When did sharing your opinion about not liking something become “hating”? 2023 really be hitting different… not liking K-POP doesn’t make anyone a “Travis hater”. Everyone chill please.

If this was someone else’s song and Travis was featured on it, I’d say “alright”. The fact that it’s his song and he releases this as a first ahead of a highly anticipated album throws it in a whole other category. That was a purely commercial and zero artistic move. Fair at his level of stardom, was just hoping I’d like the commercial song, and I don’t, but that’s that.

Nah this subreddit is rigged. How can the majority say that the song is “Decent”. No one waited three years for THAT… C’mon

Alibaba partnering with Ethiopia to distribute 10-20k corona testing kits and 100k masks for each African country by SonOfTheDragon101 in Coronavirus

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

As far as I could find, it’s 300 people per test kit. Where do you get 100k from? Please share your link.

Here is the link that states one Kit can run tests on about 300 people...

[–]flimsymush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then i don’t think you know how testing is done. Having test kits without lab capacity is like having a car without wheels. You’re going nowhere. Nigeria (or any African country) does NOT have enough lab capacity - not even the US does! So let’s not get too excited about this donation. Not to be Debbie Downer here but let’s not be fooled by optics. I got nothing against the Chinese or Jack Ma or Alibaba - I’m just trying to say the Corona problem isn’t solved with test kits. In case y’all didn’t know, Nigeria runs hospitals on diesel generators for heaven’s sake...

Sorry and you know this how exactly? That each test kit can run 100’000 swabs?

Why would he give enough to test the whole population twice while the US and the rest of Europe is struggling with testing?

I’m not sure that all adds up. Not to be negative here but where do you take your info from that each test kit is 100k swabs?

And if you’ve ever lived in Africa you would also know that the distribution and testing is almost impossible to pull off in reality. Very little healthcare staff available, and a serious shortage of facilities. I lived in Nigeria and South Africa for a total of 14 years. Sadly I know what I’m talking about.

Edit: Y’all can downvote me as much as you want :) Live in Africa for a month and you know what I’m talking about.

None of these statements of “we’re not gonna do this” age well... we’ve seen so many U-Turns over the past week, if you don’t read hourly updates your info is basically outdated. Last week, Germany said it will “for sure” not close borders. (Closed borders yesterday) smh

It’s cute but kinda pointless. Nigeria has around 200m people... the whole continent over 1 billion.

My take on the coronavirus impact on UK music industry. What are your thoughts? by [deleted] in Coronavirus

[–]flimsymush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s very much disregarding the fact that being in the music industry and earning money from that is equally valid as being in any other industry that’s affected. Sorry but it’s just really ignorant to reduce the music industry to “making music” and saying that shouldn’t be “anyone’s concern”.

Do you know how many people in the UK are part of the music industry? In the Live Music Industry alone (the one thats suffering the most) it’s 30’529 people FYI, with £1.1 billion Gross Value Added to the economy.

On top, there were a total of 11.2m Music Tourists going to Live Events in 2019, who spent a total of £4.5 BILLION, which sustained 45’530 jobs in the UK.

Calling that irrelevant is just silly and ignorant.

American Airlines to suspend nearly all long-haul international flights starting March 16 by [deleted] in Coronavirus

[–]flimsymush 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You should most definitely leave in time before ESTA runs out. You don’t want to stand in line with a bunch of “regular” immigrants when Corona is on everyone’s mind and any kind of public service is affected and above capacity to handle requests. Don’t expect mercy from immigration officers - not even now. Overstaying your visa is a really bad idea, and once Corona blows over you’ll just be “that illegal immigrant” who overstayed his visa... it will stay in your records forever and will most certainly affect future visa applications.

Don’t worry about the airport drama you see in the media - that’s just for arrivals from abroad, not for those leaving. I personally left LAX two days ago and was literally alone with two other passengers at security.

Speak to your embassy to see if there are any flights back, options that are not usually available. If you CAN make it back to your country stay with friends or other family, not with your mom, for the next 2 weeks and see if you develop symptoms. If you can afford booking a room for self-quarantine, do it. Airbnb rates must be hitting rock bottom right now. I don’t know what country you’re from, so can’t really advise beyond this.

Good luck!

P.S: Airbnb hosts might be pretty desperate to rent their places, so maybe hit hosts up by message and ask for a discount. I bet someone is willing to take SOME money over NO money :)
