No there are plenty of times it went down because of his big mouth on Twitter, or his dodgy trade deals with China. But specifically this is because of the virus.

Unrelated my ass

It's already spread to California, Italy, and Japan.

It is believed to have originated from a meat market in china that butchered a bat and got it's blood or feces on him.

Once a coronavirus vaccine is prepared, you bet your but I'm gonna take it. And I'll be glad to jab a few stupid people like you to make sure it doesn't spread too.

Also, you're dumb.

People's Democratic Republic of North Korea. Why don't you move there.

Democrats: "Everyone knows, border control is unethical."

Coronavirus: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

also, I made a meme:

Do that and it will be the last thing you ever do kid. I'll flatten your ass and you'll be a bloody mess on the pavement when I'm done pounding the living shit out of you. So think twice. You would be best to cross the street before coming near me Marc.

You don't want to push your luck with me kid. I can respect your opinion and if you want to be retarded and inject poison into your body, go for it, but if you EVER threaten me or my family with that shit, I WILL GET VERY VERY VIOLENT ON YOUR ASS!!! Guaranteed!!!

On another note...

I'm sorry but I can't stand anti-vaxxers. THEY ARE THE REASON THE DISEASES SPREAD! I don't immunize myself just for me but for others around me, who, if they got sick, would probably die. My mother just spent the last two months getting over a virus and if she got coronavirus she would die. So yeah, I will forcibly vaccinate you to protect my mother's life.

It is expected to take approximately 12-18 months before the vaccines are ready. If we can contain it that long, we will be safe.

They say it has a 'low' mortality rate. 2%. Guess what 2% of the population of the US is? 6 million people dead. That's another holocaust.

The coronavirus has a HIGH rate of TRANSMISSION, which means it can easily spread and die down, and flare back up at will.

The mortality rate rises with the age of the infected host. So old people will be the first ones to die. Youths and children showed the lowest rate of mortality.

EDIT FOR INTERIM POST FROM NITEHACKR
Neil why do you feel necessary to threaten me with violence? Your stupidity is what makes people sick. God gave us vaccines so the smart people would live. Go ahead and kill yourself off if you want, bother me not.

NEIL ROY (See I can play with your name like a child too)

Old man, I would knock you flat on your sorry A$$. Don't start shit you can't finish.

Yes, NEIL a VIRUS will SPREAD if people CARRY IT. The people who GET IT are the ones who aren't VACCINATED. Just because YOU ALONE have a LUCKY track record for the flu doesn't make EVERYONE ELSE SAFE.

And YOU are the one THREATENING VIOLENCE UPON ME because if YOU GET SICK and spread the DISEASE to someone ELSE who spreads it to someone ELSE who spreads it to one of my family or friends and WE DIE ITS YOUR FAULT. Vaccination is self defense. Any other ideology on this subject is just plain absurd. God gave us medicine and doctors so we could deal with sickness.

No vaccine is 100% effective, but in the vast majority of cases it grants you nearly full immunity to the virus. Viruses mutate though, and that means a vaccine for one strain of the virus won't necessarily protect you from another strain.

To say that ANY person is not 100% responsible for the other people they get sick, is not rational. If I know I have AIDS, and I have sex with someone without their knowledge of me having it, I have murdered them. I know someone who went to prison for 25 years for infecting someone with HIV unwittingly and knowingly. You are that person Neil.

EDIT
Thanks for pointing out the CDC.

See Why you should get vaccinated to put an end to this mythological archaic belief of yours.

Sorry Neil. No really, I'm sorry you're so thick.

The LORD set me upon a rock.

The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

First of all, you need to stop taking everything so literally. You think I really give a fuck enough about you to fly all the way to some freezing ass wilderness in Canada to vaccinate you against your will? It's called hyperbole.

Second, you need to stop threatening me. And you need to get this complex out of your head that my identity is any of your business. I prefer anonymity but you insist on outing me! I care not. I am not the same person nor am I in the same situation I was in before. I needed anonymity for my own safety, but here you are using my real name repeating it like some barking dog. So by your own action, you are threatening my life.

Be like water my friend. Water can be still, or it can be violent. Be still.

Only in the silence can we hear our Creator.

By the way, you should really stop talking to yourself alone in alleys. It's frankly, a little disturbing.

@NiteHackr: I'm legitimately curious, are you against all vaccines or just some? For example, do you routinely get vaccinated for tetanus?

If I did it would surely help with the 4/5 sick days I've used already this year. My symptoms seemed to start with a sore throat though and that seems to be very uncommon with coronavirus though so I likely have something else. I'm guessing a flu. I haven't bothered going to a hospital because I have no reason to believe that it's bacterial (and no reason to believe that it's as severe as coronavirus) and so doctors can't do anything for me.

