You didnt but the WHO is suggesting that its the lack of available vaccinations that is because of vaccine hoarding by wealthy countries That is not the issue but you need countries to commit to this type of manufacturing

Gorthfuscious dont be fooled by the hyperbole that many people have been raising. I understand and support why the WHO is saying and I absolutely believe they mean well because its a UN institution like many others like the World Food Program which always help poorer countries with various social and disasters like famines. The failure of the reality to stop the virus spreading is almost 100 % because of the reality that citizens have simply ignored or rejected basic virus steps like mask wearing and social distancing, then you have the additional problem of some people thinking the virus was a "Western " plot, this must unfortunately be considered to the response of accepting the truth. Now its not right that people in any country should be exposed to the nature of the virus when its spread through the ignorance of leadership that thinks playing the "lets blame Capitalism " card is going to help when the virus spreads.....exponentially and you experience the terrible outcome of people dying. They are still older people but this means it effects peoples parents from my age group or grandparents who always matter... In Africa its best to legislate these things because we cant afford to be like the US which is stuck with maybe 50 % of people taking both jabs. The outcomes of waves are now always damaging and always the same outcome....we now going down from our third wave after 3 weeks or so It cant be optional in Africa because we simply do not have the resources to keep shutting down trade and then we have to deal additionally the economic recovery. In a first country like Oz and USA its much quicker because the economy is already opening so of course you feel it but its manageable .So any government needs to accept this and be very honest about how this virus is real and then they can address the spread by using normal preventative steps until the vaccines arrive . https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-56437852 So the reality in Africa is the WHO and most leadership kept repeating this misplaced view that the spread is due to " vaccine apartheid and vaccine nationalism " which is not the main reason. The much better strategy would have been for the WHO to publicly state that following personal actions stops the spread and vastly reduces the carnage we seeing. But the article is correct their is no logical reason to think getting the IP will someone change the real vaccine shortage because you also need production facilities and only SA has this investment in Africa and something that was done through a private sector company that sells other medicines globally. So we dont need to build a factory or find the skills, we just need the authorization to start....so its a good news story

You did the right thing IMO He wasnt meaning to be patronizing but thats how I would have taken it and acted in the same way and not given him money

I am nearly done with Sunless Sea, its been a great journey and the game is very entertaining but I have spent 80 hours on it and I am happy to move on now I played about 30 minutes of Hitman and then realized I dont want to play a game where I need to constantly sneak around and use disguises. So I uninstalled it Im seriously considering playing NWN:EE with loads of Mods added but I havent finished studying so maybe I should do that first

Im sure you joking but just in case you being serious. The virus did indeed originate from China, either the animal markets or escaped from a lab. But when you dont get vaccinated you spread mutations and the virus more easily than non-vaccinated people and your symptoms are more severe if you get the virus But this has nothing to do with the origin of the virus , this is now about the nature of the virus. These are two distinct things but inextricably connected But yes, empathically China is still responsible for the origin of the virus. This has not and will never really change

https://ussanews.com/News1/2021/07/23/video-alabama-governor-declares-its-time-to-blame-the-unvaccinated-for-covid/ The governor of Alabama is 100 % right, well done GOP governor. The unvaccinated is too blame primarily for Corona deaths and now its confirmed for the spread of the virus The message is late but better late than never @Gromnir I am sure you will join me in supporting this message from the Alabama governor

Thats clever and funny But shouldnt it be in the Jokes section ?

Nice catch, even better

Here is the official trailer, you cant tell me it doesnt look amazing. I cant wait, Day 1 watch for sure Our brains dont absorb or process data effectively when you present data like the 2 trailers next to each. Its not how most people would objectively understand things like a video and then comment Rather watch the trailers separately and then see what you think

Its an expansion, 20 hours or so in length and for high level characters from level 17 onwards and continues after the original campaign

One of my Cpt brothers and his wife have moved into a new house, rental for the moment, due to space restraints in their owned house. So we had a family gathering for my Cpt family and with all the violence in the country , which has almost subsided, my Dad was also in Cpt. We had a delicious curry, some drinks and laughs.....we tend to take things for granted in life but the brevity of life is real and you never know when something could go horribly wrong so I really appreciate family time together They have these really cute dogs and an even cuter fat cat ....George

Its a list of serious indictments and grievances towards Blizzard, they need to address it and I would expect people to be fired if some of these allegations are true. But it must be handled

