Berlin, the place to be! Right? Come on everyone cheer up.
Why's there no debate in Germany about number of available hospital beds, number of ventilators? Why are there no drug trials here for anti-viral medications? Why's there barely a peep on the availability of masks, hand disinfectant and protective gear for medical personnel? In other countries that is almost all that is talked about in the media and if you dig a little you'll see that Germany is suffering from the same strain in all of these areas that most other countries are facing (just as an example, lookup the amount of ventilators available in Germany, after emergency measures, compared to what's available in the US). I have become thoroughly convinced that Germany's image as being methodical and prepared is just the result of a class of journalists who are nothing more than toothless lapdogs. Germany is really good and controlling the flow of information and absolutely nothing more.
Germans are not methodical; they are tedious and unimaginative. Germans are not prepared, they are just resistant to change. Rather than prepare, they try to keep things always the same. Somehow people confused these things and gave them a reputation they don't deserve.
This whole CV-19 flu propaganda hype, smells of Agenda 21.
An illness that originated at a wet market only a few km from a lab in China that has a history not only of testing coronavirus in bats, but also has a history of poor protocol that resulted in at least one researcher having to self-quarantine twice due to unintentional transmission of bodily fluids? An illness that China hid for months until it could no longer be contained and then fought worldwide to keep most media from referring to it as Wuhan virus or Chinese virus? And an illness that conveniently only kills the old and weak (99% of deaths in Italy have been people with at least 1 underlying condition, something like 70% have 3 or more). Also a disease that, according to Hubei research, likely causes fertility issues in men due to concentrations that accumulate in the testes? Definitely no Agenda 21, definitely nothing more to see than what "official communications" tell us. Claiming anything else is a conspiracy theory and everyone who says otherwise needs to visit a reeducation camp.
It's not the CoVid-19 flu I'm talking about you morons, I'm talking about the hyper hype propaganda surrounding it. Or the the same propaganda hype is about destroying the Chinese economy so they give up plans of becoming the world's reserve trade currency, not that idiots like yourselves would even know the implications of what I'm writing about, so either educate yourselves or STFU www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/03/24/trump-calls-for-american-independence-agenda-to-defeat-coronavirus-u-s-must-never-rely-on-a-foreign-country/
The 6,000,000 lost masks.Of course nobody knows why,how,when.This is typicaly German working style I saw everyday at my workplace.Nobody cares no one knows novody do their duty properly...Masks stolen form the hospital in Köln too...uhm..
LOL Why were they ordered from some country in Africa? Who believes this? It's just typical German news reporting that takes the long route to always arrive at the same conclusion: Blame foreigners for everything.
Why aren't German journalists talking about hospital ventilators? It's top news in the US every single day. There's a shortage here too. But there's no way to spin that to blame it on a foreign country. It's like all the Germans questioning statistics from Russia and China regarding deaths but unable to question their own dumb country. That's a real sign of blind patriotism. Say what you want about American patriotism, at least we're capable of questioning our own country.
Just look at the stories linked on the homepage of Spiegel. Over the past 2 weeks the majority of them have been about other countries (Trump, Italy, China). Germans' obsession with what other countries are doing is just a way to keep these serfs from questioning their own government's weaknesses. But I guess we shouldn't worry since it'll soon be illegal to wrote stuff like this on the internet.
“I ask you not to believe rumours, but only the official communications” - Angela Merkel
China's economy is going down the toilet because everyone is in isolation and not buying any of their stupid products, so no re-orders, this is he plan of the CV-19 hyper propaganda. The USA are absolutely brilliant at everything they do.
Not while they don't have "world reserve currency" status, which belongs to the USA, and that is why China desperately wants reserve currency status and that is what this whole financial/propaganda war is all about. Whoever has reserve currency status, wins. I'll be phucked if any Maoist communist is going to tell me what to think. Chinese are brainwashed robots, they believe anything they are told, just like Germans.
Whats better than self isoltation? Self isolation where you can hear someone coming in the room next door.
Really, what could we have expected from a country whose national anthem begins with the word "Uniformity"?
Germans have at least one problem for every solution you provide them professionally on the working environment.
These people are born to be grumpy and to be complaining.
It's al about the dollar baby. The USA is in the process of teaching China a very big lesson and they are using the Corona Virus hype to do it. Trump is a master at 4 dimensional chess.
China are trying to take over from the USA to be the world's reserve currency, and the USA will do anything to hang onto their currency dominance, even oil is traded through USA petro dollars. By hyping up the CV-19, and keeping people in their homes, they can't buy Chinese goods and this will destroy the Chinese economy and no one will take them seriously to be the world's reserve trade currency. Bu most dumb-phucks don't even know what the petro dollar system is. 99% of people are naive sheep.
looking forward to self isolation. My right arm is going to be absolutely massive by the end of it.
Follow the dollar and join the dots to understand what the C v-19 is really about. The west must destroy the Chinese economy for our survival. If you don't like our capitalist, christian-based democratic societies in the west, then go and live in a maoist/marxist communist shiithole or be forced by Islamic tyrants. to wear burkas.

