A new challenger in the race to be the worst thing this decade appears.

Here's some upsetting footage of the market it is rumoured to have originated from: https://edition.cnn.com/videos/world/2020/01/20/china-wuhan-origin-of-coronavirus-lu-stout-pkg-vpx.cnn/video/playlists/around-the-world/

Why don't they just eat normal stuff?

I reckon we're all doomed and may as well just give up now. Who's with me?

Stuff like this - and that story about Coca-Cola telling people to fuck off because consumers like the convenience of plastic bottles - clearly and irrefutably highlight that capitalism will wipe out our silly little species.

I remember the graffiti on the walls around that which made it look like the woman on the hotel's advertising material had a massive dick hidden under her dress. Ahh, memories!

Fredric Jameson said it's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism, and he wasn't wrong. The hideous thing is that in a lot of situations, it's both the kill and the cure, so people still find a way to make money out of the death and destruction wrought by capitalism run amok. There's always a way to profit.

Are we all going to die of this one again?

SARS, Bird Flu, H5N1... these Hollywood reboots are getting out of hand.

Write some original diseases you lazy hacks!

Coronavirus.... The names of these things always seem to be penalty kicks for Mock The Week/ 8 out ten cats joke writers. I think that's the real issue here.

Lets hope this one works this time.  Too many false viruses before that have come to nothing.

I personally think it's fantastic that new diseases are being invented all the time.  Keeps us on our toes (if we have any!!!).

This seems like the usual racist reporting on anything Chinese from Western news, TBH. Misleading as hell. They get a local expert on who says "I believe the virus spread from animals" and use it to imply that it came from this filthy Chinese market, doing filthy Chinese things like filthy Chineses like to do. It's not just abhorrent, it's also going to give you NEW SARS. Then they go to another market and basically say "no evidence, but it looks a little virusy".

I'm not saying that wild animals in Chinese markets don't cause disease but fuck me are CNN loving this and probably not the best source for accurate information on this, or anything. Facts? Pah, let's just make a racist case for where it could have come from and then run with that.

Can you imagine the same piece on foot and mouth disease showing the UK in a similar light?

They're even bottling the stuff!



Symptoms include sore throat, fever, nausea and disorientation, and it's the same with the coronavirus.

Not if you already died of the unpasteurised Brie.  Use your mind!

But look at them, with their animals out in the open where you can see them... oh wait that's actually better, isn't it.

No concentration camps set up though, at least not on UK shoes.

'Mouth' is code for 'concentration camps', hence "foot in mouth disease".  The camps aren't set up on the shoes of those feet; think things through utilising your mind!

Oh yes please please may it be forthwith granted INCIDENT status.
