My solution is for the Chinese to just eat beef like normal people. It is not my fault Asian people are lactose intolerant.

beef has far more unpleasant zoonotic diseases. enjoy your brain-rotted prion disorder.

Less than 100 people ever died from Mad Cow disease. Meanwhile people eating bats gave the world Ebola and COVID.
mad cow disease mostly affected cows. humans have been host to a whole range of mutated prion disorders.
yes, the US was fortunate that the variant of H1N1 which went epidemic in the swine flu outbreak of 2009 wasn't as nasty as covid. but that's all it is, really, a good stroke of initial luck in the infectiousness and fatality of a disease.Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD), its variant (vCJD), Gerstmann–Sträussler–Scheinker syndrome (GSS), fatal familial insomnia (FFI) and kuru

I will say that I am bothered by the overall sinophobia going on right now. What annoys me is how it bleeds into everything else. I think China deserves to get called out for unleashing COVID and being a bad neighbor. But I don't want any discussion of China to turn into an airing of grievances or pretending that China hasn't done some amazing things and doesn't have some good qualities. And I greatly resent failures of westerners to get blamed on China. "China steals American jobs!" Like, no. The white guys who own western corporations sent your job to China. "China is hard to do business with!" Like, no. China just protects it's internal market unlike the leaders who regulate ours are supposed to.
This is the same thing when it comes to Islam. There is a lot I like there and a lot I am critical of. But the stuff to be critical about doesn't give you an excuse to show up to protest at a mosque dressed like American Sniper.

How can you not see the connection in disparaging the Chinese for the eating practices of some people, blaming cultural attitudes, calling it the Chinese virus, and an increase in sinophobia...
he's just trolling.

Because they really are eating bats. That's entirely within their power to stop.Larssen wrote:

That show is so insane that walmart libertarian guy comes off as the most well-adjusted of everyone.
british people are all feeling smug because louis theroux did a documentary on that exact guy about 15 years ago. he seemed unhinged then.
Louis Theroux always does the most top quality work. He's amazingly good at coming off as a curious moron. He's anything but. Such a British take on gonzo journalism.

Whenever I hear his name i think of his dad. My mom was a fan of his dad's writing, so i read a few of his books back in the long long ago.
his brother or cousin or something is married to jennifer aniston.
Whole family has talent. A writer. A presenter. A pipe layer.

lol the despondent gaze of Louis at the end of that clip. Just amazed at the philosophical prowess of a man with 40 earrings and a mullet.

I've read a lot of hindsight and navel-gazing about whether we overreacted to swine flu and seen it weirdly applied to the coronavirus. I just think we were lucky H1N1 wasn't worse than it was. It easily could have been.uziq wrote:

Even now we're lucky that SARS-CoV-2 may not be as lethal as SARS-CoV. Lucky that something this contagious didn't end up being an even worse virus where the mortality rate is into the middle double digits. We'd still have gun-toting morons protesting on the steps of their state capital and moms staging play-date protests at closed parks, where their kids spread the virus to other kids.
But back to the animals, I think Egypt exterminating pigs was probably unnecessary.
Would like to think he's just trolling, but to this day I still have no idea how many neighborhood pets met a grisly end at his hands.Larssen wrote:

I don't call it China virus. I call it COVID. And when did I shit talk Chinese culture? All I am saying is don't eat bats. I have been anti-bat eating since Ebola.
BTW, this is where I'd say I was right about everything, but I really don't have to now do I?
