    True. Vlads hinting that the cold in Russia slows it down seems speculation too. Seems wise to point all the speculation out! :)
    If its based on something more, Vlad or others, please correct me :)

    Not too worried about my government clinging on such temporary crisis methods afterwards, if they would take such further control. But yes, far less certain about other countries governments.

    So explain why, the greatest number of those infected in Europe are in Italy and Spain - both countries having warmer climates than countries in Northern Europe and certainly a lot warmer than Russia, notwithstanding parts of Russia border on China, and also India, Afghanistan etc, etc.

    You realize the hardest hit area in Italy is famous for wintersport? Which is one of the reasons how it spread so fast from Lombardy to other places in Europe: tourists on wintersport

    Sadly many people will have to do this. Thankfully I won't. I have money in savings to cover my ass. Our governor came out yesterday with a "plan" to help small business of 2-50 employees. Many people in my industry are sole proprietors like myself. She closed our doors on Sunday saying we arent allowed to work then refuses to help us. Her plan was to offer small business loans putting people further in debt. I don't have the answers but neither does she.

    I'm not sure. Just saying your theory on colder and warmer temps and how the coronavirus reacts to it seem uncertain.
    Considering what we do know for certain regarding viruses and cold and warmer weather it could be wrong. That a warmer country is atm harder hit by the virus than others could have several reasons

    Dafuq? EU is giving orders to Sth America now?


    "The European Union is aiming to make sure Ecuador’s airports remain open after officials in Guayaquil, Ecuador’s largest city, attempted to stop an arriving flight from Spain last week.

    Cynthia Viteri, the mayor of Guayaquil, confirmed she supported local officials in blocking off a runway at the José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport, which they accomplished by strategically placing trucks in the path of any incoming aircraft, Fox News reported"

    I am only smoking cigarettes to die earlier.

    But lets be real, you need a more harmful substance if you wanna die. It takes too long for cigarettes to kill you.
     
  10. I don't think you even want to die, Grandeur. I just think you long for others who love life as much as you do.

    I want to shorten my life.

    And cigarettes are waste of time. I know.


    Do you have any suggestion for me to shorten my life with legal things?

    Fall asleep in bed with a lit cigarette and you could be dead within an hour.
     
  13. No, you are a protector, and you're valuable. Other people will just throw their lives away.

    Burning is one of the most painful deaths. It is out of question.
     
  15. Have you ever learned about the bull? The ancients used to put people in a metal bull and light a fire below it. But you'll find euphoria always dominates torture.
     
  16. It is only the fear that sinks below.

    That was the Brazen bull, but the number of people killed in it is less than you'd imagine, though the first person killed it it was actually its inventor and creator.
     
  18. Wow. That's so hilarious somehow.
     
  19. To me, that is hellish, though. To suffer and die in someone else's icon. Still I say it is folly. We are one people.
