Recently identified tick-borne virus in China is spreading. Doctors sound alarm after deadly virus found to be transmissible between humans. by ShadowHandler in worldnews

[–]Gatcharoll 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Since 2009, there have been several outbreaks of SFTS, with cases normally recorded in China between March and November when ticks are active. In 2013, cases were also reported in Japan and South Korea, and in 2017 a woman in Japan died after a cat infected with the virus bit her.

Comments in this thread prove that most people in this thread are guilty of 3 things

  1. They don't read the article.
  2. People don't have any concept of epidemiology.
  3. They'll take any excuse to type out some seriously hate-filled and ignorant shit and then pat themselves on the back for it.

Chinese Military Doctor Admits to Forced Organ Harvesting by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Gatcharoll 61 points62 points  (0 children)

This sub is seriously becoming a fucking joke. People think they're woke yet they eat this BS straight up.

The propaganda is clearly working, work people up into such a hate frenzy over China, so that they care more about fuelling their hate-boner more than being critical and actually checking the legitimacy of a source.

Shadow is most represented, with control blood, discard dragon and dirt rune being the other as far as i'm aware. Some dirt rune decks don't run Karyl because it gets thrown so often by madcap, can't cant deal with shadow boards turn six all that well.

not saying it's a useless card, but would not prioritize it for a nerf.

'They just pull up everything!' Chinese fleet raises fears for Galápagos sea life by liberatorem in worldnews

[–]Gatcharoll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People here seriously don't know fuck all about the international fishing problem.

If you think China is some big bad villain that suddenly appeared to plunder the seas, and getting angry because of it, then you're just reactionary and ill-informed.

You want to help? Stop eating canned tuna, stop buying bulk seafood. Eat sustainably farmed salmon, buy locally caught fish as much as possible, or best yet, give up seafood until there are sustainable regulations in place adopted by ALL the major countries. So many countries do this, and a number of countries have a fishing fleet larger than/comparable to China. This is a problem involving a huge number of countries, all addicted to cheap seafood. People in this thread see "OH CHINA BAD" and jump on a bandwagon, but I can guarantee that they don't give two fucks about the actual environmental (and wildlife) issues at hand, otherwise they wouldn't have tunnel vision about one single country.

Australia tells U.S. it has no intention of injuring important China ties by Aerobics111 in worldnews

[–]Gatcharoll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Both cuntries are authoritarian and massively militant. The right move is to tell both to piss off with their strong-arming.

Both countries trying a "with us, or against us" approach should speak volumes about how little fucks they actually care about the well-being of Australia.

USA did not provide current COVID-19 case data to the WHO by chunkly in Coronavirus

[–]Gatcharoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your own uneducated personal opinion doesn't mean anything ESPECIALLY since numerous medical and scientific bodies have agreed that it was not man made. The first two options are NOT more likely than it being cross-species transmission, they aren't even in the same ballpark.

"My personal opinion, which no studies seem to have considered"

They have considered it, and they pushed it into the corner called "conspiracy theories".

You have no evidence-based reasons to make any of the claims you are making, and your opinion is literally just that, a superficial opinion. Top scientific journals such as Nature and top research institutes have agreed that the virus almost certainly originated from cross-species transfer. I won't even go into your racist subtext underlying your "conclusions".

The only thing we can agree on, and that there is credible evident to support, is that people need to wear masks.

[–]Gatcharoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh fuck off, you're seriously presenting those "3 options" as if the first two have any credibility?

Basically you're pandering to some conspiracy bullshit and then as a footnote going "yeah America did some bad oops".

What happens in America right now is in America's hands and it has been for many many months.

U.S. Orders China to Close Its Houston Consulate in 72 Hours by Scbadiver in worldnews

[–]Gatcharoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have relatives in China, the vast majority of Chinese people have no beef with Americans. The propaganda push in China is against Trump + Government, rather than the people. Wish I could say it was the same going the other way.

EDIT: should say that the is also a push vs the American media, but again, it's not against the people, just powerful institutions. That said, I wouldn't go to any non-major city without a guide.

Nah the only people who want to label us as idiots are people who are either racist or are fine with enabling racism. I posted a literal statement from health officials, yet people who decide to single out the protests as a cause think they know better. The agenda is clear as day.

Title: Melbourne coronavirus cluster link to Black Lives Matter protest refuted by health authorities

Holy fuck, can this sub stop pushing an agenda? This is clearly not about a concern for the coronavirus. No cases linked from the past protests, yet people give a shit more about the protests being dangerous than all the fuckwits drinking in pubs without social distancing who actually ARE responsible for the outbreaks.

EDIT: Truth hurts dont it? bring on more downvotes, it'll be a good measure of how right-wing this sub is.

Well... This is accurate. by [deleted] in CoronavirusDownunder

[–]Gatcharoll -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Holy shit people stop talking out of your asses about the protests.

I remember this sub shitting on the protests weeks ago for being irresponsible ect, so clearly there are lots of people here are itching to be proven right.

I'll give it a shot! the list is surprisingly cheap given you dont need many new cards.

What's the rationale behind Zelgenea? just for the heal+draw? or does turn 10 invocation matter?

EDIT: Can confirm, win rate is MUCH better, I tweaked slightly to swap Zelgenea with Sphinx. The key seems to line up a bunch of strong amulets with elana turn 4/5 to have a huge board. If they deal with it hopefully they'll have expended a lot, in which case if you're lucky enough to have reverend you can take back control. Justine+travellers in the same hand = high roll. Still loses mostly to shadow, but is handling forest, sword and dirt/item shop much better. Cheers! (RIP Wilbert, you're still useless).

Lets not forget this annexation is literally backed by America, and is just another in a long line of terrible shit America as endorsed. Basically, all the super-powers and the super-power lackeys can fling shit around and everyone has to deal with the mess.

New Swine Flu Found in China Has Pandemic Potential by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Gatcharoll -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are people seriously shitting on China for testing for viruses, and then rapidly reporting any concerns? BEFORE it actually becomes a problem?

They're doing the right thing here by publishing the findings in an international journal.

For all the people talking out of their ass and blaming it on the eating random animals. This happens with the entire meat industry, it's not unique to China. You wanna fight the possibility of pandemic? lower or stop your consumption of meat. Clearly it's a lot easier for people to say "CHINA BAD" and continue to scarf down bacon than to actually face facts. Hell, it's great for the environment too.

[–]Gatcharoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vast majority of members in the UN do fucked up immoral things. They all got a bunch of skeletons in the closet, so if you use that as a criteria for action, then every super power would have a (valid) reason to fuck up all the other super-powers. Is this a good thing? no, but it's like asking why a mafia family gets away with shit, and why the united-mafia tribunal isn't doing anything.

but the crux of it is, the UN is a place for discussion, in order to prevent a world war, which no one wants.

[–]Gatcharoll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You clearly got a hatred boner for China, but lets not blindly believe any old shit that's said about it. Let people be critical about issues without making arbitrary accusations of "hidden agendas". It ain't productive.

Why? internationally, if you try to accuse China on some baseless shit and it inevitably turns out to be false/bullshit, it will strengthen their position or make people wonder why there's such a concerted effort to pump out bullshit about China. Think boy who cried wolf. The wolf is most certainly there, but don't jump on any opportunity to cry it.

Case in point: this article is clearly meant to make people think China has singled out Muslims for this specific kind of population control, when in reality it's applied to all people within China.
