Wall street is having its worst week since The Great Recession because of the corona virus.

Foolish to think the VIrus is not going have a massive impact on everybody.

 

 

Well thats what happens when we focused on the woke aspect of the virus then containing it.

A lot of the twitter verse and government Leaders were talking about here locally about the impact on asian businesses now it seems we are nowhere near prepared for this virus.

 

Meaning instead of looking at the bigger picture of a future  pandemic we were concerned about being 'woke'.

 

Maybe not in other countries but indeed here in Canada.

How does a virus have a "woke aspect" lmao

 

Xenophobia can rapidly reach sky high in pandemy situation, I imagine in many ways that why so many humans are programmed to be xenophobic, protection against unknown to their anti corps illness.

Knowing that it is such a strong and natural reaction, it is possible for some entity (media/politic/science) to try to reduce xenophobia and have it in mind in coverage/policy decision and not just have what are the best course of action in a survival mode one.

 

For example, not ban travel from China or quarantine them or in Europe Bruxelle not letting country stop free circulation, I imagine some will think that some woke type consideration went on (even if the trying to keep the stock market up type were much stronger).

 

A pandemy will have free transport, freedom in general (government can get really tempted to spy), racism and so on aspect.

@CJohn Dude, the new Big Brother promo with Cláudio Ramos... what the fuck :hahaha:

 

If this thing flops, TVI is going to greenlight Kitchen Nightmares every fucking month. They'll pay Ljubo the fucking Euromillions if needed.

Are you talking about that promo where Cláudio Ramos is talking to the human figure of Big Brother? Man, what a disaster lmao. Between this and DWTS tanking to 3rd place and 15% share last Sunday it is time for Ljubo to just go to SIC.

This might come as a surprise, but it's possible to walk and talk at the same time.

While the government was very correctly pointing out that it was harmful and completely unnecessary to be avoiding Asian businesses, it was also successfully identifying and treating coronavirus cases, exhaustively testing potential cases, and doing other preparations for preventing a pandemic.

In a context that a giant % of the electorate consider all those story are always made up panic to sales ads in the media and corrupted official teaming-up with big pharmacology lobby.
