The coronavirus had long devastated the country. But Prince Albert was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of his crenellated abbeys. This was an extensive and magnificent structure, the creation of the prince's own eccentric yet august taste. A strong and lofty wall girdled it in. This wall had gates of iron. The courtiers, having entered, brought furnaces and massy hammers and welded the bolts.

....

It was then, however, that Prince Albert, maddened with rage and the shame of his own momentary cowardice, rushed hurriedly through the six chambers, while none followed him on account of a deadly terror that had seized upon all. He bore aloft a drawn dagger, and had approached, in rapid impetuosity, to within three or four feet of the retreating figure, when the latter, having attained the extremity of the velvet apartment, turned suddenly and confronted his pursuer. There was a sharp cry - and the dagger dropped gleaming upon the sable carpet, upon which most instantly afterward, fell prostrate in death Prince Albert.

Then summoning the wild courage of despair, a throng of the revellers at once threw themselves into the black apartment, and seizing the mummer whose tall figure stood erect and motionless within the shadow of the ebony clock, gasped in unutterable horror at finding the grave cerements and corpse-like mask, which they handled with so violent a rudeness, untenanted by any tangible form.

And now was acknowledged the presence of the coronavirus. He had come like a thief in the night. And one by one dropped the revellers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died each in the despairing posture of his fall. And the life of the ebony clock went out with that of the last of the gay. And the flames of the tripods expired.

And Darkness and Decay and the coronavirus held illimitable dominion over all.

It is obvious that antisemitism is inherently Mugabist in nature and any antisemitic argument can be automatically dismissed due to the fact. If a society gets jealous and gets rid of its Ashkenazi Jews it does not deserve compassion when worse off tribes later get rid of them under the same banner of egalitarianism.

I will not disrespect Ashkenazi Jews, ancient Rome or other civilization greater than NE Asia at the same time. Instead I show them respect and learn from them so that NE Asians can become stronger which will be beneficial to not only ourselves but also the rest of the world. In a world in which Germanics are getting corrupted it is duty of the NE Asian race to humanity to pick up the cultural treasure the Germanic left casually discards and improve click here & innovate based on them.

If the West or Israel collapses I will cry for them and then take up their mantle for if we don’t, who will? Nobody other than the NE Asian race can succeed Germanics if they collapse. We have to learn from the old Germanics (i.e. before 1960s) so that their cultural treasure remain even if they are terminally corrupted.


Given the population density of both nations... yup, it has to be like that! Especially because of the former where one infectious sneeze would set off a catastrophe.

For the actual discussion, let's just hope that it won't spread further, or kill more. And perhaps a vaccine, if it exists. EDIT: I did a quickie Google Search. I think it exists, but for not all the strains. I ain't an expert on this one, so I'm gonna sit out on further discussion.

Friendly reminder that "Germanics" didnt have civilization until the late middle ages/early renaissance. The Mediterranean has more of a history of that.

Not that northern Europeans are an inferior race. All peoples are equal, and within the last 300 years North Western Europeans have led the world in technological advancement. I think east asia may be about to overtake them though.

Many of my friends are also feeling this way. I've always looked at my friends to be the stronger ones too. This whole thing is awful and it's tough for me to keep optimistic.

His theories rely on looking at the world of today and not history itself.

There was a time when the Romans viewed the germans as an inferior race of men. Look how that changed. No one is permanently guaranteed a spot at the top of some human racial hierarchy. Societies rise and fall.

Three types of Zones would ideally emerge:

Yellow = Moderate amount of cases, partial lockdown instituted
Red = High amount of cases, dangerous, total lockdown.

The rate of new infections probably is. The pressure on the hospitals is going to keep getting worse for another week or so yet, though.

The big giveaway, imo, is the dry cough that's typical of lower-respiratory infections. A sore throat isn't a common symptom, either, iirc.

Your friend probably has a poorly timed cold or something.

Sneezing is not one of the recognised symptoms.
