It just occurred to me that Slashdot is full of IT guys who bleat about Marxism and anti-Corporatism while desperately waiting for a Capitalist vaccine from Big Pharma. It would be ironic if it weren't utterly pathetic. Kind of like the "defund the police" types who call the police when they are personally threatened. Completely non-self-aware.

Things are back to normal where I live. Are you still cowering under your bed waiting for the Marxists to release their vaccine?

LOL. Slashdot IT guys. So fucking stupid.

Mod +5 accurate.

People who hoped to leverage a virus for a Marxist revolution. AKA: rsilvergun and his stupid daughter.

Jesus Christ. You are such a fucking narcissist. Sorry your social revolution didn't happen. Turns out those Corporations you hate bailed us out again.

My guess is a couple of years ago you would be here railing against "Big Pharma". Now it is "the right thing" and "citizenship". Being frightened changes people. The scared IT boys here on Slashdot are evidence of that. Truly fucking scary.

" then tell me what line I need to stand in, and I'll have my sleeve rolled up. It's called citizenship."

Wow. Authoritarians love guys like you. That was a truly scary statement, but you don't even realize it. Did you ever read "Starship Troopers"?

Double that number and you will get the number of Americans who die of smoking every year. Quadruple it and you will get the number of Americans who die of heart disease. Every year. Year in. Year out. Get a grip.

It treated less than 200 people and only stayed three weeks. It wasn't needed. The reason they deployed it there was because they weren't sure. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/1...

So many people here refuse to read anything that doesn't fir their worldview. Scary stuff.

Possibly both might be true. No one really seems interested in finding out though now. However there are a ton of Chinese tourists that go to Italy, Spain, New York, etc. My guess is that is how it spread (but I have no clue because no one seems to do the research now).

Excellent example. The USNS comfort wasn't even used for COVID patients and wasn't needed at all. https://www.navytimes.com/news... Neither was the "emergency hospital" setup in Central Park that the media bleated about. Idiotic. You guys are being led by the nose. No wonder you are so scared. You don't have a basic grasp of science or reality. You read the media headline and don't bother with following up.
