Xzi and LumInvader have been littering this entire thread with images yet theirs don't get deleted.

So do you call other deadly viruses by there place of origin? I bet you don't
Are you saying African Aids?
Are you saying West African Ebola
Are you saying English vCJD
Are you saying German Marburg
Are you saying American Hantaviruses
Ect ect
Sorry but you calling Corona Virus what you are calling it looks rather xenophobic.
Have you reported them?
Which is why you wear a damn mask and social distance to stop the spread of a virus that can be extremely deadly. In just the short time we have been in this pandemic, COVID has taken the lives of almost 1.5 million people worldwide. Families have been separated, people have been forced into poverty, and more cases are on the rise. Vaccines are thankfully seeing progress, but we still have to get to that point and COVID is not going to change in the meantime.
I have seen the same tired argument of how it can somehow be a violation to your freedom to wear mask, how? It is literally an effective practice that has a precedent of effectiveness and most importantly, NOT VIOLATING ANY FREEDOMS WHATSOEVER. What is so hard to grasp about this? This kind of shit is why COVID got to this point in the first place. More asymptomatic cases actually makes COVID worse than the regular flu since you don't even know if you have it and can expose it to people at high risk without even knowing it. Not to mention, just because you have no symptoms does not mean that COVID does not cause you damage. (Sources: here, here, here)
Making matters worse is that this is very inconsistent and we have no pattern at all. So we do not know anything until we are tested.
And what does it matter if your family agrees with your ass backwards views? All it does is give me the impression that they are just as ignorant as you are regarding this virus. But I know you will carry on being you, so I would love to see you go outside maskless, not socially distancing, and generally acting careless and eventually catch the virus yourself. Seems that at this point, that's the only thing that will make you realize that this virus is no joke. And don't even get started with the "then just stay at home" bullshit. People cannot stay at home forever, they have to go outside to work to make income, they have to go to buy vital resources. And not everyone is lucky enough to be able to live a sustainable life without going outside the comfort of their homes. Not to mention, what about people who do not even have a home in the first place? They are even more vulnerable and don't have a home to stay on.
Probably because the administration was more focused on downplaying the virus instead of taking action? Probably because people had to just politicize and make a big fuss about basic health regulations? Probably because we have people like UltraSUPRA refusing to wear a mask because of asinine reasons? Probably because people like you are still not taking this seriously by calling this virus "not very deadly"? There is a very simple reason why the U.S. has almost 13 million cases and 261 thousand deaths. It is simply because of incompetency from everyone. Government to common folks, the U.S. was clearly not ready to deal with this virus and it shows.

Because your favorite cult leader was undermining them at every turn. Trump failed to stop or even slow the spread of the virus, and that's why he was given the boot. Key word: FAILED.
Sure, there's hundreds of articles related to the topic, but here's one that helps convey what the CCP is doing and why I'm calling it the original name it was given.

Survival? You mean wearing a cloth over your face, hiding in your residence and sometimes having to stand in line in the grocery store. That sounds like it's really tough and horrible, not.
The only time I wear a mask is when I'm in an establishment that requires you wear one and while some shops closing has altered my routine I've made up for it by just going to the stores and restaurants that are still open in place of the ones I used to frequent. As we're not living under socialist rule you're allowed to be scared and hide from the Chinese Wuhan Corona Virus, but I'm not going to. Never have and probably never will.

He failed to mention that all my posts with images have at least a sentence or two to go with them. No image-only posts.
You're free to be afraid of something that's so deadly you didn't even know you had it without a test, but I'm not going to be.

The USA response wasn't optimal, but neither was any other countries in the world. If China wouldn't have hid to fact it was spreading in Wuhan then maybe less people would have died. I know that people like to blame Trump for their local governments response, but during the months of Dec 2020 and Jan 2020 while Trump was acting all the Democrats/Liberals did was called him a racist xenophone, were having their impeachment trials and downplayed the virus. I'm not sure about you, but I find someone responding to the situation better than someone not responding at all.
Lol. Did anyone say anything about about anti-vaxing? Character assassination doesn't change what is presented in the video. I'm entertaining bets.
What was your side doing initially when Trump was fighting the virus? Oh yeah, trying to impeach Trump while downplaying and ignoring the threat.

