Computex 2020 Postponed due to COVID-19 Outbreak

[repman244]

Except you are missing some perspective. So far, COVID19 has killed fewer people WORLDWIDE than the flu did in the same time in the USA alone.

It barely spread it's wings, and without the lockdowns it would overtake the flu death rate like it's nothing. And stop comparing it to the flu it's not even close to being the same.

However I do agree that panicking and over-reacting is idiotic and get's you nowhere.
But ignoring the warnings from nations which are hit by it and have first hand experience is foolish.

*sigh* Soon...

Hopefully world leaders will pull their heads out of the sand and/or there bums and make decisions that will actually have a positive effect.

I'm curious what you consider the best approach when you say that?

Rubbish, it has spread everywhere. Lock-downs are useless.

And stop comparing it to the flu it's not even close to being the same.

I'm not comparing the symptoms, I'm comparing the mortality numbers, which are perfectly comparable. I could just as easily compare cancer and car accident numbers and the comparisons would still be perfectly valid as they demonstrate respective fatality percentages over time.

However I do agree that panicking and over-reacting is idiotic and get's you nowhere.

Keep your passive aggressive insults to yourself, they are not welcome.

I'm curious what you consider the best approach when you say that?

Education on proper personal hygiene, distribution of nose & mouth masks of a proper type which are proven effective as well as other personal sanitation products. Containment is not possible or effective at this late date! Proper personal sanitation is.

Ah yes, but I agree on most of those, except the masks but we've been over those before. Still though, there are many, many countries in the world, even in wealthy ones, where a lot of social traffic is impossible doing what you suggest. Or, its simply impossible because the requirements for it are not readily available. Its a problem we can fix, but not quickly enough. We'll probably find some sort of vaccine or treatment earlier than that.

That is the current approach: search for cure, and until then, minimize the impact in whatever way possible. We're basically trying to hold out until a saviour comes. And regardless, those places that won't be able to adhere to personal hygiene or distancing sufficiently, are going to suffer the damage, still.

Postponed is the perfect word for it, as it has been postponed and not cancelled. There's nothing rude about it. Nothing scary about it. Postponed is a normal word in normal use across English speaking countries.

I think it was cancelled and then rescheduled which is the right word, amid positive signs that we don't need complete lock-down of Earth for so long.
It's backported again to reality in 2020

Inb4 new outbreak this Fall

Inb4 new outbreak this Fall

It's damn sure better than letting it rip through everyone and ending up with a population which has a maximum age of 50. That is narrow-minded, selfish thinking.

And you don't have to lock down everything, if people wouldn't be so stupid and followed a few simple instructions you don't require drastic measures like total lock downs. (Japan is the example - and they have old population!)

The bad thing is that all the normal people will end with less rights and less wealth after this.

This was always going to be a lose-lose situation... Sometimes it just is. The only hope I have here is that something good may come out of it as well, and you see signs of this already. Not on a government level directly, but definitely there is a general shift towards a more social(ized) society now. We're starting to quickly realize how necessary social welfare really is and how we let it slide. But also the importance of other vital professions that have really been undervalued the past few decades.

So all you come up with is wear a mask and wash your hands? From all of your replies I would think you knew better.

IF the Chinese managed to stop the spreading they did it with a lock-down and it worked.

Well, they are under so called "communist" rule which in its essence means less freedom for people to move. How all the Chinese went to Italy? Or how so many foreigners visit "communist" China?

Well, but the main characteristics of the capitalism as a system is hyper-competitiveness which leads to envy in people and anti-social moods all the time.

It is very hard to implement China style quarantine in other countries on top of that I do not believe a single world of statistic coming from that country.

What are you mumbling about? I have not started this discussion.People refer to the statistics coming out of china, and I simply suggest take everything with a pinch of salt coming from that nation.

Its just a continuation of baseless accusation, that is all. In another topic you got replied to doing that, and never responded, probably because the truth didn't suit your narrative.

Fact remains, there isn't a single country in the world right now with a truly accurate count. But the big numbers don't lie, when taken across the whole world. Not sure why China would be any different than a few dozen other totalitarian states and dictatorships.

It's like a variation of Tourette's some people have these days. They just have to voice out how much they don't like China every once in a while.

The nation in question has all of you know, have detained and forced the first doctor who made the world aware of this disease. Unfortunately, due to circumstances we do not know, he contracted this disease, and a perfectly healtty young doctor have fallen. you can all be ignorant to this issue, but there is more. people whether most of you like it or not, have awoken about this nation, and its human records, child labour and hygiene. The wheels are turning.

And yet the same country provides some highly valuable info at the same time. Funny how that works when in the meantime a US president is causing deaths with misinformation as well, recommending untested drug use as a cure and similar to China, downplaying the truth constantly. Choose your poison!

The anti China rhetoric has a time and place. This isnt it and if you think tables are turning you are correct. They turn in Chinas favor more than anything else...

 

[rtwjunkie]

The correct article title would be "Is Moved To September", not postponed because postpone despite having an accurate meaning is quite rude, still shocking and scary.



It should be over in several weeks. Just stay at home and don't move outside.
The disease should disappear in 14 days!
The news are very positive, all the major tech stocks are gaining the lost values today!

You should use more bolding. It will make your point better.

You are talking but all the talk is worth nothing. I talk facts never can be disputed. That is the simple inevitable truth that will never go away. Have a nice day. I'm done talking with unrational people.

That's a function of the copy-paste action, not intentional bolding.
