RANTING/VENTING MEGATHREAD 3.0

When is the international investigation into the Wuhan outbreak going to take place? Last I heard, the CCP were threatening Australia with sanctions for pushing for it.

I think this 20 minute clip is worth watching

Really interesting video, thanks for sharing it :) Toying with the idea of sharing it on Facebook but think I already post enough anti-CCP stuff lol, and my friends and family will think I'm more of a nut than I actually am. What to do :(

Here is the link for the video I mentioned if you have a spare 10 mins.

While I don't buy the idea that China purposefully released the virus to whipe us out or anything, some idiot screwing around in a lab and accidentally spreading it is pretty plausible. Hey man, we all have our bad days!

That's, at least, a written warning.

Right. 3 strikes and you're out!

That's, at least, a written warning.

Unless it was his first day.  Then just a stern telling off.

What happened to all the anger over foreign meddling and colluding?

unpopular opinion: The corona virus would have been much better if it was the t-virus instead. :o

Itchy, tasty.

    "You've released the virus. Do you know what you've done?!?"
    "Sorry Sir"
    "That's one whole OSHA violation. You just lost out on the pizza party this Friday"

Weapon of choice in Korea?

America is great !
Trump is super Great !!!

“...and ruined it for everyone else.”

I shared this in Foreigners in South Korea but they didn't approve it. Still applies to everyone.

Something I've noticed about Foreign Groups on Facebook that I'd like to say. It specifically concerns people posting and looking for work in Korea.

a) Do not tell people from countries other then US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa that they have a chance at teaching English here. It's not kind. I always see some 20 something year old girl from SEA come in here and ask about teaching English here and there's always one person who says "Oh yeah, you just gotta find someone who will hire you. You're not a native speaker? Oh, but you speak English well? Oh, yeah. No problem! Just look for privates!" This is NOT helpful. There are, like, 2 Thai people in the country doing this and it's probably illegal anyway. It's not realistic to tell people who aren't native speakers that they can do it.

This doesn't mean that it CAN'T happen, or that it never happens, but you're not being realistic telling some Nepalese guy that teaching English here is a realistic option for them.

b) Speaking about employment more generally.......... ...

Person A: I want to work in Korea.

Person B: Oh, you need a visa for that. What job experience do you have?

Person A: I am 20. I graduated high school and live at home. I worked on my uncle's farm for 3 months one summer.

Person C: Get an F Visa! Then you can work anywhere!

Don't be person C. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY for this person to get an F visa.

They're not a gyopo. They're not marrying a Korean. They don't have 100 000 000W in investment money (if they did, do you think they'd be asking US for help? C'mon) and the points system for the merit based F visa just got a lot more difficult. They don't live here, it's NOT realistic.

I know you're probably trying to be helpful, but you're really not.

Check out laowhy86's videos on the research centre. Long story short, in October there were job adverts trying to get more people in to work on a 'new strain'. Basically either some of the workers got contaminated (liquid spills/close contact with the virus) and went to the wet market without knowing, OR someone tasked with disposal of the subjects decided to make a quick buck and sell them instead. (common in China) One of the whistleblowers from the facility was silenced and 'removed' from the website worker bio page and hasn't been heard from since.

Yet there are people out there who believe it DIDN'T come from Wuhan, China. If there are any conspiracy theorists out there, it's them.

While I don't buy the idea that China purposefully released the virus to whipe us out or anything, some idiot screwing around in a lab and accidentally spreading it is pretty plausible. Hey man, we all have our bad days!

This is utterly insane. Numerous scientists around the world have debunked the "COVID19 was made in a lab" nonsense that you both are pushing. No-one doubts the virus originated in Wuhan, but it occurred naturally. It doesn't matter what you want to believe to push whatever agenda you're pursuing. The only thing that matters is actual objective facts.

"Scientists: 'Exactly zero' evidence COVID-19 came from a lab" https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/05/scientists-exactly-zero-evidence-covid-19-came-lab

"How we know the COVID-19 coronavirus wasn't made in a lab" https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-lab-manmade-myth-debunked-2020-6

These are just two articles from countless others you could find with a simple search.

Debunked?

Read every line closely.

... Nonsense.
"Suggestions" and probabilities are unfounded and speculative.

Chillsberg, have you read either of the articles that you yourself posted, or did you just grab the top 2 google search results that appeared to substantiate your claim?
Neither of those "debunk" the possibility that Covid was made in a lab.

Not to be that "Listen to Guy on Joe Rogan" guy, but biologist Bret Weinstein has some things to say on COVID's origins that are certainly food for thought. Does this mean he is right and should be taken as true? Of course not, but between this and his discussion of telomeric differences in lab mice, regular mice, and humans is certainly something to consider.
