You're viewing part of a thread.
You’re the one who said we have enough bullets to stop it, it’s you who suggested killing everyone.
Whoa there I suggested massive testing, vaccination, and isolation at the barrel of a gun. You're the one who thinks those methods can't work and we have to jump straight to slaughtering everyone.
We have been trying to eliminate the flu for over a hundred years
And there were assholes like you antagonistic to even trying the whole time.
Nope, we could not. It’s a rapidly spreading airborne illness
Vaccination, isolation, testing.
It could have been done.All you "can't" fuckos trail off before "...while still maintaining capitalist production modes" like I should care.
Then why do we need enough bullets? You suggested we should kill people, not me.
And I'm not antagonistic, I'm a scientist who actually understands how diseases work, unlike you apparently. And I was early in line to get vaccinated, and boosted.
And you think non-capitalist production modes could have mass produced billions upon billions of vaccines and tests in the early months of Covid spreading, before such things were even developed? Because that was impossible.
Sorry to shit on your rather short-sighted worldview, but it's entirely wrong.
mocking voice "I'm a scientist."
Of shutting the fuck up?
Yes, as labor produces vaccines I see no reason it could not do so without it's surplus value being stolen.
Then why do we need enough bullets?
To enforce quarantines, incentivize vaccine uptake, and shoot infected deer.
Christ, why do you shoot (pardon the pun) right past what the guns would be enforcing and in your scenario just start shooting wildly?
You've already admitted it's to preserve capitalism—which is really fucked of you—but Jesus dude
Of Bioanalytical Chemistry.
To enforce quarantines
By shooting people? If you're not going to shoot people, you don't need bullets. So again, you are the one who implied we should be killing people to stop covid.
And hey, if you're using guns to enforce a quarantine, that means you have people out during quarantine to do the enforcing, people who might actually have covid because once again covid is asymptomatic in 50% of people.
You also still need people out farming, delivering food, running power plants, maintaining infrastructure, etc... All of whom could have asympotmatic covid.
Doesn't matter if you have capitalism or socialism, when covid was initially spreading we had no easy way to test for it (we were stuck using PCR, which is time consuming and uses lots of resources), and we didn't have a vaccine because it wasn't invented yet.
Do you think socialism can just magically make an invention appear immediately, and magically make the necessary resources to make it show up?
And whose making these things? Oh, workers, who might have covid, and might spread it to each other.
There is no eliminating airborne illnesses, and I don't know how you still don't get that?
Of [blah balh blah]
You should go back to school and get a doctorate in shutting the fuck up.
By shooting people?
If they break quarantine. Christ. Read. That does not say as you keep insinuating "shoot everyone right away".
And hey, if you’re using guns to enforce a quarantine, that means you have people out during quarantine to do the enforcing, people who might actually have covid because once again covid is asymptomatic in 50% of people.
Hazmat suits, testing.
You also still need people out farming, delivering food, running power plants, maintaining infrastructure, etc…
Hazmat suits, testing, hazard pay.
There is no eliminating airborne illnesses
Not if you keep insisting your haircuts are more important than human lives.
Yes, your incredible maturity is so convincing right now, it's making me fully agree with your baseless and incorrect viewpoint.
So you're a-ok with killing people? Not cool to me, I'm pretty against shooting people. And to stop such a highly transmissible airborne illness, you would have to kill everyone eventually, because it can easily spread through quarantine through ventilation systems.
And where are we going to get enough hazmat suits and testing equipment? They do have to be made you know.
keep insisting your haircuts are more important than human lives.
You're the one insisting we shoot people, I think you're the one who doesn't value human lives here.
You also want to kill off cats, deer, muskelids, bats, and many other animals, because no one is going to test every wild animal out there, it would be logistically impossible.
Isn't all this being wrong in my notifications taking away from your studies?
I hear DeVry has a great program in your field.
So you’re a-ok with killing people? Not cool to me
Yes. Yes the fuck it is. You are continuously advocating for the deaths of vulnerable populations by not controlling covid.
We are both advocating for killing people*, we just disagree on who and how many.
You want far more people dead, and without the option to just not spread plague to avoid it.*although if people stay home like they're supposed to I'M not necessarily arguing for killing anyone unlike you.
you’re the one who doesn’t value human lives
I'd ask how many people you're ok with covid taking to keep Arby open for a few weeks, but you'd deflect like you've been doing so I won't.
It's Sunday, I do research Monday to Friday.
Are you aware of how immature you are? Because it is staggering, though somewhat entertaining. Like talking to an uneducated pre-teen.
And no, it's not just a few weeks, it was never going to be just a few weeks. China went into hardcore, seal people in their condos lockdown for months, and covid didn't go away.
Covid can remain active in apartments and condo buildings for months, spreading between units through ventilation.
There was a nursing home near me that had full lockdown between floors of the building, no one interacted with anyone from different floors, yet covid managed to spread between the floors, because it's airborne.
Hell, I did hardcore lockdown for 4 months, didn't see anyone other than my girlfriend I live with. Covid managed to survive through that, and keep spreading.
Lockdowns do not work to eliminate covid, they can only slow it down, but covid was always here to stay.
We never did a lockdown. No one did.
People kept getting haircuts and spreading plague on purpose (once they learned what populations bore the brunt of deaths).
You and your girlfriend sending a doordasher to a grocery store where people refuse to mask is not "a hardcore lockdown".
We absolutely could have stopped this, people like you just didn't want it stopped and now (as you currently are) are back-justifying that there was nothing we could have done anyway to justify "let 'er rip" thinking.
My city did the longest lockdown in the world, and it was a proper lockdown. No travel, no going out except for groceries and medication, all industries shut down.
doordasher to a grocery store
How exactly do you expect people to eat during your magical full-lockdown?
And once again, covid spreads through the air, which means it can move from condo unit to condo unit and spread, even in a full weld the doors shut lockdown. Unless you want to cut off people's air and have them all suffocate I guess.
Seriously, how does your lockdown actually work, logistically? To allow people to actually survive it, while also doing it for long enough to actually eliminate covid, which would take several months due to inter-unit spread.
My city did the longest lockdown.
Are we discussing a city-wide pandemic, or a global one? Remind me.
How exactly do you expect people to eat during your magical full-lockdown?
As I mentioned in another reply food deliveries, just not by private individuals forced to wade through anti-masker air.
covid spreads through the air, which means it can move from condo unit to condo unit and spread
HVAC technology exists, and I also advocate all buildings air systems be upgraded (at gun point, by people in hazmat suits receiving hazard pay).
The technology and resources exist to fight this problem, just not the political will.
while also doing it for long enough to actually eliminate covid
So you admit it is theoretically possible.