I've never had a flu shot before in my life, but now I want to get one every year! Our bodies are very complicated and very fragile. They're also very powerful. They can automatically ward off many infections. It's really quite impressive. Of course, that doesn't mean that you won't suffer along the way. Only that you'll probably survive [most things you're likely to catch]. For a man that doesn't work for a living I guess that's OK. What does it hurt to be uncomfortable at home? For a man that is expected to show up 240 days a year though getting seriously sick is a real bummer.

I've had a rough few days, but my body seems to be winning. My body is still fighting though. I still have a sore throat and a dry cough. No prescription medicine (there really isn't any for viruses). No flu shot. That doesn't mean that a flu shot wouldn't have helped prevent this in the first place though. I've been sick plenty of times in my lifetime. Probably more often than average. My immune system is still struggling with it though. Append: Also to help my immune system get on top of this I've avoided alcohol and cannabis^[1], and I've been popping Advil to relieve aches and chills, and "Cold-FX(tm)" to hopefully provide me with the necessary vitamins and minerals to fuel my fight. It's still been slow going though.

My wife teaches children so I have the unfortunate pleasure of her, with her battle hardened immune system, carrying bugs home nearly every week that my body gets to go up against. Parents are also expected to show up 240 days a year or more because our government doesn't believe that sick people should stay isolated, and so those parents cannot afford to stay home with their sick children, and instead they all send their sick children to school to infect all of the other children (and their families, and the teachers' families).

It's much more likely that either (a) you still have diabetes, and are either improving through lifestyle changes (studies have shown that changing to a more healthy diet can pretty much reverse some types of diabetes) or simply don't realize how close you are to abandoning your wife; OR (b) your doctor misdiagnosed you in the first place. Medicine is not magic. Doctors don't really know what is going on in our bodies. This isn't a TV show or movie. They just have a general understanding of how the human body works, and how previously identified conditions present themselves, and what tests may strongly correlate to those conditions. It's still a lot of guesswork though. It's even worse in Ontario (or Canada in general) where the health care sector is underfunded and where we struggle to keep good doctors around (or any doctors, for that matter).

The media is run by corporations. For-profit corporations, most of the time. Publicly funded media is controlled by government that is controlled by for-profit corporations. If you think that for-profit corporations want economic problems then you're deluded. The media prints what sells the best. It's not scare tactic to warn people about coronavirus. It is very deadly. Several doctors and even administrators in the ground zero hospital have died from it. These people probably have some of the best immune systems in the world, and they have medical training for treating and containing viruses. That didn't help them though. It's no joke.

Stupid people are threatened by that which they do not understand. Also, since they tend to be wrong they're worried that their bubble will pop and their lives will change. People are afraid of change because it's necessarily uncomfortable.

Border control doesn't mean much unless you're going to shut down your border and restrict Americans from coming back too. People of colour aren't more likely to be infected with coronavirus than caucasians. Travel of any kind right now seems risky to me. Then I don't travel for a living so that's easy for me to say. Without evidence to suggest that Mexico is improperly handling the coronavirus threat, or that it is losing the battle, it's pure racism to target that border.

I haven't heard anything about it so I just Googled. A day ago apparently there were 2 or 3 confirmed cases in Mexico. Well there have been way more in Canada. About 8 of them in Southern Ontario (a hundred miles from NiteHackr) which is right next to the US border (and also shares waterways with the US, though I'm not sure that matters).

If the USA is going to shut down borders over coronavirus I think it would make more sense to shut down the border with Canada first at this point. That won't likely happen though. Perhaps because the majority of Canadians are still caucasian.

Also some American communities on the Northern border rely on Canadian commerse to even exist.

Big tough man picking a fight with children, eh!

Well, yeah, because you're not very intelligent and your hormones quickly overpower your intellect. That's not something to be proud of, though. I feel very sorry for you. I suggest anger management therapy, or perhaps talk to your doctor about treatment options to help control your rage. It's not like you don't have the time...

I mean, it was Jesus that said turn the other cheek. You're a complete fucking hypocrite. It's embarrassing. The reason you stop posting is because you realize you're making a fool of yourself. Unfortunately, after a year or so you forget and you come back and do it again. Maybe you should write a sticky-note on your monitor to wade through past threads before posting again so you can avoid it in the future.

Also, while it's really not funny, I can't help being amused by the "church" (cult) in South Korea that is being accused of causing the virus to spread so quickly:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/21/world/asia/south-korea-coronavirus-shincheonji.html

https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2020/02/27/world/asia/27reuters-china-health-southkorea-church.html

Certainly, just pray to God and he'll protect you!

It's that kind of stupid thinking that holds humanity back.

I dunno,

These forums are becoming less and less fun to visit with time. I think I'll eventually just stop visiting and follow in the footsteps of Trent G, Peter W and many more. Is Aaron Bolyard the only one even making games around here anymore?

NiteHackr you just don't like making a fool out of yourself, which is all you seem to be doing.
