many masks are coming off in this pandemic, if they even wear one; the rightoids are literally calling you to sacrifice your grandpa to die in their bloody pneumonia so that the Big Line goes up.

that said, this boom is just a bull trap, the biggest one in histort. in a week or so it will all come tumbling down again.

Fighting against this virus is like war in peaceful times. It doesn't discriminate, so we are all equal before it. Well, maybe the rich and powerful have a better chance of surviving since they have access to top class health care, so yeah.

His Brazil henchman might fall first.

I am thinking of "the other guy" who's yet to be in charge and cannot think straight. But Bolsonaro is really going to catch it at some point if he keeps on denying it's a threat.

Also, with how the economy works in Brazil, the virus is bound to be more "eat the poor" than anything else.

[AsGryffynn]

fuckin morons thinking chicken is better if it's rare

They also eat soap pods and lick airplane toilet seats. They are actually mentally damaged.

eat seafood, everything from sea is halal--thus, disease free

Fugu.

Yep. And as expected, El Presidente is starting his trade war with China again.

Seeing the stock market rising while people are dying just feel wrong.

Implying the stock market cares about the common rabble. The stock market is essentially Gilgamesh.

>bat meat is haram

damn they were ahead of their time

Incinerated bats are not reservoirs.

The issue was people using raw bats or treating them with a grill.

you know what all of those (including e coli) have in common

they are more commonly found in meat than vegetable products

You just want to turn us into vegans.

Also, imagine finding worms in your salad, from a supposedly top notch restaurant. That's the level here. Then there's the fact this happened in Spain and the restaurant just kept on going as usual. In Bogota, someone found an ant in their spaghetti and the place shot down two days later.

We don't know where danger actually lies.

Just like Trump. People picked them, so I guess they are okay with how they are dealing with the virus. I'm impress at the obedience of the Americans since Trump's approval got up after he played the blaming game, and everyone seems okay that their president is simple saying "You poor you die, no problem."

No kidding, the moment the virus got to a favela, the spread was bound to go completely out of control. No way they're going to be able to contain it there, bar a miracle.


And Trump's approval rating will keep going up as long as people buy on the fantasy he's selling them. And given how grim everything looks, people are going to be more willing than ever to buy it.

Guess brainwashing goes both ways. I really hope someone stops him from trying to open up the country when Easter comes.

Fugu.

It's just a bit toxic, not diseased.

Generalizations won't really serve you here. It's not just America, but hard times do tend to have people rallying around an institution, if not the leader.
However that doesn't mean people are okay with him. I'm in tech support, and also working customer service in retail it's very much a thing at how isolated in one's bubble people can be, even in this era of information.
That, and beyond just somebody running up and capping him in the head, what do you expect people to do?

I know, but seeing how he IS representing USA, Trump is reflecting Americans badly.

[Twelveseal]

I wonder about that... seems like he represents some of us pretty accurately... = /

In unrelated news, seems like we still have the time to pick a fight with Maduro. Really? Now?

[Deathhappens]

If it bites you and it die, it's venomous.
If you bite it and you die, it's poisonous.
If it bites you and someone else dies, that's correlation, not causation.

[Twelveseal]

I... think you botched the first line...

[rxrx]

Is it true El Presidente is also threatening Canada with military action as well?

[Twelveseal]

I haven't heard about that.

[rxrx]

I haven't heard about that.

Yeah, I don't think he would be that crazy. Just saw some news saying he plans to send troops to the border.

[Twelveseal]

Oh, that. That's probably just a border closure thing to help control covid spread.

[rxrx]

Oh, that. That's probably just a border closure thing to help control covid spread.

Okay. I thought El Presidente finally decides to take it out on Canada, pointing the finger at them for spreading the virus to Merica since China is too far away.

[Twelveseal]

Nah. Maplebros got way better healthcare and prescription programs. Folks be running north of the border for treatment, I expect, spreading this thing.

its becoming increasingly embarassing how the current USA cant just do a clean coup

you used to be a lot better at this

[Kamera]

when your empire used to overthrow foreign governments for fun but now can't even contain a little pandemic
