Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[BowlBrother85]

So in actuality you agree that referring to this particular virus as THE pandemic is incorrect and it should be referred to with a more specific name because what you just described is 100's of different diseases. Ergo, when you refer to this particular disease you are purposefully using a word that may or may not strike unreasonable fear where it doesn't belong.

It would only strike fear in someone, if they don't know what it means. Personally, I don't customize my vocabulary to accommodate the ignorance of others. It's just a general description. You seem to think of the word "pandemic" as being a political dog whistle on the part of liberals. That is weird. Trump has called the Coronavirus a "pandemic" in several of his tweets. Pandemic is an appropriate, but general description of the disease.

Because it is A pandemic but not THE pandemic. I'm done. Try to appear intelligent if you can.

Does pandemic have a connotation here other than fear mongering?

How else do you describe a worldwide contagious disease?

The fact you don't see the difference between blaming the virus on a Communist dictatorship and a political opponent really says it all, lol.

Spilled milk at this point

Are you saying it was pejorative to call it the China Virus?

Then why was the baker sued and nearly driven out of business?

The liberals tried to support the baker, but he wouldn't do business with them.

Are you serious with this? LOL. You seem easily flustered over semantics.

 

[Purple Tiger]

So, are you saying no-liberals do not support small business? You act like Liberals do no wrong!

Try rewording that question so it makes some sense.

It is. But it’s pretty shameless to put somebody’s name on something like that; especially while it’s happening.

 

[82_VOL_83]

This one I CALL Covid 19. Others I call SARS, Swine (or barry as we are now doing) Flu, the Flu, a cold, rotovirus, cholera and any other name that is appropriate to describe exactly what is being talked about. It is a pandemic? Yes. Is it THE pandemic? No.

He spurned their support and they didn't like it so they tried to sue him out of business. What part of leave us the **** alone don't you get?

Agree

When talking about the flu, what do you call it? When talking about the common cold, what do you call it? When talking about the Swine flu, Bird flu, SARS, etc. what do/did you call it?

 

[UT_VOLS13]

Try rewording that question so it makes some sense.

Do you believe you are better than other people?

Normal people in business do not say leave us the f alone.

I am when you use a commonly misunderstood term with intent to strike fear. That is all the use of that word does now. And not easily flustered, I usually don't take a stance on your other ********.

I guess not in the seminary they don't but that has nothing to do with the topic being discussed.

 

[Purple Tiger]

Do you believe you are better than other people?

No, I get a lot of $hitty questions asked of me and I am sure not answering one I cannot understand. Do you have an inferiority complex?

I spent 25 years in the corporate world. I based my answer on that experience.

Nope

I don’t know, but this argument feels like torture.

I got his point. You need some more deep introspective thoughts.

Hold on.... I’m having one right now.

That's a bowel movement.
