Reading the weak and pathetic responses in this thread shows exactly why the problem is so bad.
>just give the junkies free housing!
>just expand mental health clinics!
>just…like…talk to them…and stuff. Sing kumbaya and send them to coding boot camp so they can get a job at Facebook!
You people are delusional. This problem is NOT complex.
>arrest/expel all public squatters
>use corporal punishment for those on which you cannot levy fines (like Singapore)
>wall the city and don’t let any of the expelled back in
Really not hard. Just takes an ounce of testosterone which none of you geeks have. Having tolerance for people defecating in public and smashing every other car window doesn’t make you caring or virtuous. It makes you an idiot. And a dangerous idiot if you vote. San Francisco is the most disgusting shithole I’ve ever seen. It will stay that way if this thread is any indication of its base moving forward. You lot are a bunch of feminine, ineffective, do-nothings.
All you need to clean up the city is 50-100 cops with billy clubs and permission to use them. Being a bum should be made so intolerable that the bums leave for Portland on their own accord. And the ones that still refuse should be jailed. Simple.
Nobody is “moaning”. We are pointing out obvious inconsistency.
What’s ironic about THIS particular virus is that if any virus DESERVES a regional origin name, it’s this one, as this one was most likely created in a lab and released on the world due to lab failures. Perhaps I could entertain the notion forgoing regional naming for viruses of natural origin, so as to not unduly destroy tourism, travel, and reputation of areas that just got unlucky. In this case, though, name and shame is more than fair — it’s deserved. And consistent!
In an era where almost all viruses/diseases have been referred to by non-technical names, the rapid switch to a technical mouthful of “COVID-19” or “SARS CoV 2” is absolutely political.
I remember sitting at an airport last year watching newscasters denigrating the use of the term “Wuhan virus” as I had just walked past a sign warning about MERS (Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome) just on the other side of security. It felt other-worldly. Then, after the CCP PR campaign of using the technical term had fully caught on, all of same news stations called the original variants the “UK/Kent variant” and the “Indian variant” for weeks/months until they caught themselves and switched to the Greek alphabet. And like programming with too much abstraction and bad variable names, the new Greek alphabet names for the variants actually obscure useful information — you no longer know where the hotbed locations are for each variant, and you have go looking online for their origins, instead of just having that info in the name.
West Nile, Guinea Worm, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Lyme disease, Ross River fever, Omsk Hemorrhagic Fever, Ebola, MERS, Marburg Virus, Spanish Flu, Lassa Fever, Legionnaires Disease. All without fanfare or protest. Wuhan virus? Oh, no no no. That would look bad for the party. Can’t have that.
You realize you are posting an article from September 2020 that claims that COVID has a death rate north of 3%, which we now know to be wildly untrue, right?
Christ almighty, the vaccines-are-the-only-solution crowd is statistically illiterate and lazy. Just embarrassing.
Not only are you numbers unsound, but your position is only true if you accept the false dichotomy of “vaccines or nothing”. Prophylaxis options are available, but they’re out of patent, so they’re ignored and torpedoed by your holy CDC and WHO high priests who live in the pockets of big pharma.
Herd immunity can be achieved with natural immunity + inoculation + therapeutic/chemo prophylaxis. The only time in history where natural immunity has been considered insufficient for the goal of herd immunity is 2020+. WHO went as far as changing their definition of herd immunity last year to exclude natural immunity (check the way back machine).
Leaky vaccines can also cause mutation pressure on viruses, but the only acceptable public position is that the unvaccinated are causing the more virulent strains.
Propaganda from the top down to sell more (in patent) pharmaceutical products, with force and public shame. Think about this for a moment: someone at WHO identified their herd immunity definition on their website and willingly modified it to exclude natural immunity. Ask yourself how that is in any way scientific or appropriate. It is scientific gaslighting and the only explanation is a desire to sell more vaccines.
