I’ll tell you why. Covid is still a thing. Many people have given up trying to stop the spread. Here in Sydney practically every Asian I see in an indoor setting is wearing a mask. They are smart. The people refusing to wear a mask are dumb and failing to learn lessons about how smart Asians have been for decades.
So the takeaway here is that Asians are smart and I respect their virus dodging ways after decades of knowing the importance of masking up. I’m an honorary Asian now.
But seriously though kids, Covid is still a thing and there’s every chance this laissez-faire attitude to new variants will bring about a variant that can do some huge damage. Epidemiologists are crossing their fingers every time a new variant comes out and want the general public to understand we’ve been hugely lucky so far to not have another 2020 style serious outbreak.
Wear a mask. Tell me Michael, how could 4 billion Asian people be wrong?
Gotta love the Asians

“Covid is no different to the common cold”
Still some people busy educating themselves on YouTube, I see
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe they're just drawing off their own experience, or from the people they know who've had it?
Just because somebody has a different opinion doesn't make them a whackjob conspiracy theorist. I certainly aren't someone who is out there looking for answers to anything, but I've had Covid twice and yeah, it was no worse than a cold. If it wasnt for the whole isolation thing, I would have happily not missed a single day of work on either occasion. So why the hell should I waste a single minute giving a toss about it anymore? It's not a hoax, but it really isn't all that bad either.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
what a dumb take.
It really isn't all that bad except for those that it really is that bad for, but feck them eh

Honestly don't understand how Ace ever gets any laughs.
Just a guy who in real life would be some meek melted cheese looking man pretending to be hard on the internet, with no wit or anything involved. Is it all just a Barry style WUM I'm not picking up on?

Tbf, i think Robb is half trolling but he is also raises a very good point
is the individualistic mentality in the west truely better than eastan/asian ideology of society over personal happiness?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
*eastern/asian
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure it is society based any more than other places. China for instance has many cases of people, including children dying on roads after being run over and then being ignored.
The mask thing is one thing, just like the roads thing above.
Different cultures have their good, their bad, their mad. Asia as mentioned has billions of people in it and it's vastly different region to region
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are also strong collectivist traditions/societies in parts of the West, including, to give just two examples, in North America (until the Brits showed up) and contemporary Scandinavia.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
French and Spanish getting a by?
Russians in Alaska too?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was gonna argue that the English were there firstbut then remembered the Spanish set up the first trading post in Florida, I think?
But none of them get a bye, no.
They all plundered and stole and oppressed and slaughtered; and whilst doing so, failed to learn very much at all from people who had a huge amount to offer in their knowledge and understandings of ecology, sociology, politics and philosophy (amongst other things).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The definition of North America you've used is way too narrow anyway.

Yawn, even for Robb this is a laughable article. Guessing it’s a bad joke or something. If people want to wear masks that’s fair enough. There’s nothing ‘dumb’ about choosing not to wear one. I’ve had covid 4 times (that I know of). All 4 times I had it was when masks were mandated. Funnily enough since I stopped wearing a mask I haven’t had covid once.

I was only using it to frame the comment.
I don’t know anything about immediately pre- or post-Colombian Native American tribes south of the Rio Grande, tbh.

south of the Rio Grande they mixed in with the European conquerors way more than north of it....due to the very different way the Spanish (and Portuguese in Brazil) colonised the new world, compared to the Northern Europeans in N America

We may have initially helped fvck up North Americans but give them their due they’ve picked up that ball and ran with it. Ran like Forrest fvcking Gump on that score.

Some pretty strong evidence that all 'native' Americans roots come from Asia when there was a land bridge from Russia to Alaska.
