I think i know what you mean by arguing against myself.
But i am not really. There is just a very basic problem to decision making.
Most decisions are based on:
1. trying to achieve something
2. trying to avoid something
Very basic, as i said.
When you try to achieve something through actions, you have to closely watch that you don't support developments which finally result in what you tried to avoid. These are many things, most of the time. Good example to this: Trump. He puts actions to achieve MAGA goals, but almost all of them backfire. Why? Because his principles follow method no.1 without respecting method no.2.
That's where economists end epidemiologists would come in handy. The latter can project the spread, while the former are able to evaluate the unwanted outcomes.
Populism goes in the other direction. Assume some more damage.
There is only one thing that is worse than making a decision: Delaying actions and ignoring developments by not making decisions. This is what Italy, Europe and the US did until a week ago. Waiting out. Which will show its fatal consequences soon. The UK is a week or two behind. Optimism did not do anything to solve a problem, ever.

I mostly agree with you, except that UK isn't guilty of not making a decision. It has made a definite decision not to impose enforced isolation now, in the hope of avoiding an unmanageable peak further down the line. I'm not saying it's the right decision. But it might be. Nor is UK a week or two behind, they've chosen a different strategy. Of course that may change, and probably will, more due to political pressure and the need to be seen to be doing something, whether it's effective or not. The media love to jump on alleged inaction.

They way our media presents it, the UK minister of health is waiting out, refusing to cancel events with a lot of people.
By a week behind, i was thinking in numbers/covid-charts compared to Italy over time.
So it seems i fell victim of the media. My wishing well a few posts before was honest, no irony there, btw.

People will panic, hospitals will break down, their staff will break down too. China, Italy as role models.

You need to understand that China for like a month had no idea what strike them. They did not had any tests. It was flu season and people that got infected were treated like they have flu. A big part of 3000+ Chines that died died so that the rest of the world had Covid tests weeks in advance than they got the first patient. They had time to prepare. China did extremely well! Of course them being second biggest economy helped them tremendously.

Yes, China definitely is the "good" role model of the two. Sorry for not being clear enough.
Taking a break of posting, body and mind are dragging me to sleep.

Jesus Christ I need a @JSRAW cheat sheet update, this shit is ridiculous.

Didn't anyone run out and get their TP instead of posting??

Is Mindrust still spazzing out?
Brad didn't crack this time did he?
Is Lambie still changing data to make his predictions true?
Is Toxic Tourque back for good or just for the show?
Are cats and dogs getting married?
Did Infrofront eat his dick delete the thread?

America is not showing a great deal of diligence with their airport queues.

People are spending 6 hours or more jammed that close together coming back from Europe which I'm led to believe is bringing the 'foreign virus' over due to not being Winners.

Damn, glad I'm not going anywhere. Guess if they didn't shovel everybody in together, people would be stretched out waiting on the tarmac. Hopefully nobody had a cough.

Standing for 6 hours like that is pure torture. And I heard breathing is enough to spread it. Ever without a cough.

Ok guys, that's it. I'm done with the WO for a few months.

There's enough overblown lunacy in the MSM over this coronavirus, I don't need to come here and read the same panicky bullshit (it's the fkn flu guys).

I'll probably log back in sometime in May or June when this whole thing has blown over.

And when it has, I'll surely raz the shit out of some of you hypochondriacs daily when I come back (you know who you are...the ones predicting hundreds of thousands or millions of people dead).

But then who will tell us that it's just the flu bro?

Maybe good timing tho. Let's see how the absolute numbers compare when you come back.

You're the first one I'll be razzing.

Remember how you spent a few years arguing about the Bitcoin blocksize urgently needed to be raised? Remember that? You were DEAD wrong, Ibian.

... Or maybe we will all be dead and there won't be any WO to come back to.

Think about it.

Would you believe I want to be wrong?

And the blocksize was raised. It was just done in the overly complicated way instead of the simple way. More complicated something is, the easier it breaks. We have a long time to see if that was the correct solution.

Hey, Give him a break. I just took him off ignore a few days back and the very first post I read he was saying that creating vaccines are stupid because viruses mutate. doh, I refrained but am still hovering that button again.

Fuck China.
First they tried to destroy Bitcoin, that wasn't enough so now they are trying to destroy the world.

Fuck their communism, lack of hygiene, wet food markets, lack of animal welfare.
The world would be better off without China.

Eyes glazed over after reading this...

Trying not to look at charts last few days, I do my best to avoid stress.

Thats what this thread used to be good for.

Think about it.

nah.. the WO its its own blockchain now. like mining only needing a single machine to keep the chain alive, WO just needs one shitposter to survive.

taking numbers now.