Holy Smoke you Nordic people are.....hectic with your perceived societal failures Remember the Nordic countries are still the happiest places to live and if you throw yourself off a cliff you will undermine this data, so dont do it....remember the data !!! https://www.forbes.com/sites/laurabegleybloom/2021/03/19/the-20-happiest-countries-in-the-world-in-2021/?sh=6551d6d370a0

You right about the important of your stomach working properly. And one of simple but effective things to help with this is a diet of bran. I generally have All-Bran Flakes for breakfast, with yoghurt ( also excellent for your gut) and a banana 4-5 days out of the week and I reserve the weekend for cooked breakfasts or more unhealthy breakfasts I wouldnt be too worried about trying to exercise if things are painful, dont do things that are painful because that is your body telling you that you are not healed Focus on what doesnt hurt and build your body strength like that. Rowing is excellent therapy and will strengthen your back and legs but you must continue to walk even if you find it boring or unsettling because its a cardio exercise that makes and keeps you fit and wont put much strain on your body as opposed to jogging which is really good training but you can unintentionally hurt yourself with problems like torn muscles or knee problems from long distance running So whatever you decide to do please dont stop walking as its an effective form of cardio and will help you with your recovery

No it has everything to do with freedom vs unfreedom and Democracies vs Dictatorships, everything Lets be honest, how can a country like China ever become a true world leader when it doesn't even know how to unequivocally admit and acknowledge " yes, the virus came from us and we take responsibility" China reminds of me a child who tries to deny eating the chocolate cake and their is chocolate all over its face

Sorry to hear Raithe, my thoughts are with you and your family

Okay now I know how serious you are about not wanting to support this game if you would rather donate money to Star Citizen ....thats some serious lack of confidence and I have to accept I cannot change your mind ...ever

You Brazilians are very brave, I was too terrified to play this game. I am weak and puny

I was thinking about our discussion and you raised some interesting points. I agree its a social-cultural norm for people who speak English, to generally say " how are you ", as their native language and not about the language and thats what makes it interesting. It raises a different debate and that is what you touched on which is " what else defies language in the way we speak English" and you can normally see this when you study the difference between how native English and non-English people communicate like in this example An example that comes immediately to my mind is the appalling usage of slang and framing of certain words from native English speakers. I really try not to use slang or certain colloquialisms unless its on the Internet where I am forced to and where due to time restraints its easier to say something like " Western\Capitalist " to describe something that gets used as an ideological statement or the word "woke " to loosely describe some of the debates around BLM and similar discussions. But people on the Internet immediately understand what you mean when you use these words which is why I use them But my question is how would you classify slang in this debate and what is your personal view on it when it comes to native English speakers. I thinks it erodes and undermines the way we should communicate and its lazy and shouldn't be encouraged

Do you get paid overtime for this, most overtime work I use to do in JHB on projects or SLA I never use to get paid overtime but I could take time off which was beneficial and advantageous

Well done for eating healthily or at least trying to Keep it up Its always a good idea to alternate your meals between meat and fish and you normally have to accept the smells that permeate your home. I have always had extractor fans above my stoves, they not that expensive and they help neutralize various cooking smells But for me I love the aromas of meat and food generally because even with an extractor fan their is generally a smell which lasts a bit and thats okay.....dont use that to stop cooking healthy food

Hi Comrade " waves " I have missed your Communist\Socialist hyperbole , where have you been? The GOP is not even remotely like ISIS, Russia or China. No need to worry but I appreciate your concern. Remember none of those groups\countries are Constitutional Democracies and the Constitution is always the bulwark to prevent the collapse of the USA into some terrible CCP autocratic dictatorship where people have no rights to even criticize government and where their is no transparent legal system Also MSNBC is like some far left extremist news channel, lets be honest? Its the opposite of FOX but on the left so I dont generally take anything that comes from them as objective or something that should typically concern us

" Summon Gromnir " , thats a good way of describing what triggers him around certain topics. I am going to start using it if you dont mind? But I do appreciate his views and effort he puts into his posts even if I dont always agree with him, I am a person who likes details and Gromnir is a details person and often includes links which matters to me when making posts in debates

Raithe, you know how the ancient laws and codes works of all things fantasy . If you claim to be a fan of fantasy RPG then you always support everything and anything to do with AD&D and D&D We all know this, its like saying " I like fantasy books " but you havent read Lord of Rings. ( which I wasnt crazy about but I did read it and the Hobbit....I found these books to be a little boring in their style of English which I realize is old nowadays. I love George R R Martin and Steven Erikson style of fantasy )
