If you give up your rights and freedom, you deserve none of them.

You’re bleating about some things that you shouldn’t be.

what the fuck is wrong with the police knowing about a bunch of cunts congregating together and risking infection and risking the lives of many other people further down the chain? Look t what’s happening with the death toll in the U.K..

sort yersel out about that.

People out exercising more than once a day is something that I’m not too bothered about I admit, as long as they maintain their distance from other people. So I tend to agree with you about that.

But that first thing ... nah, you’re objectively wrong.

It is interesting to see how the western media is trying to fuel bad feelings about China. One of the stories cooked up was that apparently the eye doctor who died of Corona and who was whisteblower was on brink of discovering cure for Corona. Okay, very believable, an eye doctor fighting from disease in hospital was about to discover cure when 1000s of real experts are not getting anyway near. The western media tries to make you believe that the Chinese people were brutally made to self isolate and that Chinese government is murdering/suppressing its people day and night. When in fact WHO has very highly praised China's action plan which was not just about self isolation but also about reducing pollution.

All in all, a significant portion of western people want to continue with unfettered rights to continue their lifestyle as they want even at cost of endangering other people. It's okay to burn hospital vans or spit on police or medical people just because they won't get much of a retaliation. In spite of far better resources and technology people are dying and still some want unfettered right of roaming around the streets in search of beer and with expectations of having good barbecue. I think if anything China/South Korea are emerging as the future role model from this whole story.