Yes, my reports go ignored. You've also erased my post here with swear words in it, but then allow the opposite side of the political spectrum to say the same things I was saying against my side. @Xzi tries to justify posting MEME's because they contain a little bit of text in them, but @UltraSUPRA 's MEMEs also sometimes contain text and they are deleted.
Do you have something that's a little more... relevant? Because that article is from March 13th, and you said "Right now the CCP is running a smear campaign against the USA that tells their citizens that the USA started the virus." I'd assume if this was something that was still happening "right now" there'd be some coverage of it, even if from hyper-partisan right-wing sources.
"Survival" can extend beyond "trying not to die". It can also involve things like ensuring I have a roof over my head. Figuring out what to cook for dinner. Making sure that the needs of myself and my friends and family are accounted for. Also worth noting is that you haven't refuted my claim that your focus is retribution.
Maybe if he has such a one-track mind that he can only focus on literally one single thing at a time, he might not be fit to lead a country.
The thing is I didn't name the Chinese Wuhan Corona Virus. It was named that originally and called that for months. It wasn't until the CCP started their smear campaign that the media was forced to call it something else. Of course, the Liberals eat up the fake bullshit coming from the leftist media so they played along with China's game. I'm not going to. I'm going to call the virus by its original name and keep pointing out that it originated in Wuhan, China.
Ok so we have admitted that Joe Biden has won and now we are diverting to mask ... but we conservative need to make the world more a shittier dangerous place.. either Trump or mask?

Lol you are pure garbage..
Full transparency - you've reported a total of four posts from those two users. One of which was removed as a violation of the image-only post rule. The others were not found to be in violation of that rule. This is not some large-scale targeted plot to ignore your reports.
Edit 2 - Also full transparency, none of said reports were handled by me. And since I'm probably the most active staffer in this thread, I generally try not to moderate things in this thread as an effort to remove any of my own bias from my moderation decisions. But if I see something that is right in front of my eyes while I'm in this thread, and it is a blatant violation of the rules, I am going to handle it as is appropriate.

Now it's your turn to try to come up with reasons to discredit the sources like you originally did with my first link. I actually find it a waste of time to give your side any sources because all you do is bitch and moan about them because they happen to be on sites your side doesn't allow you to read.
Maybe your search results are being customized based on your poltiical perfernece and there is polictal bias in the major search engines, but I found hundreds of links relating to what China has been doing. March was just a few months ago and China hasn't stopped claiming the USA started the virus.

Okay, full transparency, I believe I also reported other users for ignoring the no meme rule. The thing is, @Xzi's and @LumInvaders's memes don't get deleted and @UltraSUPRA's do. That's the entire reason I reported the images, which happen to be memes in the first place.
Seems you overlooked the fact that even asymptomatic COVID cases can in some cases cause damage to the patient. And while the damage may not kill you, it sure as hell leaves you vulnerable to die of other diseases in the long run.
I could care less about your partisan rhetoric. When I said that this is due to incompetency from everyone, I really meant everyone. Left, right, middle, whatever. The fact of the matter is that Donald Trump has constantly downplayed the virus publicly and best of all, caught the virus himself. Not to mention host mega rallies that even contributed to the spread of COVID in the U.S. It is also true that (at least now) the Democratic party has argued to follow the science and guidelines established by organizations such as the CDC. And while I do not disagree with you in regards to the Chinese government's typical practices of secrecy and lack of transparency and how that affected the outcome of the pandemic, it does not matter that much at the end of the day. Since even then, there does exist examples of countries that have handled the pandemic efficiently. Look at New Zealand for instance, only 2,039 cases and 25 deaths. And no, it has nothing to do with population. How come Indonesia has fewer cases than Brazil? There are more people in Indonesia than in Brazil and yet Brazil has 6 million cases to Indonesia's 512K cases. It is about being efficient, and the U.S. has failed at this.

Everyone right of Stalin in this thread has witnessed you mod conservatives, while a progressive is doing the exact same thing on the same page.
We all just know to avoid this thread while your active and you aren't enough of a adult to debate without being at risk of being modded for things everyone else is doing in this.
And I don't just blindly bitch about modding, I ate a suspension from @VinsCool I lost my temper and had i was being a bigger dick than usual and had it coming. You however are sitting here using the mod button to troll.
My focus is simply living life and not allowing stupid people to get me down. That includes going out every single day to some establishment, exercising, eating right, making sure I show up for my job. For me, not much has changed since the Chinese Wuhan Corona Virus started. I was following the story in late November 2020 and watched it unfold. I follow the mask mandates in places I go to and I wash my hands, but people aren't dropping like flies around me. This sickness, it infects more people than the flu and there's no vaccine, but even so it's still not that deadly.
Our original 2 week shut down to "flatten the curve" failed, our long term 10 month approach failed, wearing masks and social distancing also failed at containing the virus. I'm not going to hide in my house just because a virus that's not even that deadly is being spread around. If I was afraid of germs I'd be a shut in that never leaves my house. I just find living in fear to be pointless and detrimental to ones health.
I'm not going to let a bunch of scared or power hungry people get to me over some simple virus. You see, telling me what I have to think or what I can or cannot do doesn't go over well regardless of who is trying to manipulate and control me. Right now that would be liberals, their liberal social media and liberal main stream media. I'm not weak, you're not going to be able to manipulate me. If I give you the impression I'm being manipulated then I am giving that impression for a reason and that reason doesn't include actually being manipulated.
I choose freedom over fear.
