Grim talking that shit about the Communist Party of China?

 

[Bobby Barrows]

You hate to see it.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I don't...Commies suck!

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Sucks how they fuck over their people tho.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

It's not like the CDC, WHO, or American Government did any better at handling this unmitigated disaster, btw. CDC didn't even *attempt* to produce any resources or ask for help in identifying and creating tests to check for the disease, WHO called it a pandemic despite the recovery rate of the disease being exponentially higher than the mortality rate, and the American government shutting down literally everything.

[Bobby Barrows]

Oh the media coverage of the disease is an even bigger disaster. The media looks at the infection rate and death toll of the disease, but doesn't look at the recovery rate of the disease.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Yep. Meanwhile the flu has taken the lives over 10,000 people.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Drew tries his best to explain mortality rate and infection rates.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Yep. Meanwhile the flu has taken the lives over 10,000 people.

Exactly, I was talking about this just the other day: The flu kills on average 12,000 people annually at the very minimum. Only 4,000 people have died from COVID-19. Not only that, people are shedding the disease like the common cold. It may be more infectious than the Spanish Flu, let's not debate that, because the infectiousness of the disease is probably the greatest threat, but the disease burns itself out at an astronomical rate.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Of course you hear news of people being discharged from the hospital after beating coronavirus only to die shortly afterwards, but that has more to do with the fact that the coronavirus specifically attacks the respiratory and immune system; it leaves people susceptible to Pneumonia.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I got a shitty immune system as it is.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

So, I’m gonna probably die y’all. rip me.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

I'm just more pissed about what this could mean for the XFL.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

They were absolutely hinging on high attendance numbers, and now it looks like that's not feasible anymore.
