions. These officials said experts without security clearance could not enter the meetings, causing some advice to be delayed until an unclassified meeting.

Another source told Reuters that HHS staffers also were not in the loop because of their lack of security clearance. He said he heard the meetings were classified “because it had to do with China,” where the outbreak originated.

Perhaps there are other issues in regards to China including intelligence gathering. We might know more about what's happening inside China than we are publicly admitting too.

HHS staffers weren't in these meetings but their boss HHS Secretary Alex Azar and his chief of staff Brian Harrison were.

Maybe those rumors that China accidentally released it as a bio-weapon are true.

It couldn't possibly be that Trump has panicked and is trying to cover up his complete incompetence? Nahh...of course not.

Trump is making a national speech about Covid19 tonight at 9pm.

Will he be wearing his MAGA hat?

Probably to tell you he has sacked all the medical and virologist experts as and he has a handle, a great handle on the situation.....

Oh and the test is a beautiful test

I hope it's too tell us he's going to carpet bomb Europe with nukes to stop the spread of Covid19.

We let the UK know about the plan 3 years ago.

yes it might be a rumor, but in Rick's defense "saving face" and deference to superiors trumps "the truth" as we would know "the truth" in western society. True, Japan is not China is not Korea, etc and their cultures are different, but they do share similarities. Many Asian countries place a very high value on tradition, group versus individual success, and a denial of things that make them uncomfortable.
Thus I would not put it past Japan to rationalize and whitewash any negative or worrying data concerning the gravity of the virus in their nation.

But we didn’t show that our fingers were behind our backs crossed.

No one will be spared.

I think I have figured it out. This is like the telephone game where the story gets distorted as it passes on from person to person. Which is why we like sources to back things up.

So this was a quote about what was being regarded as mild in china. I got this from here

https://www.yahoo.com/news/mild-coronavirus-symptoms-235401563.html

In this article they are referring to mild symptoms being more cold like.

This is why sources count people, and perhaps some dude's podcast should not be the citation you claim when backing up real world information.

Just a note, I happened to come across this while reading and figured it might connect somewhere.

Donald trump better hope his orange hue does not come from china like most cosmetics.

If it's from China, it probably contains lead like those children's toys a few years back, and someday while he's waving his hands around and smearing everyone he doesn't like, his face will fall off.

Karma.

Memphis isn't going down without a fight! Nothing like spraying your kid right in the fucking face with a chemical cocktail that might give him eye cancer! My daughter lives there - but hasn't taken any sensible precautions like the folks in the video.
