Not to get too philsophical but some might argue that China's success versus India's also suggests the limits of the idea that unfettered democracy is better than limited socialism.

Posts: 1385I treat them as soliloquies arguing with a straw man that he disagrees with; the straw man changes with the nature and topic of the argument.
An example being this present comment from yours truly.

1 in 500 1 in 500 people in the western world's general population at large have been hospitalized. Amongst people under 50 years old, 1 in 750. Those numbers will only rise; that's mathematically guaranteed. Mind you, that statistic is with mitigation efforts in place. What if we had kept society 100% open? What would be the rate of hospitalization if the virus was free to spread before we reach herd immunity? 1 in 250? 1 in 100?
Point is, death is not the only consequence worthy of consideration. While I support making attempts to resume society and also share the same criticism of sensational media outlets, we must first, at the very least, recognize the severity of this pandemic in order to understand how serious of a public health crisis this can really be.

Posts: 4759EL: it is not only a problem of diet, we should never forget that in India, 600 millions people (half of the population) don't have a daily access to toilet, that water supply is also a big concern. On top of that some cultural and religion beliefs, some of my Indian Hindu friends told me many times this joke: Indian bath 2 times in their life, birth and death. To be more serious, it is very difficult to imagine that 60 years back India and China were more or less at the same level of development, today China is probably the number one super power with highways, high speed trains everywhere, when at the same time there is no highway, 0 high speed train (train network is still from the British time) in India, and despite a lot of energy spent the things are moving so slowly in the very conservative Indian society.

Posts: 4759EL: I am more afraid by your comment than by the covid. May be have you noticed that this virus seems to be out of control in many parts of the world.
Probably the things will get worse in the coming weeks and may be we will face another quarantine in Europe just because so many people don't respect social distancing. I am afraid that the economical impact will be terrible in the coming months, the biggest winner seems to be China for the moment.

Sometimes I think about all those girls I fucked and wonder if it really happened to me, LOL. Feels unreal.
You pack nearly 8 billion human beings who increasingly over the decades have been rewarded for being more and more social and suddenly ask them to distance, it is a fucking nightmare.
However, I still know I have a privileged life and so many have died and millions more are struggling in multiple ways. Can't wait to say sayonara to this year.

Posts: 284Its obvious to me that many people don't know what risk is of having Covid 19.
Media focusing on deaths and cases of Covid is just feeding the fear of the virus for everyone while its known as a fact by data that the risk is very very low for the vast majority of people.
Fact ((150,000 people who die each day across the globe)) almost 55 Million each year, and still Covid is treated like the end of the world with many restricted life for everyone and yet we are talking about going back to normal life with 55 million death! That is nonsense.
I know many are scared, if you want to be safe just stay at your house until you get a vaccine I don't mind.
But I don't get why many scared people just want everyone to follow them! Just as if they will not be safe until everyone is safe!! Again nonsense.
I'm not liking thie overreacting to the virus , and I hope a vaccine will arrive soon and this Pandamec comes to an end.
Good Luck and stay safe.

Posts: 4759I worked 5 years + in India and that is really not a stereotype, just advice some guys on this forum to take as many times that I have done it, INDIGO flights sometimes it is impossible to seat next to some people just the smell is terrible. After some experiences and good connections I always choose to seat next to Indian Muslim because with them you never get any problems, sorry for that but it was my hard reality.
Coming back to FKK, we all know girls who will never go with other man than white Christian over 50, also sorry for that but it is the reality, obviously these girls are the most beautiful and they are not desperate to get 50 euros.

BTW, I won't ridicule if those folks were just saying that they themselves won't go to FKKs now for their own weaker health conditions or other related situations, and didn't try to lecture others who are going. They were (are) kinda lecturing others to not enlist to military just because they think it's risky. After all it's a fight for the existence of our beloved FKK / P6 system LOL.
