And who suggested not studying these viruses?

China's level 4 labs do not meet the purported standards, and it is very plausible Covid 2019 was released from one of them. What needs to happen is for China to take this stuff more seriously because if a US convoy to your country concludes in an investigation that spans a few days that your labs aren't up to standard, if it takes them that little time to come to that conclusion, then their labs really must be sub par and not equipped to handle these viruses. Are we going to have another Covid pandemic in 2030? Is that what you're proposing?

Blaming domestic policy to distract from the source of the problem.

Keep engaging in your left wing right wing politics, and just like in 2003, and in 2019, China will be the source of yet another SARS pandemic.

So yes, case in point, your post is so deathly afraid to question the source, and instead points the finger elsewhere to distract and deflect what you probably do perceive as xenophobia.

You don't seem to know what a straw man argument is.

What the original poster submitted was a conspiracy theory.

No one said they were hiding anything. In the summer of 2019, they were posting job ads to work at the lab to study a new strain of Covid.

I think what everyone defending China is doing is contorting questioning of their level 4 lab safety into some accusation of weaponizing Covid.

I believe the SARS pandemic from 2003 was also released from a Chinese lab by mishandling. At the very least, the world should ensure that their fake level 4 labs are brought up to that actual level, and not be a fake certification like everything else in China seems to be.

No it wouldn't. There is a correct way to study viruses, and the Chinese way of studying them in very unsafe conditions. There were reports from 2018 that the purported level 4 labs in China weren't anywhere close to that level, and recommendation was for US to give China money to make them more secure.

The first SARS pandemic in 2003 was also originated in China. And I did read a story that the cause was lab workers that let it leak by mishandling.

So by investigating COVID2 from 2019, maybe we could prevent COVID3.

What is a "pro rig" exactly? Most of the new mirrorless cameras are so small, you can barely fit 3 fingers on the grip. 50mm fixed focal length prime lenses are small and light. The whole "rig" can be held comfortably by a small child.

I mean, they control what stories are discussed about a candidate already, and which one has a muzzle put on him, so why stop there.

No, we aren't listening to Facebook or Twitter as some authorities. They're simply trying to establish themselves as such, trying to interject into the national conversation to drive more eyeballs to their garbage service.

Do not draw broad generalizations from what private corporations do.

So driving while intoxicated is a non-issue to you? It sort of matters to me while I'm out walking or on my motorcycle. And I do smell weed coming out of cars around NYC all the time.

This distinction may make sense now. But what's stopping those ultra woke from protesting the status differences between master maestros and mere students. Are students not as valuable, not equal humans as maestros? How dare you put down the students and subjugate their contributions to the world of art?

I don't think there's a need to pick one. Both make points about a future.

I think Fahrenheit 451's concept of the 4th wall, of how technology isolates people, and makes them forget about important issues and instead focus on entertainment, on frivolous things, is just as important in suppressing information as actually burning books.

The meeting between the people at the end exemplifies the fact that information can be passed on between people, that cannot be burned. But that will only happen if people want to preserve it. And the majority of the population in the book didn't, instead seemed more interested in entertainment, pleasure, locking themselves away inside their virtual realities, engulfing themselves in reality tv and other empty calorie fluff.

Maybe you're taking the physical burning of the books too literally. It should be analogous with any form of trying to keep information locked away, and those that pass that information from one another are the ones that actually pay attention and reject the distractions.

And how many of these edge cases and capricious scenarios should Nikon, Sony and Canon support?

obviously you don't use data. You use Wifi in most cases where you download straight to a phone.
