Tight minge Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 The Hong Kong death.... Yip he had the virus, but he also had a heart condition. He died of a heart attack. Can we really claim this one?Most of the deaths are due to other complications, mostly pneumonia but also heart and other conditions. Still most over the overseas ones are still actually mainland Chinese.It is a big debate, just like naturalisation and the ‘granny’ rules. Should you represent a country that you have never been to just because your granny got fucked by a waiter from there whilst on holiday? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of feel if I contact the newspaper and point this out they might, kind of, think I am being insensitive or inconsiderate or something. Not sure why. Things are kind of a little closer to home now. I an in Thailand at present and my HR contacted me earlier to check on my family. Allegedly 4 more cases in Singapore that would put us into second place, however one of the cases is within my local community, so a little concerning. My bravado may be punctured tomorrow! Found out today that I have two quarantined colleagues. Very exciting news. Lazy b*****ds are at home doing f**k all while I steam in at graft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTG Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 If someone punted me into a room on a ship for a fortnight the Corona virus would definitely not be the biggest killer on the boat. I'd be round the bend and into serial killer mode within hours. f**k boats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 The Doctor who first tried to alert everyone about the virus (and was basically told to shut up about it) has died of the virus. Where's my foil hat? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just laughed at the suggestion then told me that in his circles Hong Kong Chinese are generally referred to as "Honkys" He also said anyone can call him and his family anything they like - as long as they keep coming in and buying the stuff! -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get into a conversation with a group of them and start talking about races and its like a 1970’s sitcom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Australia now officially up to 15 according to latest Department of Health burb. Although they say 5 have recovered so guess we forget about them as it will f**k up the standings. Number of cases As of this morning, 7 February 2020, 15 cases of 2019-nCoV have been confirmed in Australia: 5 in Queensland, 4 in New South Wales, 4 in Victoria, and 2 in South Australia. All of the cases in Australia have come from Wuhan except one in NSW who had contact in China with a confirmed case in Wuhan. Of the previously reported cases, 5 have recovered. The others are in a stable condition. Australian health authorities are testing another 165 people who show symptoms of the virus. Questions about testing, and about the welfare of people with the virus, should be directed to state and territory health authorities. Internationally, approximately 28,285 confirmed cases of 2019-nCoV, and 565 deaths have been reported – a 2.0% fatality rate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine that there have been far more undiagnosed cases in China and worldwide where people have just recovered with minimum medical intervention, whereas as the death toll is fairly accurate. So the fatality rate could be a lot lower. Or it might start mutating and there will be no one around next Christmas. Who knows?!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to make clear that when I've defended people using racist language out of ignorance, I'm not agreeing that it's fine to keep using it, or trying to justify it.
