the lab's construction was spurred by the sars outbreak, and studying sars was to be one of its goals

So we have a American virus being used to test the effectiveness of a new Chinese bio lab?

`But worries surround the Chinese lab, too. The SARS virus has escaped from high-level containment facilities in Beijing multiple times, notes Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey`
also from the 2017 article

Oh nouse! China is gonna take over the world!

Well after 2 weeks of hard focus I have passed by touch typing cert. Any suggestions for something worth while doing from home over the next 9 months to a year?

@Aldo why would you get a touch typing cert

it's 2020, everyone will assume you know how to type already

underwater basket weaving would be more valuable

I didn't need the cert, but typing faster looked handy since I am at a keyboard every day of my life.

you think so, but there are some stupid people out there.

Have a ton of extra time on my hands so wanted to do something more productive than playing games.

Language is an obvious option, Chinese to speak interperet for the coming wave of plague zombies seems the best choice.

gay

Chinese not the language of choice? Arabic? Spanish?

the only two languages i have any interest in learning would be german and japanese

so Arabian and Japanese you mean.

turkish*

hue

My dad speaks german and my brother did some japanese at college so I suppose they'd be handy to bond with them, just doesn't seem like I run into too many Germans or Japanese people in my day to day. Ton of Chinese people and Muslims though.

yeah but why would you want to speak to chinks or dirty arabs

'Hey special request don't mess with my food' or some secret verbal handshake at the takeaway

i don't really eat out much

@Ondsinet where's the air intake <:pepe_sweat:378719424548569088>

They're Chinese once one drops dead there's a dozen taking its place. That's how companies work over there afaik

true

chinese really does seem like a shit language though, they never developed an alphabet

`Even in the post apocalypse you still have to work`

the japanese have two alphabets, which is how you know they're superior to the koreans who only have one (who are in turn obviously superior to the chinese)

if it becomes a true plague, the communist reign is over as they cant handle the economic shock that will come from it
