I feel bad for Cervantes . He had to type a several dozen paragraph long essay across several posts just to finally convince ONE FUCKING BOARD MEMBER how malignant, racist, ignorant, belligerent, and overall fucked-in-the-head that far-right pro-fascism lunatic Jair Bolsonaro is. Anyone with half a brain knows that Bolsonaro is nothing but bad news. There is absolutely no reason why ANYONE should have to take as much time as Cervantes did to explain all the things wrong with him, because it's as clear as broad-fucking-daylight for anyone with a working conscience. It's important to remember that all but two of our regular american posters are confirmed Trump voters; outside of global democratic MeleeMonk, there's just Stratogustav, the global conservative who has gone on record as saying that he's glad Hillary Clinton didn't win the 2016 election and that he prefers Trump to Hillary Clinton, although I can't remember if he ever revealed whether or not he himself voted for trump in the last election. This is one of the main reasons I hate this forum's user base with a red hot burning passion; 75% of it are climate change denying, far-right american Trump voters, at least one of which, scipioafricanus , has already expressed approval with Bolsonaro's decisions as President, and I'm willing to bet my entire bank account that winnersdontusedrugs @dschult and cobretti would've voted for him if they lived in Brazil. That's how these american conservatives operate; they'll support any far-right politician who's pro military and dedicated to fighting all forms of democracy, no matter how "evil" they might be. Cervantes, I feel your pain. This is indeed a dark era for the Americas, and I have lost my faith in humanity.

I hate this forum's user base with a red hot burning passion I mean... really dude? This place have become a place where old friends of the old forums meet to talk about everything under the sun, more than a dedicated forum about games and CGR. So I just don't get why anyone would care to be here if they hated the user base.

Some people like to have fun, play games, talk to ladies, talk to men, etc.
A few like to punch themselves in the dick.
I'll leave it up to you which one our Lil Fake Ginger is in.

So I just don't get why anyone would care to be here if they hated the user base. He says the word "user base" like there's more than 14 people who frequent this site on any given day. I wonder if he thinks he's preaching to a million lurkers or something.

So in 3 days we went from 15 days: To 30 days: The best we can do for our economy is to stop everything right now, and get rid of it quickly. We know this because the pandemic of 1918 lasted 2 years, and 100 million people died during those 2 years, 50 on the first year. The countries that went into hardcore quarantines earlier got their economy back quicker and were able to build it again. The countries that went back and forth into quarantines didn't recover, so they lost both, the economy, and the most people. So I applaud the government for extending the quarantine, I just wish the restrictions were higher, but what we are doing is better than not doing anything, and it is saving a lot of lives. This is the quarantine game of the day:

Well Cervantes and Armored Core Raven have both proven themselves to be very progressive and valuable individuals, so I always enjoy chatting it up with them when I'm on here. Imperial Khador is nice enough as well. Don't have a problem with him either. And when I'm not chatting with them, I can still use this board as a social platform for spreading information & creating discussions about global epidemics such as climate change, warfare, and so on, so I have found plenty of ways to put this dump to good use.

So you're just doing this from the kindness of your heart then. Good for you. You should have a fucking medal or something for being so generous. Someone should paint a painting of you sitting at McDonald's with your computer where you educate us savages.

Hey, just to be clear, I'm not really trying to convince anyone of anything - I'm just trying to give you guys a report on how things are going on in my country, more as a way to blow off some steam due to this stressful situation that sucks so much. As the politics here got mad and not really comparable to any of your countries, I'm also giving some context if any of you is interested in looking at how each country is dealing with the virus. I would certainly like to hear from Balder how Norway is dealing with it and from centipede more about Australia (he mentioned just a bit in the WuFlu thread), just for curiosity's sake.

I would certainly like to hear from Balder how Norway is dealing with it and from centipede more about Australia (he mentioned just a bit in the WuFlu thread), just for curiosity's sake. Aside from our McDonald's Monk, nobody thought you were trying to convert anyone to a political standpoint Cervantes, don't even think about worrying about it. As for the Corona virus, Norway has been very active in trying to slow down the spread of the virus. All schools, universities and kindergartens have closed down, and will be closed at least until Easter, but my guess is that they will continue to be closed until summer. All of my exams have been planned to be done from home now and high school have cancelled all written exams, so I don't see any reason why schools should open up any time soon. Grocery stores are open and have been very good at cleaning card terminals and shopping carts. They also have disinfectant stations everywhere and some stores also gives out gloves (plastic ones motherfucker). The good thing is that people in this country are quite good at following rules so there's no need for curfews. People have started Facebook groups for helping out the elderly shopping etc., and people are actually keeping their distance whenever you are outside. The only thing that has been controversial is that some people have tried to go to their cottages, which is not allowed currently because the hospitals near the cottage sites don't have enough capacity if everyone went camping. Still, I don't think that many people ever went, but since it's a big tradition for a lot of people to go camping during Easter week, I can see why it would be a problem if they were allowed to go. As for myself, I think this is boring. Having a lot of free time is great, but not when you expect to keep yourself busy with some kind of work. I asked for some hours at my old job and they said they would get back to me if there was something for me, but I haven't heard anything. Most of my friends won't even hang out because they're scared to get infected. So there's a lot of playing video games and watching movies by myself, and it's getting tiresome to be honest.

Also, I forgot to mention that the death rate is really low here. So far only 39 people have died out of a population of 5.3 million. It's not very interesting to say out of how many infected because Norway has stopped testing people for the virus unless they have complications or they're in a special situation that requires testing.

It's not very interesting to say out of how many infected because Norway has stopped testing people for the virus unless they have complications or they're in a special situation that requires testing. Yeah, I think Norway has 44 people dead out 4,828 confirmed cases, that's only a 1.1% death rate, which is really good in comparison to other countries. About the testing, all countries are doing basically the same, only the people that seeks after the test, gets it, unless they are tracing, and it is mostly the people that feel they have symptoms already, or complications. That's why the confirmed cases is not the real number, we know it is a lot higher, but it is still an interesting number because the vast majority of those people are at least symptomatic, or have complications. The global death rate isn't very good when you think about it, specially considering this thing doubles in less than a week. It is not to same going from 50,000 to 100,000, than going from 500,000 to 1,000,000, specially considering how many people die as a consequence. This is the quarantine game of the day:
