I guess they are having some cases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know, you could try posting something constructive, informative or interesting sometime rather than just critiquing other posters on the style of their posts. Still, how do other people here feel? Would you rather see absolute increase figures, percentage increase, both or neither? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paddyfool 379 Posted February 2, 2020 Incidentally, I reckon it'll be just 3 or 4 days before we pass the 500 deaths mark. Then maybe a week or two before we pass the 1000 mark. Anyone reconsidering their earlier guess, either upwards or downwards? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have posted a metric shit ton of posts on here over the years I have been a part of it. I have also started more threads than you have quoted percentages. Amongst the reems of shit I have posted have been the 'constructive and informative' too. You are in no position to question my posting content whatsoever. Much of what you post shows you to be an utterly souless individual who brings bugger all to the place other than their intelligence. We have enough intellingent people on here already.

Doesn’t make me the official spokesperson, says the one who, upon every visit, takes it upon himself to audit people’s ‘post quality’ and ‘intelligence’ in his opinion which obviously outweighs everyone else’s?

I wasn’t trying to be a spokesperson by the way, that was my own wording error, but anyone who chooses to go about being so deliberately belligerent for the sake of it, and attempts to belittle and verbally abuse anyone with a view that’s not theirs, they’ve got to have a not inconsiderable degree of sadness in their life. Constant truculence is so tiresome. I hope I’m not pitied; my life’s really not bad and, as much as truculence aimed at me is water off a duck’s back, I don’t make it my mission to belittle, upset or anger people But sure, fire away!

Toast 16,140 Posted February 2, 2020 I really enjoy LFN's rants. They're nothing compared with Deathers when he loses his rag though. I also find a lot of TQR's posts entertaining. I enjoy watching a good row on here. It's reassuring to have a place where people can speak their minds. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's be real here no way this has killed only 350 people so far. Already into the thousands maybe 10,000s of thousands. They're cremating the dead as soon as they die so it's also hard to keep track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it is very likely many are not even being diagnosed or admitted to hospital and are simply being classified as having died from pneumonia. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted February 3, 2020 With 15,000 births per hour worldwide, the virus deaths are a massive drop in the ocean. In context, it's fuck all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True that. Any amount of deaths under a million is fuck all when put up against a population growth rate of 80 million per year worldwide. Depending on how localised they are, of course - if a million deaths happened in Wales, for instance, that'd be a third of the Welsh population. Scattered around the world, it'd be just 1 in every 7,700 people, meaning that most of us wouldn't know anyone who died. The biggest deal of coronavirus to many people will be how it fucks with supply chains, travel, personal interaction, access to healthcare etc as the virus and quarantine procedures go global. Meanwhile, here are the current figures: 20,438 confirmed cases in mainland China so far, up by 3,235 (19%) 425 confirmed deaths in China so far, up by 62 (17%). 185 confirmed cases outside mainland China Hong Kong reports its first death, the 2nd outside of mainland China. Incidentally, Japan has just quarantined a whole cruise ship with 2500 passengers and 1000 crew, after one passenger tested positive for the coronavirus. Plague ships for our times... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