Because flu seasons vary in length and severity, the estimates have ranged from a low of 12,000 deaths (during 2011-2012) to a previous high of 56,000 (during 2012-2013). Yet no lockdown in those years. Don't be such naive sheep, there is more to this than meets the eye.
It feels like Germany is rapidly degenerating into an overt police state and everyone is cheering it on. Now you can't even sit on a bench in public all by yourself anymore. Just to go outside you must have identification and proof of address. How do either of those measures prevent infection? If Germany had a decent separation of powers then their judicial branch would strike this down as unconstitutional. My best guess is that spreading fake news and misinformation (a very specific kind of misinformation - everyone reading this knows exactly which kind is meant) will become punishable by fine and, ultimately, imprisonment.
Would it not be better to just let this thing run it's course and build a bunch of make-shift hospitals like China did? Does Europe and the US really lack the technology and supplies to erect a bunch of pop up hospitals on the spot? Instead of shutting down the economy and entire societies, why not build until we can house most of the infected?
The Muslim world has just as much animosity towards the Chinese Communist Party as everyone else. 1 million Muslim Uighurs in concentration camps, their lands stolen, ethnically cleansed. That's a lot of bad blood that could be used in a potential CIA uprising/rebellion against the CPC. Maybe funnel weapons and supplies through Kazakhstan. I'm generally a paleolibertarian who decries intervention but maybe the Chinese need a bloody nose from a group that has a reason for vengeance. Just an idea.
China needs it's own version of the Treaty of Versailles. Time to make them pay the brunt of this mess, and if they don't, they need to be crippled economically until they do. Let the global shaming commence.
You total moron! People like you need to wake up....this is not China bashing its telling the truth. Research it and open your darn eyes you muppet! www.youtube.com/watch
Even if the virus didn't come from China I will always speak out against and condemn the CCCP. Before this they were tightening the screws on Hong Kong. Why don't you ask how Tibetans and Uighurs feel about "China bashing"? Might be a little hard considering half of their populations are currently in Chinese concentration camps. fornicate China.
It really is weird to see people bending over backwards not to offend China. The insistence that no one call it Wuhan virus or Chinese flu, the fact that Trump explicitly stated in a recent press conference that people shouldn't blame Americans of Chinese descent, the fact that the CDC Covid19 website dedicates multiple sections to the fact that people shouldn't attack Chinese for this crime. It's not organic and none of these things happened 8 years ago when Middle East respiratory syndrome was an issue. China's got its fingers in every pie.
It's hard to take Spiegel seriously when they publish pieces like this and expect people to think that even private German media isn't directly controlled by the state. This is some of the worst journalism I've seen lately and it was a headline story on their web page:
https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/medizin/coronavirus-warum-ist-die-todesrate-in-deutschland-niedriger-als-in-anderen-laendern-a-2bb61605-c72d-41b3-8d75-a51c3ee2e5fd#
The entire piece reads like the kind of specious explanation you'd give to a schoolchild you just want to silence. The piece boils down possible reasons for so few deaths in Germany as follows:
1. The outbreak is too early compared to other countries: This is an obvious lie. Europe's patient zero is believed to be a 33-year-old Bavarian male who infected a dozen others in January. The media likes to portray that outbreak as confined to only a few cases. Extremely unlikely.
2. Italy has an older population compared to Germany: It's simply not true at all. In fact, Italy is YOUNGER on average than Germany. Every metric you look at shows this kindergarten-level thought experiment to be wrong. Median age Italy = 45.5 ; Median age Germany = 47.1. Population above 65 Italy = 21.69%; Population above 65 Germany = 22.36%.
3. An over-strained healthcare system: Compared with Italy this is probably true. But compared with Japan and South Korea, two of the few countries that beat Germany in terms of hospital beds per capita. South Korea's death rate is 30x that of Germany and Japan's is 92x Germany's! Both of those countries have lower overall rates of Chinese Virus. And just to compare, South Korea has tested around 270,000 people by now while Germany has tested only 167,009 so it's reasonable to conclude that the underlying cause isn't under-diagnosis in South Korea.
4. Spiegel essentially repeats #1. This is not the beginning of an outbreak in Germany.
At every point Spiegel is publishing opinions that are at direct odds with verifiable facts.
What Spiegel completely ignores is that the Robert Koch Institute has publicly stated that no post Mortem tests are carried out in Germany. If you die in Germany with symptoms that look like Chinese Virus then you're simply not considered a Chinese Virus death. People like Dr. Giovanni Maga also have publicly accused Germany of under reporting by classifying Chinese Virus deaths as something else.
Maybe there's something special about Germans that keeps them from dying from Chinese Virus. Maybe Germany's healthcare system is 92x better than Japan's. Maybe Germans are just so healthy that Chinese Virus doesn't bother them like it does every single other nationality on earth. But maybe, just maybe, the government is lying (again).
When you get done reading their article, have a look at the (heavily moderated) comment section. It's full of people blaming the weather, the population density and everything else. But surprisingly to no one, it's not full of people even mildly suggesting that the government is publishing inaccurate statistics.
